@ploum Or work to cripple the telemetry and undesirable features of Chrome. Firefox is introducing functionality where the browser silently disables plugins/extensions on Mozilla-specified sites.This makes me feel that "just use FF" isn't exactly a panacea. It's a choice of overlords. 5 comments
 @damnitjanet The very own purpose of propietary software is to prevent third parties from removing undated "features", including marketing spyware, or adding needed features such as anti-tracking google is pushing DRMs into web in order to prevent ad blockers from working… which is a huge problem… much worse that all the shitty things Mozilla foundation has ever done (which is a long list…) @devnull Thank you for acknowledging my point. I'm not looking to get into a "this is better than that" contest. As I said, it's a choice of overlords. I'm well aware of Google, and indeed, work on a daily basis to make their BS work less. I'm also pretty familiar with software, too. Have a great day. @damnitjanet @devnull you're right, FF introduced this new 'feauture' in version 115. but you're able to disable this by running 'about:config' and set since then, no addons are filtered, that's the opportunity in FF to configure it your style @vanessacardui That's useful info, thank you. Truth told, I use both browsers. I just fscking hate it when I get someone up in my mentions trying to explain things to me I'm deeply aware of already. 😉 |

@damnitjanet So you're complaining because Firefox, is indeed, unfortunately, not safe by default, although it can be made safer… The "functionality" you're mentioning can and must be removed
But you're OK with making people work for free just to maintain google's monopoly, and get an imaginary "safety" by working "to cripple the telemetry and undesirable features of Chrome"… which cannot be achieved anyway, because by definition, users have no control over proprietary software…
