    you’re lying to yourself if you think mozzarella foxfire does’nt collect data. They may use it in a different way, but they still collect data. You have to jump through a bunch of config to disable their telemetry, which most users won’t do.

      Firefox is the least evil as far as I know, given its non profit roots. Chrome is owned by google, Opera by a chinese company. Firefox is the closest we can get to a FOSS browser.

        Check out LibreWolf. Granted, anything you do to try to protect your privacy, nowadays, potentially leads to higher entropy: browser, add-ons, etc… It’s still better.

      You can see what they send by typing about:telemetry into your URL bar.
      Innocuous stuff, in my opinion.
