I use Waterfox because Firefox actually does steal my data but Waterfox doesn't.

Honest questions: what data does Firefox steal and why Waterfox over others like Librewolf?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Firefox has telementary on by default which you can easily disable in settings.
And imo waterfox is worse than Librewolf as it was sold to system1, a advertisment company

Librewolf lags very far behind in staying up to date with security patches. Use regular Firefox hardened with Arkenfox’s user.js

Waterfox was sold to system1, an advertising company. It also doesn’t immediately release patches that are released in upstream Firefox.

Use a hardened Firefox with the Arkenfox user.js
