you dont know but yet you talk rubbish

lol i'm sure the average joe who switches from windows to you name what linux distro does this by himself and not the os doing it for him wtf

driver firmware does not count?
ofc it does.
it is just your opinion and it holds also no weight with me too

Explain then why gnu-linux libre kernel exists if linux kernel is totally free?

What do you even try to say?

How is it 100% free if it has non free firmware? Lol.

i hoped there are some config values that i am unaware of to do the changes i want.

open source = some parts of the code can be open at best, it isnt what it sound. license matters. this word is just a trick.

yet, i wouldnt count on someone auditing code, there was lots of big projects with trully open code that had bad code injected for decades and noone noticed.

as much as i know, those extensions call back on developer server for updates/new filters etc. so i skip.

what most people do is wrong in most cases. elaboration goes nowhere and in general just derails the topic more.

an extension has access to eveything you visit. it tracks you and sells/shares your data. not to mention potential bad code injection.

waste of time. cat and mouse game.

it was an example, this relates to any domain you visit.
