Misunderstanding of legalese may have lead a lot of us down the wrong road.

    I’ve been using Firefox since its inception. I just want to wait until the dust settles before I decide what to do.

      Idk man, at this point I see the hope, but after watching a few videos today of deep dives into their leadership - I don’t have much hope for them anymore. Most of them come from data brokers and ad agencies, Meta, and other big tech. If it’s not today, it’ll happen tomorrow when the dust does settle.

      Looking at the PR where they literally removed “We will never sell your data” was pretty much the final nail in the coffin for me.

        I certainly understand where you are coming from. If time tells that they’re disingenuous then I’ll move to a fork or something else entirely.

            I’ve tried this route before, but honestly I don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze for the average person. There’s also almost no way to assess its effectiveness.

              I use Firefox as my daily driver, Vivaldi for spicier stuff and the Edge for work. I don’t want any concentrated source having all my history. This is simple internet hygiene.
