Or even better, a fork of Firefox which disable all that telemetry crap and bundle with uBlock Origin : LibreWolf.
LibreWolf
I’ve tried a bunch of time but I feel going back to Chrome.
I’m currently trying or Oprah for the first time.
Ungoogled Chromium exists but it just feels 1/10 of what Firefox is capable of doing.
There is also UnMozilla’d Firefox for even more privacy!
Is Fennec on Android like that? Still developed by Mozilla, but has all branding, telemetry and firefox-account stuff removed (even comes with duckduckgo as default search engine)
I think Fennec F-Droid is a straight re-compile of the official Android app with binary blobs removed. So technically it is the actual open source version. Firefox telemetry is open source (at least on the client side) so wasn’t in the scope of that, but there are certainly variants that remove that as well.
Brave + privacyBadger is about the best you can do. If you turn all the features on it anonymizes your plugins and screen res returns enough that you can’t be identified by a unique configuration.
It supports TOR for private browsing natively.
I don’t trust them more than Mozilla, but the do a better job at keeping my browsing habits out out the hands of my ISP and the sites I visit.
how exactly does chrome not respect my privacy?
and i don’t just mean “because it’s google and google is an ad company”. what specifically is it sending to some internet server that firefox doesn’t? both the firefox and address bars send what you type into them to a search provider. as near as i can tell, firefox’s committment to privacy is to say “we protect your privacy” while doing all the same stuff that chrome does.
