Mozilla just bought Anonym, an Ad Platform.
You can't make this shit up.
I guess privacy fighters either die early or live long enough to use their privacy credits to acquire control over people's data and sell it out for "profit".

What browser can we now use?
Use Firefox but fine tune it
Don’t use forks
don’t use shit with no eyes on them or ones that will shit on your experience
Use what gets most eyes on the code and fine tune it.
Use betterfox
Is it on mobile?
On Android but running FF beta
I do like the NoScript extension for Firefox on my old Windows laptop however.
It's open source. GrapeneOS is based on AndroidOS without Google's tentacles. Tor Browser is a modified version of FireFox LibreWolf is anothet great privacy-first fork of FF. There's no need to bounce from FF forks. I haven't used their main browser as a daily driver for years. Maybe soon we will finally get GraphenOS Vanadium for desktop. It is by far the best browser for privacy and security on mobile.
Thank you.
Mull browser
I tried Mullvad browser and I really, really wanted to make it my default browser but too many websites just wouldn’t work.
Same here.
I switched from Mozilla to Brave some time ago.
Anything outside of regular Firefox will do, since they do a better job than what Mozilla does. Do not use ANY Chromium based browser under any circumstances, for you are COMPROMISED if you do.
They will live long and build fortresses of freedom
Mozilla has been dying since they started receiving money from Googl$ a long time ago.
- They don't listen to user feedback
- They use telemetry to track users
- They haven't been a privacy browser for a long time. You have to use a nightly on mobile and remove the tracking stuff manually and even then... who knows.
I gave it up for lent long ago.
it would be nice to see a new browser come but I'm not holding my breath. Until then, I am sticking with Cromite.
they also don't have a setting to not be nagged to enable DRM for shit like spotify also, which annoys me intensely
Exactly.
No browsers is safe. 3 engines left, all primarily developed by big tech companies. It's mpossible to make a new browser because of the obscene complexity of the web, the creation of a new web browser would be comparable in effort to the Apollo program or the Manhattan project. https://drewdevault.com/2020/03/18/Reckless-limitless-scope.html
Replaceable Nostr events could replace most text-based websites.
