The browser disables firefox telemetry and Pocket by default.

easily3667 ( @easily3667@lemmus.org ) English1•15 days agoThat’s disinformation. They hired the waterfox guy a few years ago but mostly left him alone.

HotCoffee ( @HotCoffee@lemm.ee ) 7•16 days agoFiredragon is great. Have been running Garuda Hyprland for a few weeks now (btw).
For the ppl that don’t know Firedragon is Floorp that mirrors LibreWolf configs. So hardened Floorp.

paequ2 ( @paequ2@lemmy.today ) English3•15 days agoAs far as I know it’s telemetry off and no pocket, plus container tabs. But for the most part, it’s pretty similar (which I personally like).

Parptarf ( @Parptarf@lemm.ee ) English3•14 days agoLong time Firefox user, but I’ve been considering trying Waterfox or Librewolf.
Any reason they would be better than FF running Ublock?
Both Librewolf and Waterfox are harden forks of Firefox without the telemetry. Yes Ublock would work.
Parptarf ( @Parptarf@lemm.ee ) English3•14 days agoSounds like Librewolf is going to be downloaded and set up to give it a try tonight.
That’s a good choice as it’s community-ran and they use codeberg.
