Respecting privacy.
I urge non-technical people to switch to Firefox constantly. People understand, often cannot be bothered.
Times change and more and more people are realising that in the twenty first century we need to protect ourselves not so much government oppression as corporate dominance and surveillance. So they bother
Part of that is using Firefox. In my experience, people get it. Be they computer programmers or plumbers.
- Nextgrid 4y ago> Respecting privacy. Firefox in its default configuration does nothing about privacy because just the IP address and user-agent are unique enough to track you. It may actually make it even worse because Firefox' marketshare is so small that the user-agent sticks out like a sore thumb. You need uBlock Origin to have any chance at privacy.
