Firefox is just another US-corporate product with an ‘open source’ sticker on it.
Their version 128 update has auto checked a new little privacy breach setting.
If you still use a corporate browser, at least do some safety version! We mainly use @librewolf based on firefox. (yes, we know, a stable european or even non-US browser is still considered ‘futuristic’ in europe)
You’re going to be tracked regardless if this enabled or disabled. It doesn’t matter what web browser you use.
@9tr6gyp3
yeah yeah and everybody dies so love nothing, very edgy
@9tr6gyp3 @Lokjo Ok and? You’re going to die regardless of how many “life extending” snake oils you rub on your skin & no matter how healthy you are. Should you just rot away now or should you keep living? I think I should continue blocking ads & tracking, I benefit from blocking them by using less bandwidth & loading pages in a quarter of the time.
@9tr6gyp3 @Lokjo I realize this is a troll account, but I still think this is something that needs to be said because this is an argument I’ve seen people genuinely believe.
They can believe what they wish. This doesn’t add or reduce any advertisements that show up. This only gives advertisers anonymized data instead of advertisers using very invasive and possibly malicious methods of tracking. If they read any of the documentation for this, they could help themselves understand what its for.
@9tr6gyp3 Anonymous data is a myth & I also see zero ads. Adblock blocks ads from loading, or even being requested in the first place.
Source for how this anonymization is a myth?
@9tr6gyp3 I’m not responding to argue with you, I’m responding because these are things I’ve seen people be serious about, even though it’s clear you’re not. I think I’ve covered everything so I’m done. This was never to give you any attention, I don’t like trolls because they’re annoying, & your account looks like a bizarre mix of trolling & genuine interaction to me, like one of those Reddit kids you see screenshots of in quityourbullshit that doesn’t know other people can see their post history.
I know its tough to source something that says that this new Firefox anonymization tool for advertisers will individually fingerprint someone, but if you find it, please share it and I will gladly read through it.
Have a good day.
@9tr6gyp3 @Lokjo Web browser is one important part of a privacy environment
This wont make your browsing anymore private than it already is or not. This is just telling advertisers to back off and accept that this is the only data you’re going to get willingly, and its nothing that can fingerprint you individually.
