So... seems like Firefox has its own trackers too?
(thelemmy.club)
Telemetry != tracking
Happy cake day!
Happy cake day, though.
...or not, dunno if Cake Day is also a thing to wish happy for here.
Yes, it has had telemetry for as long as I can remember. You can see the collected data at about:telemetry and you can turn it off in the settings.
Its also disabled in the secure soft forks like librewolf et al.
Ironfox says "about:telemetry" is a unavaliable URL.
Some limited telemetry makes sense so devs can know what to work on
They also can see if a new piece of code is crashing all over the place.
yup, for logging errors in the browser. imagine having to close every complaint from users because you don't know what they were doing when something went wrong :(
Oooh, got it.
Telemetry in FF is nothing new, but you can disable it.
Find out for yourself!

It seems that the new Konform browser is better than librewolf.
skavau is a clown
OK.
There is message for those of you in sibling thread!
Old news, install Librewolf.
Forks also contain trackers, the best you can do today is use the browsers with TC on your phone. IronFox also has these trackers listed. Tor also has them.
