Google warning you about Mozilla is just peak fucking irony
Isn’t that just because Firefox got access to location data because some site asked for it?
Yep. Like a map website…
commenting cus I also have the same question
Okay, turned it off. If a site needs my location it can ask me and I can politely tell it to fuck off unless it has a warrant.
Wait a second. You’re expecting Google to not FUD? Ha ha ha oh wow. I mean I didn’t actually expect them to do so, but yeah.
Wth is fud?
Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt. It’s more commonly used in crypto communities.

Forgotten the history, have we? I was referring to Microsoft’s tactics in the early 2000s.
Crypto bros have watered down the term and made it a laughing matter. They ruin everything they touch. Goddamn it.
Huh. I wasn’t even aware of it having that much of a history to begin with.
Oh the term has rich history! First used in modern tech sector sense in 1975 about IBM.

Expected, no. Surprised, also no.
Google: “Forcing us to divest Chrome could have impacts on our ability to support Mozilla and their high executive salaries as we own the space with Chrome.”
Also Google:
pot -> kettle
Explain?
Alright gang, what are some good open source Firefox forks available on Android and Linux?
Librewolf for Linux. And ironfox on android
On Desktop I use Zen Browser. On Android I still use Brave, but I’m considering switching to a non chromium browser there some time.
I moved from Firefox on Android to Brave recently because it was too often breaking sites or taking much longer to load. Firefox just added a report broken sktes feature to the app though so maybe I’ll go back. Be the change I want to see in the world and whatnot.

Hey guys, did you know?

The DDG app shows no 3rd party tracking attempts made by Firefox at all… So far…
Yeah. People can avoid all this nonsense by installing one simple app… Duck duck go browser.
You don’t have to use the browser. It just sits in the background quietly blocking tracking requests from other apps.
It’s absolutely horrifying on first use to see how egregious tracking is.
There’s also the PersonalDNSFilter which does the equivalent while being a tiny open-source app that serves only for that purpose and also somehow still not getting banned from the Google Play store or AdAway which also has this feature or TrackerControl or…
That’s not how it works. Apps cannot access the traffic of other apps, let alone decrypt it. There is no way DDG Browser does what you claim it does. They do not even claim that themselves.
EDIT: Unless, of course, it works as a VPN, which apparently it does.
It does in fact do what they claim it does, by functioning as a VPN.
You should probably try the app first before talking out of your ass.
Crazy that I’ve been downvoted for offering factual help, while the comment which is provably incorrect is up voted
I did have the browser app a few months ago, but didn’t see any such functionality. Of course, by working as a VPN that works.
It’s in the Settings, under “App Tracking Protection”.
I don’t even use the browser part of the app.
figured as much
They’re making shit up. I can assure you that the DDG app does in fact block trackers in other apps, by functioning as a VPN. Give it a try, it really does work.
well damn now i dont know who to believe <:p
If the app works as a VPN as well, then that works. I was not aware that the DDG browser does that.
deadass? I just use adguard
I use both adguard and the DDG app. You should be using both too.
I stopped my donations to Mozilla.
NnnnnoooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOO
Sigh
How about turning off data sharing in whole android… Google…
Either die a hero……
calyxos here I come
