@mcc this sort of stuff is the reason why I use librewolf

@bob @mcc LibreWolf is really good, I just wish I could relax the timezone masking... ah, well.

bob

@xgranade @mcc librewolf has really good build tooling that makes compiling from source a reasonable thing to do. you can have your own patches if you wnat

mcc replied to bob

@bob @xgranade In this situation (or in the situation where I use LibreWolf official builds for that matter) will LibreWolf contain the drm modules that would allow me to use (for example) Tidal on LibreWolf for Windows?

KDHofAvalon :HeartNonbinary: replied to mcc

@mcc Yes, LibreWolf has everything needed to play DRM media included, it's just disabled by default. You enable it in "Settings -> General" just like in Firefox

mcc replied to KDHofAvalon

@KDHofAvalon thanks. Can this module be integrated in a case where I compiled my own copy of LibreWolf?

KDHofAvalon :HeartNonbinary: replied to mcc

@mcc That, I don't know. I haven't had a need to compile it myself yet in my testing. LibreWolf is just a fork of Firefox though, so it it works there it should also work for LibreWolf

@xgranade @bob Yeah, this is the problem with using "privacy-conscious software". Privacy is not a very high priority for me. It's just the situation has got *so* bad that even I, a person who doesn't give a shit, is worrying about privacy

Xandra Granade 🏳️‍⚧️ replied to mcc

@mcc @bob One of the most fundamental aspects of privacy is autonomy — being able to choose how much you share, with whom, and how. Contrary to how most privacy-conscious software projects tend to see it, that isn't always "no information shared ever." I wish it was easier to tune and express autonomy instead of either just locking everything to zero or letting ad-tech run my life.

mcc replied to Xandra Granade 🏳️‍⚧️

@xgranade @bob Yeah. Actually, more than half of the time when I get angry about a privacy violation, the thing I am angry about is not actually the privacy violation but that the company doing the privacy violation *lied to me*. I want to be able to make decisions and have them be honored.

@mcc Same here. For example, I donʼt mind ads, but I donʼt like tracking. I block trackers, but not ads themselves. However, that will often bring up a big warning message asking me not to use an ad blocker. Um, I donʼt use an ad blocker, the site does! Just show me non-tracking ads, contextual ones are fine, just like what we had in the 2000s (when advertisers and publishers actually did better from online advertising!).

@mcc
I can relate to this. I honestly don't mind sharing lots of types of data. I would be happy to let my phone help track traffic or various devices report software issues or even let certain survey data get shared. In fact, my reaction to most asks to share data requests is "sure" except that I know it doesn't stop there. Since I can't control my data or share input on how I want it shared it just all has to be stopped.

"What do you have to hide" is what is always presented to me (and the answer from me is generally nothing)...... I don't understand why this is never turned around..... Why do the trackers seem to have TONS to hide? If corp/orgs have to hide these "features" then clearly they have a lot more to hide than I do.

@mcc @xgranade @bob go to the "librewolf" tab in the options and disable ResistFingerprinting. i'll admit it's not intuitive enough if you don't know exactly what rfp is.

@bob @mcc Isn't librewolf is just Arkenfox built-in?

bob

@eilidh @mcc no, it's an actual fork of the firefox C++ codebase

DELETED replied to bob

@bob @mcc doesn't seem like they're adding anything that can't be configured.
