The Browser No One is Talking About

This makes me question the entire Librewolf project. If opinions are formed based on random YouTube creators, how can we trust any decision made on Librewolf?

I watched the video now, and while I get that the stuff said in it doesn’t make sense I fail to understand what made you assume that we form opinions based on youtube videos. if you want to know how you can trust the decisions check gitlab and see how everything is documented and researched properly.

The reply below from @opalraava@lemmy.ml, combined with sharing this video, is what makes it sound like opinions are formed from YouTube videos.

it’s a topic I hear more often so it’s not completely crap. Mental Outlaw, a much more serious Youtuber, also denounced ddg.

Meaning, a bit of information isn’t complete crap, if you hear it often from YouTubers.

well I’m not asking that you take my words for it:

https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/issues/111 -> analysis of a bunch of search engines privacy policies with pros and cons. yes I did read them all.
https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/issues/160 -> response to someone asking to remove ddg (which btw is and will stay as default).

I also don’t agree with the above video (and feel free to discuss in here why you also don’t), but don’t question the level of research without first checking.

The purpose of this thread was to check what the situation is, but it remained unclear even after multiple questions from @beta_tester@lemmy.ml.

This is certainly a better representation of the situation than provided by @opalraava@lemmy.ml. It looks like you were quite thorough in your comparison, which is great!
