LibreWolf is just a fork of Firefox (one of many) which tries to improve its privacy features.
I am not asking anyone to use this, just merely offering an alternate option. Everyone who accesses the internet has used a browser. What makes a difference for the average user is the GUI and UX.
If you use vanilla Firefox and don’t tweak the settings, often your DNS will be resolved by either Google, Cloudflare or your ISP.
There is no perfect solution, only optimal ones.
many people here parrot the same things relentlessly. there is no issue with choosing firefox as your primary driver. every user here can decide on what they want for themselves.
i am offering other options as the suggestions in this thread (and threads like these) are homogenous.
Firefox has telemetry settings built-in which you can switch off. LibreWolf strips the telemetry options away and focuses on obfuscating your browser fingerprint.
for those who come and read through these comments, on top of considering not using a chromium-based browser, you could also:
you might be referring to the CSI Effect
At some point they made a decision to change from something else to Netflix, so perhaps they’re not afraid of change but might need a compelling reason to use a different service?
Could be an opportunity for you to educate them on what options are available and why that will benefit them long term.
i can see how that sounded! it’s a lightweight, browser-based rss reader.
i made a short script that scrapes my own feed and sends an email.
I often think this. I use a mix of reeder, feedly, vore, instapaper to see what I like.
However I look at my parents and they’ll use Apple News or whatever news source they trust in a browser.
Flipboard is used because it makes it easy for people to find aggregated information. What’s easier than something that already does the aggregation for you?
Often we take for granted things we consider to be normal. I would think everyone has uBlock Origin installed (i’ve used it for years) or something similar, but this is clearly not the case.
iOS doesn’t give many options to remove ads from YouTube videos. You can’t really circumvent the native YT app (at least in my experience). What’s worked for me for the past few years is:
I have not seen a single ad on iOS on YouTube this way. I’m pretty sure Vinegar is doing the heavy lifting specifically on YouTube but Wipr picks up the slack on every other website.
same here. nuked my lastpass account and switched everything over to bitwarden. their paid offering was worse from the competition and now i’m very glad i moved from them
pretty sure brazilians brush 3 times a day.
i just brush twice a day and floss + mouthwash at night on top.
it depends on what you consider self-improvement to be
one of my psychologist friends said a long time ago “if you don’t keep improving yourself, then what’s the point in living”.
you’re clearly already taking steps on self-improvement and personal introspection, which is probably one of the hardest things a human can do.
honestly you’re already kicking goals if you try and be a better person each day. No one can ask more of you.
this is true. however it can filter calls to ad services and block them at the dns level before they’re loaded in the browser
