@andersamer @KantexArt @thomasfuchs They already pushed the intrusive "Web Environment Integrity" API (DRM) to chromium. As soon as I heard that I switched to Firefox @Mattstamatic @KantexArt @thomasfuchs Wait fr?? I read a tweet that said that they weren't planning on doing that. Where can I read more about this? @andersamer @KantexArt @thomasfuchs Here's the GitHub changes: https://github.com/chromium/chromium/commit/6f47a22906b2899412e79a2727355efa9cc8f5bd Looks to be for Android @Mattstamatic @KantexArt @thomasfuchs Wow. I did not know about this. Thanks so much for sharing. I can only assume that they plan to eventually roll out these changes to desktop. I guess the main reason I have wanted to stick with Brave is because of its anti-tracking features. However, I'm probably underestimating Firefox's capabilities in that regard (uBlock origin can probably do the bulk of the work anyways). Highly considering switching now. |
@KantexArt @thomasfuchs From what I've heard in the past, all of Google's bad data practices don't ever translate over to browsers like Brave, but I never know for sure. I also fear that since Google owns Chromium, they may one day force companies that build browsers on Chromium to collect certain data/breach the privacy of their users.
