WTF @librewolf - you had only one job and you are failing in it. "No telemetry" -> first thing Librewolf does is connect to Mozilla telemetry services.#librewolf #telemetry #cybersecurity

@OH3CUF Yeah, LibreWolf needs to jettison associations with Homebrew too.Homebrew enables Google analytics by default. Sending telemetry without even warning users to opt out, was a bad look, even before Google was convicted as a monopoly.I've mentioned the same thing to LadyBird devs on the FUTO funding YouTube videos.My comments, get removed. Not sure if that is due to FUTO being shady a.f. or YouTube being under the convicted monopoly umbrella, but it doesn't leave me with any warm fuzzy feelings aside from affirming that it appears as if the powers that be, are continuing to abuse theirs.Anyway, you've been warned.Maybe someone will do something about it?I've looked into creating MacPorts Portfiles for both LadyBird and LibreWolf, but couldn't get either project to build from source, which is kind of a prerequisite to making such things easier for others.Both projects are severely lacking when it comes to useful documentation for developers and package and port maintainers.I'm not exactly "new here" either, I'm probably one of the only people aside from jkh or Kip Macy who ever bothered to build NeXTBSD (basically FreeBSD with launchd, before TrueOS went for OpenRC) from source. Which, also basically had no documentation. At least in that instance it was very similar to FreeBSD, which has a rational build process with which I was already so familiar with I could basically do it without current build instructions.@librewolf

@wyat @librewolf MacOS Mail.app does this crap too. I have the option "do not load external content". What it does is loads content for emails when those arrive in my mailbox, in the background and which are classified as spam. Thanks to Little Snitch I noticed that.Yup, never ever trust anybody. This is absolutely bollocks :D

What I don’t get is why they don’t allow users to decide if they want to connect to Mozilla or not with an option in the settings. Libre means being free (to choose in this case), not being forced.

@smpl @corvus and if you want to be double plus sure, set domServer to “none” instead of the default wss:// address

@OH3CUF @librewolf I wonder how Mullvad Browser would fare in the same circumstance

@JP3REM @librewolf @JP3REM @librewolf Very badly. I killed the app after 9 requests by just opening the app (and nothing else) and it kept going on. Probably the connections to IP-addresses are Tor-nodes but who knows what they are? (can only attach 4 images in one toot).Same thing here; telemetry for Mozilla and for many plugin developers (I couldn't attach here but at least three call-homes for the plugins based on the server name).@mullvadnet

@OH3CUF @librewolf @mullvadnet Just to clarify, that's just opening the browser without any tabs or 'home page'?
