This would be better for the DeGoogle community, I don’t believe any of these are terribly privacy friendly.

BBC’s iPlayer is only available in the U.K. (or with VPN) and has a lot of tracking. Just one example.

The mashable report is pretty much just a repost of the Verge article, which they cite.

Previously I would be waiting for but her emails… but I don’t think they give a shit anymore since they know they can get away with anything they want

Anon is highly regarded in his field

Is that related to Google bricking (and now releasing a patch) the older Chromecasts? Or is this a separate issue?

Just because you have not had a problem does not mean they aren’t behind on patches.

That’s good information. Like I said, I have not used it.

Doesn’t eOS use microG or something to get around that?

I have never used eOS because they are always behind on security patches, but I had always heard it worked Ok.

Yes, that should be it. Firefox runs its own version of SafeBrowsing, but it falls back to Google if it sees something that is not in its database. Then it sends a hash to Google to check it.

Focus and Klar are basically the same, except for the telemetry. Iirc Klar was created because having telemetry would possibly run afoul of some German data privacy laws.

Klar would be the pick of the two. You could also use a different fork that you used like focus where you set it to only use private browsing and delete data/cookies etc on quit.

Klar has telemetry disabled by default, Focus has telemetry enabled by default.

About:config is disabled in both, so you cannot change anything that is not available in the settings.

It is an official version of Firefox, not a fork. It generally does not break things as it is basically Focus without telemetry.

It is not comparable to Mull (rip) or Ironfox

My dog is a fucking libertarian, I can’t take his gun, so I lightened the trigger on my Glock for the cat. Cats got my back.

Thank you. I read through the page then scrolled back up to the “join” part.

It seems interesting, but the only way to try it is with Google, the links lead to playstore and accounts.google . The page also has Google fonts, and googletagmanager

Actually a pretty decent review.

There is this though

When evaluating browsers, I weighted privacy and security HEAVILY.

(Bolding is theirs, not mine)

Then the review page contains googletagmanager, Facebook, and mediavine. Which are all ad/tracking services.

I don’t agree with what they said, but everyone has opinions.

I know this is about desktop, but do not use ungoogled chromium for Android, it hasn’t been updated in years.

+1 for Seal, Newpipe and Tubular both work fine too

This could have been incompetence, or sabotage before it was left behind.
