I have my personal blog, made with Hugo and hosted on GitHub pages. Initially I did not turn on any kind of web tracking / web analytics, because I do not like tracking at all. But I want to make my blog better and to achieve it, I need a feedback loop about traffic. For example, what are the most popular publications, or how...
I miss the days of VHS and DVD shelfs in homes, for example. If you bought the tapes and had them in your home, no corporate entity could alter those tapes without your consent, monitor how many times you watch them, sell your data to whomever they please without your knowledge, roll out new mandatory conditions to a ‘user...
Many people probably won’t be bothered by these things, but I am. I don’t want to pay full price for something that I don’t truly own. I miss the familiarity. I miss the reliability. I miss feeling like it’s mine. Dependable. Trustworthy.

I would not mind if LibreWolf would be based on Firefox ESR (Like Tor and Mullvad browser are). The speed of the amount of new features added to Firefox is something I can do without.
I like the out of the box experience of LibreWolf very much but it will not work well for all websites in my case. Luckily Firefox and LibreWolf can be installed and used at the same time without any issues.
