Firefox Now Sends Your Address Bar Keystrokes to Mozilla
blank.comFirefox now sends more data than you might think to Mozilla. To power Firefox Suggest, Firefox sends the keystrokes you type into your address bar, your location information, and more to Mozilla’s servers. Here’s exactly what Firefox is sharing and how to control it.
people who hate firefox are eating it up. it’s so stupid
I love Firefox but it’s still true
What is true?
These people are all mostly either from closed source Chrome clone camp or are Brave BATshit lovers. Some of them may be from GrapheneOS toxic racist community as well, who always cry about Tor adopting Firefox as base.
After a lot of regular Firefox users got converted into above due to BLM political whining (because white lives matter) and some actually sane criticisms regarding default Proton UI (which are changeable via userchrome.css), an atomic sized portion of people is left sticking with Firefox, like me. I have been a user since Firebird days.
I have a lot of legitimate criticisms regarding their aligning with the NSA spy company Apple, and the (default) Cloudflare DNS option for DoH (that led to the idiot nextbern giving me a 6 month ban on r/firefox because he got pissed by downvotes he got), as well as their greedy CEO and her bunch of PR and HR minions. What Firefox has though is Tor upstreamed security benefits, and a customisable user.js and userchrome.css, and extensions that are not crippled by Manifest V3 changes, or any of the FLoC or IdleDetection API spyware.
