Why Not Use Firefox

Firefox started and ended like Google, announcing privacy and freedom only to then sell advertising.

Imagine if your company or organization depends on investment funds similar to Blackrock’s.

Since June of this year, Anonym is part of Mozilla and will be progressively integrated into Firefox.

Why should you care about this? Because Anonym has the following terms and conditions (edited 30 days before the transfer):

We collect… IP address, social media user names, passwords and other security information,…your browsing and click history.

We create a profile about you to reflect your preferences, characteristics, behavior and attitude.

It is a company created by two Meta (FB) executives. And it also shares everything with Google:

We use Google Analytics on the Site and Services to analyze how users use the Site and Services, and to provide advertisements to you on other websites.

We may disclose Personal Information and any other information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties.

“Private parties” was added before the acquisition by Mozilla, which also directs Firefox.

The list of information they retain is frightening and can be consulted from archives because they edited it.

Beyond this, Firefox has other privacy issues that have increased over the last few years.

If one wonders how Mozilla (Firefox) is financed, one finds this data:

This means that 90% of Mozilla’s funds were concentrated in the search engines it incorporates by default (anti-private).

the default search providers would be Yahoo in the US, Baidu in China, Yandex in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and Turkey, and Google for the rest of the world.

Its main page

Amazon, Twitter, Github (Microsoft), Reddit. All very private, of course :joy:

Firefox is NOT what it sells

It comes by default with telemetry and MANY privacy options not-enabled.

Clicking on “Do not sell my data” actually decreases privacy because it establishes a specific footprint.

You can find out what events it records, the list is extensive.

They don’t sell them to third parties because they bought and integrated them into their company. It’s very simple.

The original link to this article gives an error because they organize themselves without announcing it and deleting traces.
