Attn: #Firefox is Dead ️
It was killed by #Privacy braindead @mozilla
This morning I first learned via @mcc the astounding ad-horror opt-out, the latest #Mozilla no-no:

Attached: 1 image So this, from Firefox, is fucking toxic: https://mstdn.social/@Lokjo/112772496939724214 You might be aware Chrome— a browser made by an ad company— has been trying to claw back the limitations recently placed on ad networks by the death of third-party cookies, and added new features that gather and report data directly to ad networks. You'd know this because Chrome displayed a popup. If you're a Firefox user, what you probably don't know is Firefox added this feature and *has already turned it on without asking you*
Mastodon (mastodon.social)
When I checked my own settings I was still on version 127, but noticed other opt-out privacy settings had gone by unnoticed.
I manually unchecked "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" and "Allow Firefox to make personalized extension recommendations".

@smallcircles
Librewolf, Floorp or Mullvad Browser are probably your best bet, all modify Firefox to remove the bs and fix up privacy, there's also Fennec and Mull on mobile for a similar sort of thing,
If you absolutely must move away from the Firefox base entirely there's Epiphany which is based on webkit
In the long term the Servo browser might end up being a good replacement, but still in an alpha state -
