Damn. So, assuming it’s true, what would be a suitable alternative? Is Firefox compromised or nah?
Even if Firefox were compromised by megalomaniacal shitheads, it would still be worth picking over any Chromium-based browser because every Chromium-based browser helps cement Google’s hegemony over web standards.
FF has problems of depending on Google for money
Firefox is definitely a better browser than Brave (which has a history that’s riddled with controversy), but there are a couple forks of it that intentionally make it more private too.
But for practical purposes, installing Firefox and disabling Telemetry is more than acceptable for the average person!
Thanks a lot for the tip!
Librewolf & Waterfox are hardened firefox
