Mozilla has just deleted the following:

“Does Firefox sell your personal data?”

“Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise. "

We just want to be left alone. FFS.

👀

just.. ..wow

Wait what? I have whiplash.

Wut 😱

What browser are we using now? :(

zen & nightly, both firefox-based. rest of the decent options are chromium-based. once you start looking into it, you quickly realize how few options we really have when it comes to browsers.

I have used Nightly before when it was still actively being developed a few years back. Miss the days when ice fox and water fox was life.

How do we build a better browser for Web 3.0?

Where the chill devs on NOSTR @

How does this affect TOR network being that it’s Firefox based?

TOR is not firefox based.

it’s not really firefox itself, it’s mozilla. zen is also firefox-based, but they have their own policies.

The Tor NETWORK is a decentralized system of servers (nodes) that routes your internet traffic through multiple layers of encryption to protect your privacy and anonymity.

It's not a browser.

The **Tor Browser**, which is the most common way people access the Tor network, is built on Mozilla Firefox’s open-source code.

Uses a modified version of Firefox’s Gecko engine and is hardened with additional privacy and security features.

The Tor Project team customizes this Firefox base to integrate it with the Tor network, adding things like the Tor protocol, proxy settings, and anti-tracking measures that vanilla Firefox doesn’t have.

So, while the Tor Browser is derived from Firefox, it's not even close to being the same thing.

Google wants ROI. What now? Librewolf or Brave or...? 🤔🧐

Ladybird can't come soon enough...

agreed.

you're joking right?

-not for mobile

-c++

-becoming a compilation of other browsers now that "we're not bound by SerenityOS restrictions anymore, hooray!"

ALPHA expected summer 2026

this is a hot mess, stay away

this has been since forever almost... if Googl$ funds it, don't touch it. You can go into about: config, type in telemetry and scrag all the entries but it is no guarantee.

#IronFox is a de-Googled version available on Accrescent if you have GrapheneOS.

(if you run stock Android or iOS well... you're f#cked anyway at that point no matter which browser you use. Googl$ and Appl$ are #databrokers NOT tech companies )

Why tf are you typing Google and Apple like that

M$ Appl$ Googl$

It's the OG way to indicate that they are crooked #fiat corps that only care about money. Particularly M$ or Micro$oft but i do it for A$ and G$. This goes back to 90s era Internet, especially when Microsoft tried to take over with IE.

Why TF do you ask? 🙏😇🤙

#GenX words

I don’t know, it’s gay, schizo, and annoying

This looks like a cool new #rust based browser engine, would love to see it turned into a full browser app.

It is their choice to sell user data, just as our choice may be to leave them alone.
