@itsfoss firefox (hardened, fucked ai)

-
@rustbuckett @AAKL @itsfoss Note that privacytests.org only tests the **default** browser settings (so, a clean installation.)
- Which, nobody in the real world actually uses...
@Kdude @rustbuckett @AAKL @itsfoss Actually good defaults are important because non Techy users are just going to stay on Chrome instead of tweaking configs, installing extensions, changing seach engines, etc.
-
@rustbuckett @itsfoss I haven't seen any advertisement on it yet.
@danish_akhtar7 @rustbuckett @itsfoss Brave ads are disabled by default. Ad blocker and non Big Tech search engine by default. There's no other cross-platform Open Source browser that does this.

@terminaltilt @yoasif @itsfoss Just see the amount of trackers they embed

Oh, you're right! Privacy Badger lit up with a ton of stuff it is blocking.

@b1_66er @Kdude @rustbuckett @itsfoss Chrome is a browser. Chromium is a browser engine. It was made by Google, but it's open source and has a no-google option and more privacy. Some of the browsers in the chart are Chromium-based.

@opensourceopenmind @itsfoss @danish_akhtar7 Zen Browser? Librewolf?

@opensourceopenmind @itsfoss @AAKL @Kdude True. And you can only educate people that want to learn.

@opensourceopenmind @itsfoss @danish_akhtar7 Zen Browser? Librewolf?
@rustbuckett @opensourceopenmind @itsfoss I have never heard of these browsers.

@rustbuckett @AAKL @itsfoss @Kdude That's a good point at the end. It used to be more work to invade someone's privacy. And like income, awareness hasn't caught up to modern times.
It's a touch less about apathy, and a touch more about being unable to comprehend how dangerous any given stance is.
I'm certainly not immune to it and I'm just another nobody online.
@wolfkin @Kdude @itsfoss @AAKL I've been thinking more about this. The argument that "I don't have anything to hide" fails when you now have something to hide but your privacy has already been compromised. Now it's too late.
Furthermore, the persons or people invading your privacy (government, bad actors, etc.) will exploit the data. And if it's the government, we've now seen how quickly your data can be turned against you.

@danish_akhtar7 @opensourceopenmind @itsfoss Oh. They are both built on the Mozilla engine and are privacy focused. I'm just now trying Zen and I very much like it.

@rustbuckett @wolfkin @Kdude @itsfoss What the people who "don't care" about privacy don't understand and don't care to understand is that online privacy invasions have been so refined that they have become far more insidious over the years, and more so in the age of censorship and autocracy. This is no longer about analytics. It's stalking and behavioral profiling - and keeping tabs. I feel sorry for people who are content to be someone else's product. And yes, it's hard to break away from this vicious cycle, but every little action helps reclaim a part of you and sends a message to the dumb companies doing this.
