Is there a list anywhere of this and other settings and features that could/should certainly be changed to better Firefox privacy?
Other than that Iām not sure Iām really going to jump ship. I think Iām getting too old for the āclunkinessā that comes with trying to use third party/self hosted alternatives to replace features that ultimately break the privacy angle, or to add them to barebones privacy focused browsers. Containers and profile/bookmark syncing, for example. But if thereās a list of switches I can flip to turn off the most egregious things, that would be good for today.
Just use LibreWolf; Iām not up to speed on this stuff but I more or less believe the hype that it will protect my privacy simply by taking Firefox and adding an ad blocker for me and disabling all the shit for me
IMO itās the option in Data collection called Marketing data. It doesnāt say itās PPA outright, but it sounds like the same sort of thing. ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Well shit. Firefox is still better because it doesnāt have the backdoor Google uses to catch and then block people using adblock on YouTube. For now.
Does Firefox explain what measures theyāve taken to protect their aggregation servers? If so, this is a perfectly fine and practical method for privacy preservation
Looks like they are using a Prio based protocol. If they are using Prio2+, I think this article is likely overblown. EDIT: I mixed up my sources - Mozilla tested Prio for telemetry collection. They are using a system called IPA for ads, and I donāt know whether there are formal guarantees for this system
