>I use Firefox + uBlock Origin
Wasn’t Mozilla accused of selling data they collected from Firefox users?
Correct me if I’m wrong.
- seba_dos1 2y agoIt was overblown. It's just the paradox of when you present yourself as "the good guys" - people will hold you extra accountable for things that others easily get away with as nobody expects them to do better. Unfortunately, Mozilla tends to shoot themselves in their foot this way somewhat often.
- immibis 2y agoBeing the good guys is the only reason anyone still uses Firefox. If Mozilla doesn't want to be the good guys, we'll use one of their many forks that remove the bad guy code.
- derkades 2y agoEven with all the drama Firefox is still an excellent browser, definitely better for privacy and uBlock than Chrome.
- MyOutfitIsVague 2y agoThey removed wording in their FAQ saying that they wouldn't sell data. It's a subtle distinction, and may or may not make a difference depending on your perspective.
- nickthegreek 2y agoZen, LibreWolf, and Waterfox are privacy minded Firefox forks.
