PSA (?): just got this popup in Firefox when i was on an amazon product page. looked into it a bit because it seemed weird and it turns out if you click the big "yes, try it" button, you agree to mandatory binding arbitration with Fakespot and you waive your right to bring a class action lawsuit against them. this is awesome thank you so much mozilla very cool

So, Mozilla adds an AI review features for products you view using Firefox. Other than being very useless, it's T&C are as anti-consumer as it possibly can be. It's like mozilla saying directly "we don't care about your privacy".

On desktop I've been using Librewolf, Mullvad Browser is good too. There's also some forks on Android, Mull and Fennec, of those I prefer Mull

Edit: Waterfox is another fork on desktop that had some controversy when bought by an advertising company, but they're independent again as of last year

Do the same browser plugins work on librewolf?

[-] Tick_Dracy@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Yes. Out of the box, it has uBlock Origin installed.

[-] communism@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

What would you recommend for Android?

Also, have you found anything that works well with Firefox Sync? I use Sync for my bookmarks but it doesn't seem to be able to sync with LibreWolf

I'd recommend Mull, it's pretty much Librewolf for Android

As for the syncing I'm not sure

Fennec

isn't fennec a 1:1 rebuild? I believe it still has everything turned on

[-] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

What even would be the purpose of such software?

[-] gnuplusmatt@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

rebuild for distribution on fdroid as not to violate trademarks

[-] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

It has some of the proprietary stuff and telemetry removed

Commenting to check these out later
