  • I would not call an OS where you can’t really start any “big” app a success. If you can’t do anything with it, what’s the point?

    You can’t really degoogle a phone without sacrificing a lot of things. Most “degoogled” phones just use a compatibility layer that still gives google loads of infos

    I would much rather have neither of Apple or google, but having to chose, I prefer Apple, at least they’re not on every website I visit

    Btw you can “deapple” by jailbreaking but it becomes a huge pain, as degoogling is

    Finding a good phone with good specs, a good OS that is elegant and doesn’t track you at an acceptable price with all the features just isn’t possible

    Everything they recently added is pure bullshit and useless stuff. Just watch the video I linked, it says everything you want to hear. With all the data shared to their partners, I guess it’s relatively easy to fingerprint you, depending on how they do it. And cmon about the servers, I never go to their website, I only cost money because of the shit ton of data they retrieve. An update ping from time to time and an update twice a month can’t possibly cost 5 million dollars.

    They don’t have anything to spend money on, the browser is pretty much full of features. The only thing to do is make it faster and check for security issues.

    At least on Brave you can opt out of this bullshit

    sorry if I missed something I’m high as fuck

    Nice

    firefox is an opensource software where literally anyone can view the source code and check themselves what is actually sent. you argument all you want with the “but can youn trust them?” but literally anyone esle except some guy on youtube didn’t feel like complaining about firefox

    As if people actually did that. I bet serverside code isn’t open source

    Did you forget about geolocation?

    Mozilla’s websites are full of trackers too, and they are largely funded by Google. How can you protect privacy when your biggest customer gains money by tracking? Seems like a clear conflict of interest.

    And it’s not a bit of telemetry data, it’s literally your entire computer config, number of tabs open, duration… they claim not to log IPs, but can you really trust them? The point is you’re constantly pinging with your IP to their servers for useless reasons. They literally sell your data by sharing it to their “business partners”.

    They also send the url of all files you download to Google by default. Great. That’s privacy!

    (The video also gives some good points)

    I believe a lot of info I got was from this video but it’s been a while so I’m not too sure: https://youtu.be/ugnOM2mzgNU

    Also yea Firefox sends a lot of telemetry data and stuff, even if you disable the option in the menu. You have to go to the developer mode to remove all of it. Check “hardened Firefox”. If there is an hardened Firefox, then there is a non-hardened Firefox.

    And then there are all the contracts and calls to Google’s server, for example for geolocation and stuff

    And if you want the ultimate proof, everything is in their privacy policy https://www.mozilla.org/fr/privacy/firefox/ - just see how much data they collect, use and share, for better or for worse.
