Valid concern as I use their browser often. From their FAQ (link):

I’m considering adding it to the alternatives list I posted. Can anybody else validate their privacy policy? Seemd ok but I’m a bit iffy regarding their use of telemetry. Maybe I’m overthinking it

Thank you. Something I would absolutely consider

Understanding the problems you’ve outlined, can the positive functionality of this platform be replicated? I mean, we’re on the fediverse (?) here and it’s a decentralized platform but it’s not geography close-knit. I think having neighbors talk would be a net positive for society but nextdoor obviously seems like it replicates the worst of social media

I’m excited for these to mature but they are still developing and would not recommend them for regular use

Oh for fuck’s sake! List of Firefox alternatives:

Windows/Linux/MacOS:

• Librewolf link
• Mullvad link
• Zen Browser link

Android:

• Iron Fox github
• DuckDuckGo? f-droid
• FOSS Browser? Codeberg link

iOS: ??

Womp womp

Neptr covered it better than I could’ve. I also added privacy badger though I’m not sure that does anything🤷

I’ve tested this on Debian and roughly:

1. Mullvad (default): A+
2. Librewolf (+setup): B
3. Librewolf (default): C
4. Firefox (default): D
5. Chromium (default): F

Not to discredit or counterpoint what you’re saying… But in some jurisdictions, that’s illegal. As an example, California RTA/RTF laws make it a requirement that some data should be deleted unless there’s a different legal standard requiring the data be kept. Enforcement? Who knows?

It took them 147 days to fix this?!?

You of all people, Ray

Roger. I’m leaning away from wifi

These are cool but I need something which will help my existing light switches too. I looked at aquara wall switches and they are nice but they seem to be around the $35-40 usd range

Ok. With Matter, I may consider cync again

I have looked at these and I am seriously considering them especially with newly-announced ZigBee compatibility… This is the trulyb"stealth" and I think cheapest option

Nope. These things are 5ish years old, Cync “direct connect”. I have a few Cync wifi bulbs and even 2 Bluetooth-mesh bulbs from wayyyy back

Ok. I also have the Sonoff 3.0 and it seems good so far. Might need to add that ZST to the cart
