@elaterite Consider #Firefox or even better @torproject #TorBrowser instead?

@elaterite @torproject Claiming to not have a need for "#Tor" and dismissing it is like saying you don't need a first aid kit because you don't injure yourself...

It has it's reasons to exist and use even in "western" "democracies" as #NSAbook / #StasiBook aka. #Meeta nee #Facebook don't just rely on #Cookies to track users...

They literally collect data against people's explicitly denied consent and setup "shadow profiles" based off their peers snitching on them.

@elaterite @torproject So basically nitpicking what you like?

M8, I'd love to see that being realistic, but I'd rather pay for something good with money than having free trash.

As for regular-browsers and services: The :fediverse: and existing addons for Firefox already work great.

I just think the dismissal of Tor is naive and in fact will hurt everyone who relies on said tech...

@elaterite Have you tried Firefox recently?

@elaterite @stib I always thought that Firefox and its makers were among the “good guys” of internet land. Hence, I’m curious about your comment re. Mozilla’s CEO.

Would you please elaborate on what’s bothering you about Baker’s strategy for Mozilla Corporation? Thanks!

@elaterite @stib I had no idea about how much Google pays to Mozilla, and how the CEO's salary stacks up. That does put Mozilla into an, umh, interesting light. 🤔

Thanks for sharing that article, Bob!
