Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic

  Librewolf is mostly a autoconfig file for Firefox (which is a Firefox feature). codeberg.org/librewolf/settings/…/librewolf.cfg I doubt implementation of terms will be optional.

  I’m checking right now, but it’s kind of unclear. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like Librewolf picks and chooses what to use from Firefox, yeah?

  I’m also looking into the TOR browser.

    All the forks pick and choose but features can be enabled or disabled, or removed entirely. Telemetry is always removed, whereas DRM or cookie settings can be turned off by default.

    If you want some kind of Tor browser without all the Tor thing, Mullvad has its fork too from Tor (like the fixed display as a rectangle to prevent fingerprinting).

      Mullvad needs to make an android version.

        absolutely, all these hardened firefox forks on android are just as easy to fingerprint as the original. if you try creepjs, they are unique and easy to follow between visits. mullvad browser is also identified even if you clean identity and restart, but it at least blends in with some others. interestingly, i found out that cromite on android can fool creepjs. every time you refresh, it’s back to 1 visits. it doesn’t blend in like mullvad, but it seems like a different unique visitor every time.

    It’s possible to disable the Tor from Tor browser.
