Does anyone here not opt out of the telemetry data that Firefox collects by default? (lemm.ee)

I am just curious because I had it off for a long time but have recently started to opt back in because I am too lazy to report every single bug I encounter when browsing the web but I do want to see Mozilla improve Firefox.

Yes. 100%. When I'm browsing the internet I don't log into anything. Mullvad browser is perfect for that. On Mac and Linux this is very easy to do. You can set it as your default browser.

On Windows you have to go through some hoops to set mullvad that as your default browser, but I'm sure the team is going to come out with an official solution

If there's something going to be logging into recurrently then I use un Google to Chrome and make a specific profile for that sit

How does it compare to librewolf?

Mullvad browser

  • automatic updates
  • follows upstream patches quickly
  • based on Tor browser bundle, includes arkenfox features

** This means the browser works really hard not to write any state to storage

** it tries to be very ephemeral

Librewolf:

  • manual updates
  • A bit slower to patch
  • based on upstream Firefox, but includes arkenfox features

Both are good choices.
