Tell Mozilla to stop "improving " Firefox with changes nobody asked for, if the want to regain relevance. Personally, I refuse to use Firefox in it’s current state.
Brave already tracks their users on the browser level
AFAIK, in Brave data analysis is done on the client, but data never go to Brave’s servers. That’s hardly “tracking”. And it’s opt-in, if one wants pennies for reading ads.
Mozilla and Facebook are working together to improve one aspect of Facebook’s privacy
Pretty naïve statement, in my opinion. Mozilla should fight for the complete disruption of the ad-supported web, not pretending to “improve” it. Anyway, a sinking ship is a sinking ship…
What do you mean by “evil”? I use Namesilo, which includes " free" privacy whois and it’s overall moderately cheap but I’m unsure if this is what you mean or if they are considered somewhat shady.
I’m annoyed by Google’s omnipresence as a 3rd party and by lazy web developers. I block Google fonts with uBlock Origin anyway and if a website is unusable without them… Well, good riddance.
Same. I’ve been through many distros, and before Arch I stayed on Debian testing for quite a long time. I can say that for me Arch breaks due to updates waaay less often than rolling Debian.
SeaarXNG already has that
