Currently trying Librewolf out. It still makes some connections to Mozilla even though it claims not to.

Librewolf had some dev sperg out last year or the year before. I'm now window shopping too. I am using betterfox which to me is just a bandaid.

all data gets sold to third part data brokers, adds to your usage files, bought by government to proctor you.

Don't they all do that?

Had problems with brave. Switched back to Firefox yesterday for fucks sake.

Pretty close to completely omitting tech from my life.

Try Waterfox. It's basically the same.

firefox has got me over a barrel with all the add-ons I have. 36 installed rn, plus all my bookmarks.

All these browsers are probably jew-usurped, even the ones that say otherwise. isreali intelligence agencies already own the big VPN companies.

what addons are you using? I just use ublock origin, umatrix, bitwarden, tridactyl (for vim-like navigation), and copy-as-markdown.

mostly small ones like "Load Background Tabs Lazily" "snap-links" "web-wide dark mode"

more involved ones like "External Application Launcher", "Unhook youtube" "Copy page title and URL"

I use autohotkey in conjunction with some of these to bulk process things and I am very lazy to re-do everything on a new browser and there's a risk those same add-ons don't even exist there.

Cool, its always interesting what paths others have chosen. Recently I've realized I need to re-assess my setup, I've been running multiple separate instances of firefox in firejail sandboxes to isolate them, one for banking, jootube, etc. Then they introduced containers in firefox which I never made use of.

Now my problem is I have multiple machines and I'd really like to sync all the browsers, but it sounds like firefox-sync doesn't yet support container settings. And I don't know if its wise to trust mozilla with being in charge of containers and syncing all data.

Maybe I should just keep doing what I'm doing, and "push" instance data to a central source of truth on a manual basis from time to time.

It sucks that firefox is pozzed now, now I've gotta figure out that OpenSnitch bandaid, or find another browser. Yay, even more tech-debt burden on us. But we knew firefox was pozzed ever since they fired their CEO for supporting traditional marriage and they gave away money to antifa.

I'll say this: I've noticed that when I come here that Firfox will do some kind of auto download. This is the only place it happens. I delete it immediately when I catch it

I'd be interested to see what that is.

An application-aware intercepting firewall, OpenSnitch, can defeat such data collection. It intercepts all traffic from any network facing program and checks with the user whether it should be transmitted or not.

Even if you use stock normie Firefox as it comes straight from Mozilla, an intercepting firewall can be used to block connections Firefox attempts to make with anything other than the site you're visiting.

It's good. That's how I knew Librewolf was still sending stuff to Mozilla. I have some trouble with snitch and file shares so it's not perfect but it's about time Linux had an application based firewall.

Local instances of DNS filtering like PiHole help as well. I think I'm just going to block all of Mozilla at my network firewall, the browser never needs to talk to them at all.
