@TheWorldRolledMe "LibreWolf also maintains an open WebSocket towards Mozilla's push server to check wether you have received push notifications from websites you have subscribed to."
An app that is developed privacy in mind should never connect to anywhere without consent.
Also, I really don't need any freakin' push notifications from websites. I'm not "subscribing" to anything - or never will. What is that even - I didn't know I can subscribe through Mozilla to websites. Weird.
~~Um… isn’t that what the screenshot is asking for? I’m missing the part where you’re being forced without consent?~~
Edit: I misunderstood the above screenshot. My apologies.
@dohpaz42 Nope, that is a screen capture from Little Snitch (Firewall) that noticed new outgoing connection.
I just realized that. My apologies.
