Following Firefox Terms of Use, are you switching to another browser?

Jump

  • I tried to, but both Vivaldi and Brave had issues I couldn't get over and in the end I decided to have a time out by switching to Firefox ESR with custom policy and autoconfig.

    Whatever happens in April will probably take time to land on ESR so I will hopefully have plenty of time to adopt about:config changes or actually switch to another browser.

    I don't feel like switching back to LibreWolf, since I already used it ages ago and learnt to make my current setup with upstream Firefox, so it would be kind of pointless and what would I do at Chromium? Three months and ManifestV2 is permanently killed and what extension doesn't say to run better on Firefox? I have been observing at least uBlock Origin (manifest V2), Privacy Badger (v3 in Chrome) and NoScript (also v3) and I think at least GitHub discussions said they all have shortcomings on Chrome.

    • Is running Librewolf without disabling fingerprinting worth it?

  • You could move from privacy.resistfingerprinting to privacy.fingerprintingProtection and override the changes you want with privacy.fingerprintingProtection.overrides such as +AllTargets,-CSSPrefersColorScheme.

    I guess to enable Netflix you would have to enable DRM which is probably somewhere in LibreWolf documentation.

    For the available overrides, see https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/resistfingerprinting/RFPTargets.inc although you may have to guess what they do based on the name.

  • I haven't looked into it in ages, but as far as I know it's not available for Linux and it used to have concerns with Microsoft agreement resulting to it allowing all ads affiliated with Microsoft.

  • While Vivaldi isn't open source, but some source available after release, they do avoid the AI and crypto interests in their blog.

  • Ladybird considers gender neutral pronouns to be a personal political issue that has no place in their project in case that is worth a bigot warning for you.

    • Mozilla deletes promise to never sell Firefox data.

  • I don't have the money to pay for every project, but I would be fine with ads respecting my privacy. I don't understand where Anonym came from while EFF DNT policy has existed for ages and they could just have bundled https://www.eff.org/files/effdntlist.txt like the AdNauseam extension does and I have been using the list with uBlock Origin for ages without issues.
