If you’re fed up with Meta right now, you’re not alone. Meta tracks you across millions of websites and apps and its business model relies on your data. If you want to limit Meta’s ability to collect and profit from your personal data, here’s what you need to know.
It’s not as simple as it sounds. In some countries it is only possible to do income tax online, and often these sites are full of spyware, telemetry and analytics from Google, Facebook and others
You might benefit from firefoxes Facebook containers extension that prevents cross site Facebook tracking :)
I do not agree with the security and privacy policies that Mozilla has adopted, I do not use and do not support the use of any Gecko-based browsers, extensions or anything else. I use virtual machines for every sensitive website I have to access, as well as VPN and DNS blockers. It’s a bit inconvenient but I’ve forced myself to adapt to modern dystopia
I know everyone downvoted you a ton but I’d be kinda curious to hear why you have such a strong preference for avoiding gecko, and what mozilla policies you take issues with
I kinda wonder if there’s a similar extension or functionality available for Chromium based browsers…
they downvoted my other post with an “?” for no reason , this place is become more and more toxic day after day. I plan to delete my account soon and hope this social media dies very soon
In my experience it’s been less hive-mindy than reddit was, but to be completely honest I think you kinda get out what you put in
If you approach things combatively, you’ll get combativeness. If you approach things with curiosity, I find you get openness and a willingness to engage with folks sincerly.
Not sure why you’d wish the death of a platform people are enjoying and that serves as a small escape from the broader corporate web, just because you personally didn’t like it.
I rather like it here, I’d be really sad to see this space cease to exist. It sounds like you’d be better served by going somewhere you like more instead of staying here and just spouting bitterness :(
I received downvotes for a simple question in another instance and I genuinely had good intentions, I was extremely friendly but all in vain. I’m not spreading bitterness, I’ve seen vague posts here saying the same thing I’m saying. This is how your community is dying every day. Good luck to you
I think it’s pretty fair to describe ‘wishing for the death of things other people are enjoying’ as spreading bitterness 😅
I’m sorry to hear you’ve had a bad experience in your time here. I hope you find somewhere you feel more at home, best of luck to you too
bye
Neat.
?
There’s many things I dislike about how Mozilla operates, they are however completely outweighed by the massive list of things I dislike about Google.
Seeing as the only realistic options for browsers use either Blink or Gecko as their engine, I’d much rather use Mozilla’s offering than contribute (even if ever so slightly) to Google’s monopolizing of the web.
