@helenslunch @akilou sure… and we don’t have to be their customers. Free markets are awesome that way.
@EmperorHenry @streetfestival @Firefox is a horrible browser if you want to block ads and protect your privacy. It’s funded by Google. Try Librewolf instead.
@Pantherina Firefox is busted and Mozilla is broken. Need to revert to core principles. In the meantime use Librewolf, a better privacy focused fork of Firefox, and Betterbird, a better privacy focused for of Thunderbird.
They’ve raked in BILLIONS from Google by selling their customers. In the FOSS world, the customer should be a partner, not the product.
@Scrollone @stifle867 it doesn’t seem very professional or well run. Reminds me a little of Mozilla. Both focus on many thinks and do an average (to bad) job rather than doing fewer things with a focus on excellence.
@CO_Chewie @Papanca ... and also improve the rate of development...
@Albin9326 @stifle867 The proton plan is good value. I just want proton to give a shit about linux and provide decent support. Linux is the lowest class citizen to proton.
@BrikoX @Grangle1 I stopped using Brave because of this. Switch to @librewolf
Many people think of Google as a search company, but its flagship product is actually your identity, courtesy of Gmail. If you use Gmail, you’re always logged in to your Google account, which is how Google can connect your search terms, GPS location, photos, YouTube views, and more to your real-life identity. And every time you sign up for a new service and provide your email address to create an account, Gmail knows about it first.
