Firefox? Aren't they just getting anonymous telemetry and setting the default search engine to Google? I know they changed their TOS in the past but how are they selling data?
Mozilla purchased an advertisement company and a fair chunk of the board of Mozilla are ex google.
are firefox forks better for now?
so they're not selling the data, they're using it internally.
Just like google and Facebook.
Yes, they hold the user data (supposedly its all generic, non-personally identifiable, and they dont build user profiles) and then have advertisers pay them to push targeted ads based on that data. This is how the tech companies make boatloads of cash - force advertisers to pay for a subscription to use the user data for targeted ads.
yeah except it still doesn't seem to work for mozilla...
I think this git diff speaks for itself.
It isn't a beauty but no it does not speak for itself.
Well...
Yeah but you can harden firefox
It's much better to just use a hardened fork like LibreWolf or Mullvad Browser from the start.
