Using “them” instead of being precise, leaves who the party tracking you is up to the imagination of the reader, which in turn just makes it sound paranoid.
How did the Firefox devs come up with “let’s not ask our users where they are, and just track them without asking them first.”?

Not for nothing, but you can’t dictate how communication is interpreted by the recipient. And if you’re wondering what I mean by that remark I’ll refer you to consult the votes.

I just shifted my entire workspace from brave to waterfox a few weeks ago! Now I have to do it again…
I know Librewolf exists, but I have reserved it for only personal and private use. I also know I could use containers too but my work use requires websites where I need the canvas API and DRM, and I don’t want to unharden my Librewolf installation for them which is why I want to store my ‘work’ workspace in a separate browser altogether. Is there some other Firefox fork I could use for desktop?
LibreWolf is alright but their anti-fingerprinting breaks dark/light mode preferences.
Check out Floorp.

Better have ai than ad

Between 2019 and 2023, Waterfox was owned by advertising company System1.
So be careful of Waterfox if you agree more with Bill Hicks when it comes to advertising.
Waterfox bypassed my ad blocking DNS and served me ads. I uninstalled it, not gonna try it again until they get serious about privacy.

I think they’re talking about pihole not ubo

Honestly, it may have nothing to do with the browser.
For instance at&t’s newest fiber gateway (bgw320-500/505, 3-4 years old at this point) has a known issue that bypasses pihole for all Wi-Fi devices. Such that only hardwired devices can utilize its DNS services. Even with the pihole acting as DHCP server
It could just have enabled DNS over HTTPS in the settings, hence not having used the user set up DNS at all.
Except for getting the IP of the DNS that they then connected via HTTPS.
Librewolf uses Quad9 by default IIRC.
they’re doing that with dns over https, which is secured against your attempts to avoid corporate tracking. look for a doh blocklist.
Good they disabled that diabolical feature.
Sounds like I placed might eggs in the correct basket for once.

6.6.6
Triple six. The evil fork of Firefox (ad-provider owned, etc).

Eh, I have a constitutional right to not be up to date with the latest browser drama. It’s just drama.
Plus, 6.6.6. The pun and connection was just too good to let pass. Relax. Get a grip. Get a life.
