Firefox has some really good privacy features built-in (some aren't enabled by default and requires minor configuration by users). In contrast, some big tech firms (you know who they are) that have a business model that involves profiting off of users' data are inherently deterred from delivering really good privacy features.
- Nextgrid 4y agoFirefox's built-in privacy features are meaningless as long as it has single-digit marketshare and the user-agent itself sticks out like a sore thumb. Furthermore, the only real way to make a difference by actually blocking malicious domains and resources - uBlock Origin - still isn't bundled by default despite being permissively licensed and Firefox having a way to install extensions at first run (that's how Pocket is distributed - it's not built into the browser, instead it's an extension automatically downloaded on first run).
