A fantastic summary of the #browser #privacy situation. Covers many #Firefox and #Chrome/#Chromium forks, including #Librewolf, #Brave, etc. A few surprises in there for me. https://www.unixsheikh.com/articles/choose-your-browser-carefully.html
@jgoerzen I think this is unfair towards Mozilla Foundation. It takes many full time, well paid and highly skilled professionals to develop and maintain a modern web browser. And Mozilla is a nonprofit. They may have made mistakes in their struggle to be financially sustainable, but people always come with stones, never with workable solutions. The truth is, without Mozilla, there's no Firefox. And without Firefox, we are worst off. I also don't get the objections against DoH.
@hermogenes I pretty much agree with you, actually. I have used #Firefox for years and appreciated what goes into it, and of course their recommendation is still... Firefox, with changed settings.
That said, I've recently tried out #LibreWolf, itself a Firefox fork. And, wow. The privacy game is so much nicer out of the box; I need far fewer plugins and it's all just... working. Very, very impressed.
Re #DNSoverHTTPS (#DoH), I guess it's: who's your adversary? Sketchy wifi or CloudFlare?
@jgoerzen A little bit still about DoH.
After looking at the references, the whole issue just seems to be that some sysadmins are annoyed that it has become more difficult for them to filter, block and intercept without detection.
It's a protocol. So people don't have to use CloudFlare anymore than they already do. But honestly if I am ever in a network controlled by some DoH opponent, then probably the sysadmin is my adversary, not CloudFlare.
