Read the Pocket and Mozilla FakeSpot privacy policies. They collect a lot if data, including browsing history, and do so via Google Analytics. They then share that data with advertisers.

Taking other people’s creative works to create your own for-profit product is illegal in every way except when AI does it.

No, actually its completely legal to consume content that was uploaded to the internet and then use it as inspiration to create your own works.

Because Mozilla takes a metric shitload of your data via fakespot such as (but not limited to)

Internet or other electronic network activity (e.g., browsing history, search history, information regarding an individual’s interaction with an internet website, application, or advertisement, and online viewing activities)

https://www.fakespot.com/privacy-policy

And then sells it to advertisers

apt remove firefox (or via pacman, windows settings etc)

Otherwise should be a bunch of flags you can set in about:config

Lol who the f trusts Mozilla nowadays?

Just a snippet of the privacy policy. There’s other bad stuff too like location tracking. It’s also all ran through Google analytics.

So much for a privacy respecting Mozilla

Same reason why they serve Lemmy instances despite illegal content on Lemmy: section 230 of the DMCA

Grayjay seems to fix things real fast, been using that a lot lately

Anything on the signal protocol could have an infected cilent be delivered, or backdoor server side by providing the wrong keys.

Facebook might comply. Would guess that Signal would refuse and would be hit by some absurd fee like 100mil a day for not complying and be forced to pull their services out of the UK.

We also share aggregated, non-personal data and related usage information, which does not contain any personal information which can identify you or any other individual user, with third parties, including content providers, website operators, advertisers and publishers.

… and they’re tracking your searches, collecting massive amounts of telemetry, and using pocket that collects and sells your data.

Totally agree, unfortunately it’s a question of whether Chromium forks can’t keep up with cutting out Google stuff comes before or after Mozilla and/or their rendering engine falls apart.

Fingers crossed for Ladybird + Servo

Some browsers have built in adblock (by reimplementing mv2 apis or otherwise) and cut out the hangouts plugin or let you disable it

Not all, but a couple

A custom user.js might be a good base to work off of. For example https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox

But jumping ship might be your best bet. Forks like Librewolf are good or otherwise a privacy respecting Chromium browser can work well too.

I would absolutely download a car 😆

They probably communicated news of the phase out though fax

I mean if they’re gonna give money without demanding anything I’m sure no complaints from the devs.

Shopify or an exec there might find some value in avoiding Google owning the web, could maybe bring goodwill for the company, or they could just be looking for a write off.
