Klar has telemetry disabled by default, Focus has telemetry enabled by default.
About:config is disabled in both, so you cannot change anything that is not available in the settings.
It is an official version of Firefox, not a fork. It generally does not break things as it is basically Focus without telemetry.
It is not comparable to Mull (rip) or Ironfox
IronFox is my default now, after Mull. The question is not to compare the two browsers, but just the approach.
I need a second "delete data on quit" browser with JavaScript and cookies enabled for the obligatory official sites :/
Focus and Klar are basically the same, except for the telemetry. Iirc Klar was created because having telemetry would possibly run afoul of some German data privacy laws.
Klar would be the pick of the two. You could also use a different fork that you used like focus where you set it to only use private browsing and delete data/cookies etc on quit.
installed it after your previous comment and it's, like you wrote, basically Focus.
netGuard shows that Klar is constantly trying to connect to firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com & bc.googleusercontent.com
i guess it's for the "Phishing and Malware Protection" 🤷
Yes, that should be it. Firefox runs its own version of SafeBrowsing, but it falls back to Google if it sees something that is not in its database. Then it sends a hash to Google to check it.
Waiting for its ios port. Otherwise, sticking with Firefox Focus
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.
