Deactivate from settings Have https always on, protection against tracking on strict, data collection and daily ping on off.

And that's it.

i mean it's just because you can grant websites location data and toggle telemetry.

Been using Libre Wolf, no issues so far. Fuck Firefox

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Does libre wolf have an android app?

[–] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

IronFox is the closest alternative. F-Droid repo here:

Dead link 😢

Do you have F-Droid installed? Not to pull a docker, but it is opening for me on 2 separate devices.

Fennec but I think it still shares some data

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Well, there seem to be some good safe alternatives. I am currently switching from Firefox to Vivaldi, for example.

[–] TheGreenWizard@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Isn't Vivaldi a chromium browser?

[–] Adiemus@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Hmm I didn't know that. I was looking for more data privacy. However, there seem to be good alternatives.
