Mozilla has just deleted the following:

“Does Firefox sell your personal data?”

“Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise. "

Here's the forum discussion on including Librewolf as a recommended browser:

https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/librewolf-browser-firefox-fork/148

It's quite long as the topic has been open since 2022; all other posts about Librewolf are closed by mods and the discussion is redirected here.

Thanks. I looked through this and a few threads. It seems like they did lose a key member. But it also seems like they've kept up with Firefox security updates, which is the most important part. It's still concerning though but it seems perfectly fine to use. What do you think?

As for mullvad browser, like i said, I'd use that but unfortunately I can't use DoH which is rhe default in that browser. It will bypass my network filtering.

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.
