Recently there has been controversy around Mozilla Firefox.
I’ve been looking for an alternative but really struggling, seems like every alternative has a downside:
-
Vivaldi: Uses some proprietary code and likely not doing much better on the user data side of things, also based on Chromium.
-
Tor: Uses Tor protocol and so is quite slow, my ISP would probably also think I’m a drug lord.
-
Fennec: Basically looks the same as Firefox but guessing less up to date, F-Droid has a warning about it’s using Mozilla services for tracking.
What are you guys using? Have you found anything good?
Brave and Vanadium remove the google telemetry. Next complaint?
If telemetry is the problem, the rational thing to do is to use a fork/build of Firefox without the telemetry, not support the Google monopoly or go for browsers that have had potentially problematic privacy policies for a lot longer than Firefox.
