There will always be alternative privacy-preserving browsers.

Been hearing no shortage of bad press about Mozilla recently with regards to privacy, but I have not really dug into the allegations.

Does anyone know if there is any truth to this stuff, or is it yet another attack on privacy? Afaik Mozilla and the EFF are among the few fighting the good fight.

This story is about a new default setting in the browser. I recommend reading it and drawing your own conclusions. Firefox is a great browser but I don't like this decision personally. Mozilla could do better but I don't think they are the enemy.

There are other good options though.

LibreWolf and Mullvad Browser are both good alternatives that are based on Firefox. Brave is a good Chromium based option.

Yea I'd stop using Mozilla and Chrome...

Anybody know how private Brave is? It's my number one browser for the past couple of years.

I never liked Mozilla. Just used it, may be before 10 years and that too for downloading big files.

Mozilla is a company and they are there for profits. It's not NGO or Open Source. So to think that they care about privacy is a false belief in itself ..

While Firefox may not be as privacy-focused as it once was users concerned about these changes can take steps to enhance their privacy within Firefox or consider alternative privacy-focused browsers. It's always advisable to stay informed about your browser's features and settings, regardless of which one you use.
