Browsers compared

  The link that supposedly proves Mozilla has “ceased caring about technology” indicates nothing of the sort.

  This whole article seems completely unhinged and untrustworthy.

  That guy again... I just repost what i commented last time:

  after looking around on that site, i deeply mistrust the original author about probably everything. using the search term "christchurch shooting was faked"
  and arguing that the search results attack conspiracy theories, which means that there is censoring going on - that does not fit my definition of sanity.

  e: ah, and the moon landing was fake and covid shots are evil. dudes, this guy is nuts, dont even take the time of the day from him.

  How are both Firefox and Chrome “High” for spying, when Firefox basically only sends diagnostic telemetry by default.

  Theres plenty of strong opinion in this dumpsterfire of a blogpost And very little in the way of facts.

  It doesn't take an expert to see that the blog's argumentation is absurd and extremely paranoid, if not outright conspiratorial.

  Wow, what an angry person. Absolutely dripping with seething rage.

  His definition of spying is very pragmatic and cares not at all about “why” the spying is done, only that it is done and how much. I still think what Mozilla does is far more benign that Google because Mozilla doesn’t use your data for direct profit. But I don’t necessarily disagree with his definition either, it’s a good one for making objective comparisons.

  It’s also worth noting that his tolerance of chromium is rooted in him wanting the current modern web to die in hell fire anyway so he cares little about Googles monopoly of it.

  I am though surprised that there aren’t any big Mozilla based projects around. I really would have assumed the Linux and Self hosting communities would be interested in a browser with cross device history etc but where the data is selfhosted and built from the ground up with FOSS principles at heart. Especially now that Mozilla has slowed down their technical development.

    Very good idea! Be the change you wanna see and fork firefox right now! :) or build something else entirely.

  not all telemetry is bad or spying

  source

  • Dispossessed@lemmy.eco.br ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    The only telemetry that is not spying is when they ask if the user allows it, on install, with the default being: no.

    Otherwise it’s all spying as far as I’m concerned.

      I’m not here to have the Fedora Telemetry discussion, but I think it’s not spying If the user has choice and control over what gets through if anything

    Telemetry, even if well intentioned, might end in the wrong hands (by a company acquisition, a data breach or a government request). And the data collected is probably enough to make cross referencing with other sources and identify you.

  How does Tor browser spy? Doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose?

  source

  • jet@hackertalks.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Using TOR Browser does allow you to bypass Cloudflare browser checks, but this is likely because they work together to help Cloudflare spy on people wanting to be anonymous, making TOR Browser a honeypot. This is further supported by the fact that the TOR Project deleted a ticket criticizing Cloudflare (MozArchive) - but left all other tickets alone, proving it was not because of a “pedophile attack”, like they claimed. I see no reason to use this browser, really, when PM can be configured to use TOR all the same, with all the other advantages.

      The tests are in a public github repo, it doesn’t seem like they’re hiding anything.
