Lunduke: Use Firefox? Mozilla Says it Can Use Your Data However it Wants

[WielkiWapiesz2137]

I guess the only contender are debloated browsers like Ungoogled-chromium or Librewolf.

So de-jewed jewware.

"Yeah. That sounds about right".

I still think debloated browsers are the only good option nowadays no matter what they were based off of like Chromium. I'd take Ungoogled-chromium over Brave any day of the week.

 

[mindlessobserver]

At this point Google is preferable to Mozilla.

And that says something.

 

[Safir]

Is there any browser that isn't Jewware?

There's Ladybird but it's not even in alpha yet. No girlcock in the CoC. A board member is an "antifascist" he/him troon chaser, really likes "binders for queer youth".

 

[Spasticus Autisticus]

I really have to wonder if it's even wise to move to a Firefox fork. This isn't because of the Mozilla ToS, but because this portends financial woes for Mozilla. If Mozilla goes under, development on Gecko will probably cease. Its only hope is to get adopted by a big tech company, but even Microsoft had to abandon EdgeHTML. Maybe Amazon or Meta could acqui-hire the Gecko devs, but to what end? And it's not like they'd be any better stewards than Mozilla. I think if you're moving to Librewolf or the like, you might want to think about a backup plan.

 

[mindlessobserver]

Mozilla was always a fucking scam to justify Google monopoly on internet browser tech. At this point it's just full mask off and the inmates are running the asylum.

 

[⚞⛇⚟]

Mullvad Browser/Librewolf is still good, right?

I guess you could use Lynx and retvrn to text-only HTML like it’s 1993.

The optimistic rainbow side of me wants to believe this limits them from selling your information or giving it to third parties but the much larger realistic side of me knows that it's easy for a lawyer to somehow frame whoring your personal information out as 'helping you experience online content.' I wonder how this applies to shit like bank account info and other personal shit like that.

There are no limits and they also own and will sell your KiwiPosts too not just your address, banking information, IP address, VPN locations, searches, anything you've ever clicked on, etc. All your dissident memes and AI images, your AI coomer art, any images of yourself or your pets etc. Anything through the browser. Anything means anything.

Your bank account is compromised you'll at least get a call from a "security center" jeet that your bank account is being robbed and they are sorry this has happened to you. You'll have no idea about anything else until the Moz foundation's elite multi-millionaire marxist troons SWATs you from the annual resort getaway.

Until Chrome is spun off from Google and sold to Mozilla which Lunduke has theorized many times as the likely anti-trust resolution.

It was pretty good, same with Pine and Tin. No zoomers in fact no one born after the 80s, no phonefags, no LE, no government spying, no social media, no women, no ads. No real laws or judges that even use computers or the internet and have no idea what anyone would even be talking about. The clarity of thought and purpose indescribable to the modern day grumpus and Chud.

What's your issues with Brave? I don't really keep up with browser wars except when stuff like this happens.

Don’t threaten me with a good time mister.

 

[mindlessobserver]

Damn this conversation makes me feel old. I remember when to find something on the internet you would just type "name of thing".com. and if that didn't work, you would go to directories where all the websites on the internet were listed like phone numbers in the yellow pages (which were also still a thing)

 

[The Mass Shooter Ron Soye]

Use Brave until they fuck up.

the second they introduced RUST I knew it had gone to shit.

They ended up kicking that shit to the curb, unless it's being used in some other context:

DMOZ was the big one and many sites just syndicated it. It became comically west-coast liberal corrupt once Google came along and ranked anything mentioned in that directory quite highly. At the same time Yahoo directory charged I think $200 just for them to look at your website and deny it or add it with 6-12 months turnaround time (old attitude that lead to the creation of DMOZ).

So Yahoo ruined their own directory, DMOZ ruined most any other directories and initiatives to calmly just list places to go online. Then Google ruined DMOZ. Only for Google in 2025 to alter their internal propaganda and ethos so that they can now ethically build AI weapons to kill humans with for the government. That's one hell of a slippery slope.

every executive at google should be in fucking jail.

It just comes with a lot of unnecessary bullshit that I don't want or need. I know I can turn them off but it gives me peace to not have them at all.

Well. Good thing I stopped using Mozilla shit years ago I guess.

 

[30+GameOvers]

Is this why I am being pushed to update or have my entire browser self-explode all of a sudden?

I know how to stop automatic updates, but how do I stop "everything from breaking" or whatever without needing to update? Never heard of any other browser doing anything like this.

 

[Combustion Engine]

The beaten wife relationship with Mozilla continues, shifting the "next time they do this shit I'm out" every single time until it's just a chromium reskin. Firefox still has some way to go before it's as cancerous as every other major browser, but those retards never waste a chance to remind you that you aren't welcome to use their software as-is (and that they don't even have a target user audience for, or, wait.. there is one).

 

[I'm Retarded?]

TL;DR: Use brave.

Well, Mozilla is an ad company after all.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser)#Business_model

The Brave browser's business model is based on its share of ad revenue.

Unlike other browsers that only display websites, Brave earns revenue from ads by taking a 15% cut of publisher ads and a 30% cut of user ads.

Brave expects to generate revenue from selling Basic Attention Tokens (BATs) to advertisers, letting users earn them while viewing ads and content.

use LibreWolf

So de-jewed jewware.

the problem with modern browsers is that the modern internet is so packed full of stupid scripting and markup languages that all need their own interpreters and modules and shit that actually developing a browser from scratch is a Herculean task. since Firefox and Chromium are both FOSS, it's much easier to simply fork the existing projects and remove the offending elements instead, which takes far less time and effort. de-jewing jewware is something that can be done by a handful of sperglords in their spare time; making basedware is not.
