What's the best alternative? This doesn't sound great.....

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 hours ago

I’m switching to Librewolf. I don’t want ads in my browser.

anyone up to date on how servo has been doing?

This seems like a great time to install LibreWolf.

Yes, but even more important to avoid sync with an Mozilla account, if you need the sync function (maybe Filen?) (Vivaldi has an own sync EE2E)

I just switched to Bitwarden for passwords

That's the best free option, and possibly best option overall. I've been with them for about five years now and it's been great.

AFAIK the sync is end to end encrypted

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Yes, Mozilla sync is encrypted, but your account data is sended to Alphabet (Google) and tracked by googleanalytics and google-tagmanager.

i think you can have it sync to a self hosted server, also an option.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

You can, but the last time I did that the instructions were incomplete, and you still had to auth through Mozilla. That was a few years ago, so things might have changed since then.

Firefox sync is E2EE too (or at least can be, mine is)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

And Firefox is no longer my browser. Tada.

do you mean you use a more privacy oriented fork like Librewolf, or instead some chrome/chromium derivative or fork?
