So this, from Firefox, is fucking toxic: https://mstdn.social/@Lokjo/112772496939724214
You might be aware Chrome— a browser made by an ad company— has been trying to claw back the limitations recently placed on ad networks by the death of third-party cookies, and added new features that gather and report data directly to ad networks. You'd know this because Chrome displayed a popup.
If you're a Firefox user, what you probably don't know is Firefox added this feature and *has already turned it on without asking you*
If you’ve already read through this and understand what it means and are still worried about your privacy, I would recommend you switch to LibreWolf - it takes all the best practices of hardening Firefox for security and works out of the box. Unfortunately, this means you can’t play certain videos, it doesn’t auto-update, and some - likely many - websites will break/not work. This is the price to pay for true privacy. If you don’t want that, just keep using Firefox.
You aren’t happy with your selection of free software and still have the audacity to call the people behind that names? You didn’t even read the article did you.
Be a “decent” person yourself and start your own browser. We’ll happily judge.
Someone tell me pls which browsers are developed by actually decent people? I’ll switch
Firefox is a good example

I’ve been using Librewolf for years and pages not working are extremely rare.
That and the pages that don’t work are trying to force a fingerprinting/tracking technique you shouldn’t want to allow anyways.
Or they use WebGL. I keep a chromium install just for that.

Sure. Firefox is developed by lovely people.

My browser will have blackjack and hookers…
The article is a huge misrepresentation and the author is an idiot.
