A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

MODERATORS
People have been up in arms for every new "flavor of the month" browser that boasts better security, or some new privacy thing, and Firefox not offering it. Also, the freakout about Mozilla enabling "ad-tracking" was wildly misunderstood and overblown by the privacy nuts, but started a slew of these "WELLFFDIDTHISTHINGBLETRRGGHWAAAHHHHHHH"
It's all overblown in my opinion.
"flavor of the month" ~browser~ Chromium
Well I would have just said Chromium then, but that's not what I said.
I think they meant that they are chromium based.
Yeah, I got the sarcasm. Just saying that wasn't my point at all.
If you've lost your entire user base except the privacy nuts, you should be very careful about your messaging because they're your only demographic left.
It's not clear who you are referring to. Privacy nuts seem to hate every browser that exists at the moment. I even see people pissed an Librewolf for one thing or another.
Fact of the matter is that the browser is less the problem, and the contents they consume are, yet people are unwilling to just stop interacting with the sites that cause their concerns. There's no way to win with everyone.
