I have no sympathy for GAFAM, nor for Mozilla.

It’s not chinese. Like, at all. You may be talking about Opera.

OTOH, Brave is FOSS: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser

Please, don’t spread FUD and don’t parrot what people say without even a bit of research.


It’s well know that FF defaults aren’t exactly the best for privacy.


AFAIK, connecting to a random port on your own server isn’t a crime. Yet.


I have already set up a proxy on my foreign VPS. National Court can suck my duck.


In my humble opinion, unless you use your account only to receive emails but also to send them, your provider has limited effect on your privacy. That’s why I personally don’t have a use for Tuta, Proton and other similar, super private services (mind you, I’m not saying they aren’t good). That said, I’ve been a happy customer of mailbox.org for quite a few years and I found them reliable and cheap (if you don’t need a custom domain). Same for Posteo, I guess. At the moment, I’m a paying customer for Zoho email, with quite a few custom domains abd I’m fairly happy. They have a free tier as well and their privacy policy looks good to me.


Calc is fine, Writer is… alright and can be used if compatibility with MS stuff for collaboration is not your primary goal. But my main complaint is about Impress, which still can’t manage inline formulas, so I can’t use it for scientific presentation without ugly and time wasting workarounds That’s a pity.


Posteo doesn’t, IIRC. But Zoho, for instance, does allows you to use many custom domains and it’s like 10 €/year.



Maybe because it’s their most direct competitor? FOSS and similar features OOTB. Dunno, just guessing.


The point is that pretending there is no connection when there is clearly a huge relevance here is massive.

In the imagination of upvotes-hungry virtue-signaling people, of course.


Ok. I’m a bad person because I enjoy using a given browser. I get that.

Another one that goes on my ignore list. Bye.


Yawn… I’m tired of this shit. You people are really ridiculous. I’m going to just block you. Enjoy your cognitive dissonance and your virtue signaling.


What is beyond my understanding is why every fucking time someone posts some relevant TECHNICAL info or question about that browser there’s always someone else, which appears to be less smart than an amoeba, that feels the need to write the same exaggerate and OT bullshit about the CEO.


I’m not a shill for Brave. It has its fair share of technical issues but it’s the less worse browser for my use case (better than FF, anyway). Your (or mine) opinion on the CEO has nothing to do with the technical issue discussed in OP’s link.

And no, what MAGA are you talking about? I’m not even 'murican. Take your meds, dude.


He wasn’t fired. He voluntarily left. And thus Mozilla is left with an incompetent CEO whose only aim is to increase her paycheck year after year, despite pathetic market share results for FF. Enjoy that.

That said, nobody cares about your “friendly remainders”. We’re talking about software here, not politics.

And, to stay on topic, yes, it happened to me that Strict FP broke some website, in particular those displaying a frame with a map or similar stuff. So I’ve resorted to use “standard” FP myself.


Not to be a defeatist, but unless a significant share of internet users does this, the effect would be at most negligible.


Yeah, but “not knowing” is not (entirely?) Google’s fault.


Everybody with basic reading abilities already knew that “incognito” is just “not saving stuff locally”. Sites can track you regardlessly. With any browser.


Interesting question. IMHO you’re right: if you reject 3rd party cookies at browser level, so “accepting” them from the GDPR form shouldn’t really matter. Plus, many browsers nowadays forbid 3rd party websites to access cookies from other websites (in my understanding)…

I’d like someone with a more deep knowledge to contribute to the discussion.


In the end, Mozilla is being fueled with money coming from violating the privacy of internet users.


Stupid conversations, stemming from stupid premises, are not going anywhere.


Ok. Nice. I’ll keep using Brave anyway. Have a good day.


It’s cute how people sincerely believe Mozilla PR.


Yes. At least they aren’t a money-grab virtue-signaling scammy “org”


I don’t want to support Mozilla, for a lot of reason I don’t have the time or the will to discuss here. Is that enough for you? It is for me.


Imagine using stuff from a company whose main income (~90%) is from a deal with Google… Oh, wait…


I’ll keep using and promoting it. I consider it better than Mozilla/FF anyway. Deal with it and stop telling people what they should and shouldn’t do.
