That depends entirely on what kind of data is stored and how often a new unique ID is created, and that’s something users can seize control over.

They put ads in books too, unfortunately. The internet ones you can block.

It doesn’t track users. It collects anonymous statistics and assign them to a unique ID without storing any other information about the user.

And it IS meant to replace cookies, but you can’t just replace them all at once and disable the legacy cookies. It is going to have a gradual transition.

And they did tell us about this many months ago.

Also disingeneous to call it adding ads to firefox, because that’s also not what is happening. They’re trying to replace cookies with something better for our privacy, and them developing this feature will not impact any users who block ads or disable tracking cookies already.

I think they should go ahead and make the feature so that people who don’t care about ads at least don’t get tracked.

I don’t know about buying domains, court or taxes. Those should be private and they probably are in my country.

But LinkedIn and dating sites are definitely a scam.

I am a huge privacy fanatic, so it is my goal that no one should ever be required to upload pictures of themselves on the internet or reveal their addresses or phone numbers. People have gotten way too complacent in handing over their private information, and that needs to change.

The fact that having privacy is unrealistic is truly bothersome.

This is not a technology issue. Never reveal you real name, address and phone number on the internet.

I don’t know, we’ve had small communities grow gigantic overnight after a larger one collapsed. Lemmy being one example. I think once something like that happens, more developers and users will flood librewolf.

Wanting privacy is no longer niche. People just don’t know where to go.

If Mozilla goes under, the main funders (except google) will start funding the librewolf team instead, and they’ll have more than enough resources to maintain the browser since librewolf devs don’t spend 99% of their funding on other garbage unlike Mozilla. Maybe it is about time we hand over the browser to more capable people.

At least docblocking a summary above every method is always good. You can automatically generate documentation this way.

But instead if blocking means they cant see your posts, can’t you talk behind their backs without them ever even knowing about you?

Yup, which you don’t because that’s what the PC is for.

If you use a PC, there is no need to connect the TV to your WiFi, which means it won’t send any data.

Just like Lemmy.

Connect it to a Linux PC for optimal privacy.

You’d probably have more luck installing a signal jammer in your car.

The best you can hope for is a rootkit and some Linux-based OS for cars to be developed so you can take full control.

Element seems to have voice and video chats in beta right now, and they plan to implement it into the Element application, so it looks like it is on the way at least.

Why not just use Matrix? I thought it was the goto FOSS and decentralized Discord alternative.

Being able to select multiple layers at the same time was a feature requested 11 years ago. Now it is finally here.

For anything non-gaming I use Linux.

For anything gaming I still use Linux.

I would happily watch ads if they were non-intrusive and non-interrupting ads like side banners that don’t cause popups, or product placement inside videos.

I would also pay for a platform where 100% of the money goes to paying for hosting and paying the creators.

Neither of these things are happening, so yes, I would rather donate to support piracy.
