Fr, people need to stop the lies that firefox itself is a privacy respecting browser, which it isnt- not since it was bought out years back.

LibreWolf and Mullvad are great examples of Firefox Forks that are ACTUALLY privacy focused browsers.

Bought out? Firefox was never bought out by anyone. What are you talking about?

My bad, bought out was the wrong way to word it- I should have said "Made partnerships with-" then listed Google and Yahoo(defunct), China and Russia.

If you watch this video discussing how privacy respect firefox is by default- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr8UFJzpNls you'll see the telemetry they collect is miles long and Firefox is no better at protecting your privacy than Chrome/Chromium is whatsoever.

Definitely recommend Librewolf or Mullvad, which are actual privacy respecting browsers, even Chromium forks like Brave are better than default firefox.
