@itsfoss Daily driver for years, no plan on changing that. Works great.

@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.

@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.

@rustbuckett @opensourceopenmind @itsfoss I have never heard of these browsers.
@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.
