Firefox has telemetry and "run studies" turned on by default.
- NotYourLawyer 3y agoNothing’s perfect. Firefox is the least-bad of the available options, and it’s pretty good.
- kernal 3y agoSo now we've gone from respecting the user privacy to "least bad". You're either for user privacy or you're not.
- NotYourLawyer 3y agoI mean, I guess use lynx if you’re that worried about it. Or use Firefox and spend 2 minutes customizing about:config. My point was just that Firefox is a lot better than Brave. I’ll stand by that.
- kernal 3y agoUser privacy is a fallacy. The standards we judge applications are thrown out the window relative to the services we use in everyday life. Do you think your ISP, TV service, Cellphone carrier, Credit Card company, etc. care about your privacy and don't sell your data? The answer is rhetorical. Yet these user privacy hypocrites somehow exempt these egregious violations because it's just the way it is. I mean, heaven forbid Google stores my data in their impenetrable ultra secure data centers, but ISP's, TV providers, Cellphone carriers and Credit Card companies - go to town with my data and sell it to as many data brokers as you can.
- NotYourLawyer 3y agoSo what’s your point, just give up? Declare privacy bankruptcy?
- drakz 3y agoSo Firefox gets a green card for doing telemetry by default without user's consent and Brave doesn't?
