As long as Mozilla has a contract with Google, it will continue to share data with Alphabet Inc. Firefox or forks are OK, but only if you use it without the sync function, or use another provider that doesn’t share the data with others. Although Mozilla encrypts the synced data, the necessary account data is shared and used by Google to track those.

Firefox don’t share data, well, if you don’t use the default Google search, but Mozilla does, sharing your account data. I hope that they finish the contract with Google, as they said, this Year.

Your syc data is secure, yes, but not so your account data, because is also known by Google, amon yor IP other. Enough to track you through every page with Google APIs (most) also your email, whichi is an unique identificator in the web. Don’t trust any web or service which share data to third parties, less in US webs or services. This is one of the reason because I always prefer EU soft, webs and services. They are also not perfect respect privacy, but lightyears better as those from US companies, where something like privacy laws, GDPR and user protection don’t exist or only in very deficient manner.

All companies that have to pay for infrastructure, servers, employees and invoices naturally need income, as is logical and legitimate. Some use contextual ads, that is, tool ads on a DIY page. This may be annoying, but it does not put privacy at risk, but if it does, when the ads are based on the user’s history and data (surveillance advertising), this is what is massively used by US companies.

That there are other models to create income, for example what Proton does, with its Freemium services. The free Proton products (all of which are OpenSource, by the way), naturally have limited functions, but they do not require trafficking in user data, because they are financed through Premium services.

Andisearch, the first search engine on the market that used AI with its own language model, is strictly anonymous, no tracking or logging with sandboxed results, it is 100% free and private, for the future they plan to create a premium model for companies with specific functions for collaboration and special business functionalities, to finance the free version.

Vivaldi in new installations offers a selection of search engines (DDG, Ecosia, Startpage, etc.) and bookmarks, which pay a commission when the user uses them, if not, no, they are free to delete them, apart from a store with merch, upon insistence. from the users themselves sometime ago they also accept donations, probably also receive commissions from VAG, Mercedes, Polestar and Renault to include Vivaldi Automotive in their vehicles. All without trafficking in user data and without external investors so as not to lose independence, the mistake that Mozillla made when accepting Google as an investor. This is independent of having Google as the default search engine, since Google pays Mozilla and finances them, whether the user searches with Google or not.

It’s the surveillance policy, selling user data, which is the risk and will destroy the free internet if we don’t avoid it The ethics of a company respect to the user is the most important feature today, something that the big US companies don’t have.

What do you think what googleanalytics and googletagmanager do and who logs this datas? Only Mozilla? And yes, as said before, Firefox is OK, but not so with an Mozilla account, with which Google said “come to Daddy”. I hope that Mozilla, as promised, can end this year the contract with Google.

Don’t get me wrong, Mozilla does a lot for user privacy and is certainly one of the most reliable alternatives for a user among the existing browsers. I’m just seeing that Mozilla has unfortunately made a contract with the Devil that prevents it from having the full freedom of protection that it would like. Mozilla deserves the independence of this company, which, at the moment, it does not have, which is why I said that I wish it could end this contract.

I use several browsers, but the list of existing ones with certain capabilities and functionalities is getting small.

  • Edge is technically a good browser, but certainly not recommended for those who appreciate privacy,
  • Chrome users could ask Google to write their resume directly,
  • Opera is perhaps the worst, using trackers that distribute your data to half the internet,
  • Safari It is not much better either and it is also becoming the new IE with its desire to stay with an engine that is becoming obsolete,
  • Brave is unreliable due to its business with shady crypto companies and the intentional redirections to them and excluding investors from the protections against trackers, Facebook among them,
  • Otter is an alternative, but fighting for its survival, which makes it not very reliable in the long term,
  • the same with some Gecko and Chromium marginal forks, which either lack sufficient equipment for sufficient maintenance, They are directly outdated or lack a consistent support community, - Mullvad browser is very private, yes, but it completely lacks the minimum functions for customization or modification, practically a Firefox left in its bones with 4 sections in the settings.
  • SSuite Netsurf, very fast and beautiful, but not very configurable, it does not even allow you to change the Groot search engine, which on the other hand is good and private, it also does not have extensions, only an Adblocker that it incorporates and it is also only for Windows, the only plus its extraordinary speed and that it works even on very old Windows (>XP) with few resources.

Well, there’s not much left, Firefox, Vivaldi, maybe Otter (if you want speed) and Mullvad, to choose from. The big companies are really destroying a free internet in their greed to control everything and using the user as raw material and merchandise for this. Tough times if we don’t manage to stop them. More than 70 browsers have already fallen by the wayside, discontinued and abandoned in this “browser war”

They also use the Imperial system, because of the British occupation in the past.

It would be very desirable. AlternativeTo is perhaps the best and most complete service to find Software and services, for any OS and license. It shouldn’t be missing from anyone’s bookmarks, even so, a shortcut in Lemmy wouldn’t be bad. Community driven, most with user reviews and ratings, warnings if a soft or service is discontinued, with Malware or Bundleware, all links to the corresponding Homepages for use or download.
