These are absolutely reasonable criticisms.

But Mozilla is better that the big G in this respect, and fastly is at least attempting to do something. So for that, I give them kudos. Especially on the heels of the Encrypted Hello announcement.

Interesting. You’re probably the first person in years I’ve seen critical of firefox from a privacy standpoint. You really think they’re that bad? Genuinely asking.

I mean what would you use instead? I just don’t think there is a single, reasonably functional browser out there with privacy as good as FF’s. If there is I truly am all ears. I run little snitch mini a ton and FF doesn’t seem to trip it off, but I’m sure some stuff happens I haven’t caught. Always good to scrutinize these things though.

I use Proton VPN + uBO so anymore extensions are at best redundant, at worst memory hogs and conflicting with each other. I found decentraleyes to be pretty worthless personally.

It is probably time I set up wireshark yes

If they are that bad according to him , idk what browser he uses because there is no other option. Firefox is the only non google browser , then brave and all those other shittie chromium browsers.

Safari/Epiphany

Yeah I mean I guess he could use Mullvad but it’s just a FF fork anyway so idk
