Fr, people need to stop the lies that firefox itself is a privacy respecting browser, which it isnt- not since it was bought out years back.
LibreWolf and Mullvad are great examples of Firefox Forks that are ACTUALLY privacy focused browsers.

Seriously, I swear I get temporarily blinded at night sometimes.
If you boil down every single aspect of information they possibly can gather on you to “analytics”- sure, however Discord got rid of the functionality to disable analytic data collection years ago iirc, and the button to ‘delete my information’ was removed around the same time- and replaced with the ‘request my data’ button.
But you should also know if you install it, it’s been claimed (I’m too lazy to look it up, I just know that I’ve read/watched a video about it years ago) that it collects data on what you do across your entire pc, to at least the same extent that microsoft’s default telemetry does. This is due to them monitoring your pc at all times so it can integrate with whatever game you are playing- of course.
I was going to ask “every platform is run by groomers and is infested by pedos?” but then I realized how close to true it is…
No sense in fighting the ‘everyone collects and sells your data’ point however, considering yes- they all do, but some do far far more harvesting than others…
Bro… look in the settings, they literally give you a button to request your collected data.

Not having ads? Lmao what? It literally spams you to buy nitro every chance it gets & it’s not exactly free- they harvest quite literally every single drop of information they possibly can about you.
Dont forget they also harvest quite literally every single piece of data they possibly can about you- and if you install their app they collect information on everything else happening on your pc as well.
Oh and the admins have been exposed as groomers and their platform is absolutely infested with pedophiles in general.
Cringe Anarchy, Frenworld, Clownworld, Consume Product, Coomer
Eh, its still massively less popular than it used to be before they banned porn, if something similar happens to Reddit, with it becoming a ghosttown in parts of it but still fairly active on larger communities- I’d still consider that a win against them.
I hope Reddit fully dies off- that site is a cesspool and deserves to meet a fate similar to tumblr & myspace.
My bad, bought out was the wrong way to word it- I should have said “Made partnerships with-” then listed Google and Yahoo(defunct), China and Russia.
If you watch this video discussing how privacy respect firefox is by default- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr8UFJzpNls you’ll see the telemetry they collect is miles long and Firefox is no better at protecting your privacy than Chrome/Chromium is whatsoever.
Definitely recommend Librewolf or Mullvad, which are actual privacy respecting browsers, even Chromium forks like Brave are better than default firefox.
