Firefox needs a 180° turn to full privacy out of the box. (connect.mozilla.org)

Its the only thing making is a good choice, while people choose Brave, TorBrowser or Librewolf instead.

Come and join the discussion.

Firefox needs to have some courage. Get rid of all those fake funding by Ad companies. Block Ads and trackers by default. Actually. Dont use damn Google as that contract will run out anyways.

Chrome is the Google browser. Firefox simply offering nothing more (on the outside) than it.

What do you think? Do you use Firefox out of the Box? Or another browser?

Is Firefox blocking tracker by default?

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some. But it loads all the bullshit Javascript and doesnt have Ublock preinstalled.

Also the security mode is set to "useless" by default. I only know one site, ojogos.com.br a stupid popup ad-to-play website that wont run on secure Firefox settings

without javascript you can't use internet

You can use sites perfectly without facebook tracking javascript though...

Noscript is selective, thats the point

Totally true, thats the reason why Vanadium etc. are useless. No JS means nothing working often
