Everything they recently added is pure bullshit and useless stuff. Just watch the video I linked, it says everything you want to hear. With all the data shared to their partners, I guess it's relatively easy to fingerprint you, depending on how they do it. And cmon about the servers, I never go to their website, I only cost money because of the shit ton of data they retrieve. An update ping from time to time and an update twice a month can't possibly cost 5 million dollars.

They don't have anything to spend money on, the browser is pretty much full of features. The only thing to do is make it faster and check for security issues.

At least on Brave you can opt out of this bullshit

sorry if I missed something I’m high as fuck

Nice

firefox is an opensource software where literally anyone can view the source code and check themselves what is actually sent. you argument all you want with the “but can youn trust them?” but literally anyone esle except some guy on youtube didn’t feel like complaining about firefox

As if people actually did that. I bet serverside code isn't open source

I feel like they use the email address as a primary key in their database and need to copy an account and duplicate it to set it to another mail.

It’s the only possible explanation I see as to why they don’t let us do it.

Did you forget about geolocation?

Mozilla's websites are full of trackers too, and they are largely funded by Google. How can you protect privacy when your biggest customer gains money by tracking? Seems like a clear conflict of interest.

And it’s not a bit of telemetry data, it’s literally your entire computer config, number of tabs open, duration… they claim not to log IPs, but can you really trust them? The point is you’re constantly pinging with your IP to their servers for useless reasons. They literally sell your data by sharing it to their “business partners”.

They also send the url of all files you download to Google by default. Great. That’s privacy!

(The video also gives some good points)

I believe a lot of info I got was from this video but it’s been a while so I’m not too sure: https://youtu.be/ugnOM2mzgNU

Also yea Firefox sends a lot of telemetry data and stuff, even if you disable the option in the menu. You have to go to the developer mode to remove all of it. Check "hardened Firefox". If there is an hardened Firefox, then there is a non-hardened Firefox.

And then there are all the contracts and calls to Google's server, for example for geolocation and stuff

And if you want the ultimate proof, everything is in their privacy policy https://www.mozilla.org/fr/privacy/firefox/ - just see how much data they collect, use and share, for better or for worse.

Fuck that, financial anonymity and privacy should be a fundamental right

About that, how do we get good search results from Lemmy? I feel like the most important thing to me is finding info through google searches

Aren’t most lists available on other browsers and ad blockers? Unless Raymond created the format

Not really anymore for Mozilla. They now get a lot of your private data and share em with their “business partners”

Yea it’s mainly those that do the work actually

Didn’t know google did shady things with our mail, but yea I shouldn’t be surprised

Not all countries will comply, and not all will require you to stay silent

Then you have the 1l 1L problem

Proton has a free plan as well

Proton is also a bit shady about their marketing and aren’t really transparent about governments asking for data. It’s also really really expensive for what it is.

Good news, that’s one point where the EU takes good decisions. Sadly, fight against privacy in terms of anti money laundering rules and similar

That sucks. Legal obligation I suppose?

Bro is evil

XMR doesn’t seem supported though

Could very well be legit. I tried stealths.net and it worked, although I’ve only tried once and with a small amount

Thanks for sharing
