I'm a long-time Firefox user and I just went in to check my privacy settings. I had previously denied them permission to do any tracking, and the update that installed last night did not override my choices. First thing folks new to Firefox should do is set their privacy settings. If you've previously blocked tracking those settings remain unchanged with the latest update.

@doug @Jennifer @hi_mayank OFC!

Also I can recommend using @torproject / #TorBrowser as main Browser which does set privacy as strict as can be...

@kkarhan @doug @Jennifer @hi_mayank @torproject tor browser as main browser is comically bad lol, its good for when u need ultimate privacy but it horrible for just degoogling, its only good if ur doing illegal activities and need to hide from the government.

@paragon @doug @Jennifer @hi_mayank @torproject

I sincerely disagree!

- Because I only use it for bona-fide purposes and we should normalize that!

Websites that work without #trackers, #cookies and #JavaScript are perfectly possible and we should normalize that again!

Seriously, there are few sites that don't work that I couldn't replace - yet...

Comments like yours can and will be weaponized to criminalize #privacy like #Tor, as @echo_pbreyer can confirm...

@kkarhan @echo_pbreyer Are you not worried about exit node security/tampering/tracking/logging? Most services are not hosted within tor (but should be).
