Nice propaganda, from those who wants people to stop using apps that they can’t control.

For me, leaving is a statement, and a personal reason. I don’t see how it could not be both? I don’t know anyone who trusts them. But shifting the powerbalance towards privacy and ethics, will never be a bad thing.

I don’t disagree… but we must keep the pressure up. I know I’ve helped a little more than 10 people leave FB and Google (and most of Microsoft)… A couple of them have left Apple too… It’s a slow, but steady movement. :-)

That’s just about numbers. Most sites will adjust, if enough users are turning away to another site that are less intrusive.

Sadly, though this is totally insane, it is by far, not the most insane happening in the US, right now…

And yet companies in Israel is DNA testing people from all over the world, building a huge database of very private information about all people in the world…

Well, it’s not that difficult to cancel a subscription…

I can’t see why it shouldn’t be. I have used it with touch screens. It works great. Remember that Android is linux too, and that really spurred the development in that area… :-)

I use 3 browsers on my android devices. All 3 on all of them. That’s Firefox as the primary, and then Firefox Focus, and Firefox Nightly.

In the primary Firefox browser, I use uBlock Origin.

I have no lag - so why you talk about “all foxes” here, I don’t really know. Maybe you do know that Google, Like MS, Apple and others, always try to make it harder to use anything else, than their solution?

There is, even though they are estimates. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2347683-online-adverts-estimated-to-use-as-much-energy-as-a-small-country/

Strange how so many, are so quick to anger towards Firefox. I have used it since Navigator, and I’ve always felt quite safe with it. I am in awe of a browser that not only competes, but also surpasses other browsers with a ton more money behind it.

Come on, ban ALL data collection for ads. This will be good for privacy, and for the environment. The internet will save enormous amounts on power and hardware.

I think it was about year 2000 +/- I was about 23 yrs old… I’ve tried a most of the big distros, and was using Ubuntu for the longest time. Now it’s Mint I use…

This would only make sense, if all people were baking with the exact same ingredients, in the exact same environment, with the exact same equipment. You know, like in a factory.

For households and the like, it makes sense to have a bit of variation, until you find the way that makes it perfect for you.

Every current politician in the world should be made to wear a badge, as long as they hold office, that says: “I stayed silent under the Genocide in Gaza!”

I think it’s important to remember de difference between being private and being anonymous. Signal IS private. It’s not anonymous. The same is true for many other apps/services.

Personally I like to be private. I don’t really need to be anonymous.
