Fennec for Android is recommended

Mozilla just panders to the whole, "hey look we're independent and edgy and cool look how non-conformist we are" scene whilst implementing policies that are anything but.

I REALLY wish they wouldn't get political. Pretty bad that we basically get to choose between them and google. They are the lesser of two evils at least.

Try kiwi

jw329 · 2021-01-10T04:31:50+00:00

its so strange that all of a sudden all these top people in companies are coming out and are against freedom,

seems to me like these people are being told what to say or loose their jobs,

i always thought whoever is behind this has been targeting high profile people for many years and blackmailing them in exchange for money and sex

Brave. It was made by ex-firefox employees. The main guy got cancelled out of mozilla.

It's the browser I use and I'm slightly ashamed....

What do you think is a good alternative?

zyxzevn · 2021-01-09T23:38:58+00:00

We could be the next target..

I've never seen so many sore winners in my whole life.

There aren't really many browser choices, it's the same 3: chrome, safari, and firefox. Everything else is just a skin slapped over one of those.

Drewski · 2021-01-09T19:15:47+00:00

Firefox is still the best alternative to Chromium-based browsers. This 'feature' sounds like a snippet, I always disable them via about:config and changing browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.snippets to false. Also disable Firefox studies and telemetry, for more Firefox privacy and security settings check this guide.

Ease of use matters... I don't have all day to spend trying out and installing random 3rd party software that's probably full of rootkits and whatnot and also won't be supported in 2 years. Plus the alternatives also suck for the most part. Chrome works the best, but has the worst intrusiveness. Firefox works ok but has medium intrusiveness, but the agenda pushing is annoying

Tarrock · 2021-01-09T18:54:04+00:00

Honestly almost enough to make me quit firefox forever.

This is the most pathetic thing I've read in a long time. "This is dystopian! Bbbbbbut, I'm still going to support them!"

Tarrock · 2021-01-09T18:53:01+00:00

Why are people still using firefox?

magnora7 · 2021-01-09T18:39:42+00:00

Firefox today had a message that popped up at the bottom of a new tab browser window, saying "The president has used disinformation for the last 4 years to get us to where we are today. How can we prevent this going forward?"

Just absolutely dystopian at this point. Media basically re-writing history to give themselves more control. And Firefox happily agreeing. Honestly almost enough to make me quit firefox forever. That and it's not compatible with a lot of games, it's kind of a bad browser tbh

1)Enter "about:config" in the firefox address bar and press enter.

2)Press the button "Accept the Risk and Continue" [FF71+] or "I accept the risk".

3)Copy and paste each of the preferences below (for example "webgl.disabled") into the search bar, and set each of them to the stated value (such as "true").

browser.sessionstore.privacy_level=2

This preference controls when to store extra information about a session: contents of forms, scrollbar positions, cookies, and POST data.

0 = Store extra session data for any site. (Default starting with Firefox 4.)

1 = Store extra session data for unencrypted (non-HTTPS) sites only. (Default before Firefox 4.)

2 = Never store extra session data.

network.cookie.cookieBehaviour = 1

Disable cookies.

0 = Accept all cookies by default

1 = Only accept from the originating site (block third-party cookies)

2 = Block all cookies by default

Tell me if it works. Typing on phone atm so formatting might be fucked.

Will uBlock Origin block this as well? Or do I need to make another "autoconfig.js" hack?

ElifromtheBook · 2020-08-15T01:52:47+00:00

Never leave home without it. Thumbs up.

JasonCarswell · 2020-08-07T17:58:08+00:00

I don't know about the percentage but it's no secret that they fucked up Firefox since v56 or earlier - and I'm quite certain they've all infiltrated everything else opensource too.

Why?

Because it's effective. I quit Firefox after v56 and moved to Vivaldi and then Brave. I'm ready to try some of the other Mozilla-based alternatives, further down on the list: https://alternativeto.net/software/firefox/

JasonCarswell · 2020-08-07T16:56:27+00:00

They admitted it a long time ago.

m68k · 2020-08-06T22:11:52+00:00

FYI, I figured it out. There was a hidden setting I had to manually add.

Add "ui.systemUsesDarkTheme" with a number value of "1". Instantly, you'll get the dark theme. :P

d3rr · 2020-07-25T18:07:37+00:00

Another ADL campaign. They have control of most of the internet it seems.

JasonCarswell · 2020-03-21T18:05:45+00:00

I don't get too many email notifications from Firefox, but this one seemed noteworthy.
