How is anyone NOT using @mozilla #Firefox by now? Between this and intentionally slowing #YouTube traffic for Firefox/uBlock users, #Google is officially evil. Please support an #open #decentralized non-profit #Internet !https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/11/google-chrome-will-limit-ad-blockers-starting-june-2024/#tech #Technology

@tilvidsYes they’re targeting uBlock, no they’re not targeting Firefox per se. Edge users also report this issue. How about just boycotting YouTube?

@tilvids @mozilla And if we could just get mozilla to actually turn off telemetry when a user changes the setting, that'd be nice. I love #firefox and I'll never not use it. But the fact that I have to go into about:config to *actually* turn off the telemetry, that's kind of shady. Not nearly as shady as #google is, no, but it's not complete transparency.

@tilvids @mozilla I will gladly use Firefox if I can find out how to display the Mastodon advanced interface in narrow columns (like in my pinned post) instead of the wide ones I get only in FF, ffs.

@tilvids What's the point if Firefox is going to implement Manifest V3 anyway down the road?I guess you forgot that Mozilla's primary funder is you guessed it, Google.

@thelinuxfraud @tilvids @mozilla Are you saying the settings in the Preferences -> Privacy & Security don't actually do what they say they do?Or is there some other thing that gets sent besides this?

@smallsees I'm not 100% certain if it's this telemetry or not, but they sure as hell have a lot more telemetry enabled than just those options. If you go into about:config and search for 'telemetry' then you'll see a bunch of telemetry enabled. They even have telemetry that tells them if the user has turned telemetry on/off.

@tilvids @mozilla I mostly use Firefox, but sometimes I use the DuckDuckGo browser.

@thelinuxfraud telemetry _gathering_ isn't necessarily bad. it's telemetry _uploading_ that you should be concerned about. what do you see in `about:telemetry`?@smallsees

@smallsees without tweaking any settings, Tor Browser says:> Telemetry is collecting pre-release data and upload is disabled.I don't know about you, but I trust the Tor config.
