Yeah but for example fingerprinting is either fully on or fully off

Switching defaults hurt fingerprinting more than it helps so at that point might as well stay with the default firefox

Librewolf is too restrictive and not suitable for everyday browsing. I hate it.

never tested cromite

Brave has a built in ad blocker

at this point you're just hating on brave for nothing

Brave: injected affiliate links once, then apologised for it too. Developped a search engine to be less dependent on big companies

Mozilla is spending money like crazy, just like Wikipedia, has little to no democratic system which makes people fork the stuff they make, and prefer to use the money from donation to buy trips all over the world to educate about privacy and shit while they proceed to keep adding more telemetry and BS in firefox

They also make it close to impossible to install plugins outside their plugins website, which I've heard has some strict rules and take a lot of time to approve stuff. Closed garden bullshit again

I'm pretty sure if Firefox/Mozilla decides to change their policy on something, most forks of firefox will have no choice but follow the same path

afaik all firefox forks are really small, just like chromium forks

Mozilla might not have as much conflicting interests though, I admit it

Sure, so? It's still opt-in, and by default it sends the generated crypto money to creators and websites you visit

If you don't like it, don't enable it? They're pretty transparent about how it works overall

They have pretty much abandoned this feature anyways

It's not that bad. Sure, having more choice is good, but it's not as life threatening as you make it seem

Using android and stock ROMs is a bigger problem

Nope, but it put a closed source Mr Robot plugin without asking anyone

If the traffic stop is illegal, then you are well within your rights to refuse to cooperate.

Don't know if that's the case in australia. It is in the USA I believe, but for other countries? Not sure

The wrongs of the police far outweighs the ones of the victim

Saw both POV and it was shocking

From the police POV you don't see anything really bad happening (due to the angle basically showing the cops' feet), but from the guy's POV you see that everything is wrong

Et tu réponds ceci :

Je répondais à : "Qu’est-ce que tu fais ici, tu as lu la charte ?"

C'est bien beau de citer mon commentaire mais il faut le lire correctement et pas dans le sens qu'on veut.

A "je te parle de racisme et de LGBTphobie, tu em réponds que tant que ça apporte une opinion c’est intéressant…" j'ai répondu "Et bien dans ce cas tu as eu ta réponse, ce genre de contenu n’est pas autorisé"

Je faisais référence aux cas où la critique de sujets controversés, où la discussion de différents sujets scientifiques à propos de ces sujets étaient considérés comme du racisme et de la LGBTphobie à tort.

Tu ne mélanges deux choses, là ? C’est une chose d’être (relativement) libre de son choix algorithmique et c’en est une autre d’avoir le droit de dissimuler le choix algorithmique qu’on a fait.

Hors sujet ? Je dis que divulguer leur algo c'est divulguer son fonctionnement donc risquer une fuite donc risquer de se le faire copier

Je suis pour qu'ils déclarent les potentiels biais de leurs algos, mais pas son fonctionnement

it has better anti fingerprinting than firefox? That's nice to know

Sure, that sucks, but the product is good

You can't always agree with everyone

Uh... no? It just puts sponsored backgrounds when you open new tabs or windows notifications if you opt-in

It never replaced ads in websites afaik

Exactly this. They're acting braindead and disliking things for no valid reason

Just massively spreading misinformation

I mean Mozilla's Firefox is 🤮 too... there's no perfect browser

They shit on it because just like Mozilla, they made some shit decision by making some shady partnerships, and because the CEO is transphobic/homophobic/can't remember

Apart from the usual bullshit and antifeatures it has, it's still a great browser choice, just like Firefox

It's probably the best chromium browser out there

Firefox has done shit too

sadly we don't have a lot of choice, but they're one of the least worse

C’est pas parce qu’il s’“améliore” par la suite que proposer Elon Musk par défaut n’est pas un choix éditorial.

Je n'ai pas dit le contraire. La question portait sur "bon algo". Homme de paille ?

ça me parait illusoire que Twitter ne soit pas au courrant

Certes, c'est un argument.
