A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The privacy bit is just as much absent as using chrome. You'd want a fork for either of the two for that.

Sorry but your argument is absolutely false. Even if Firefox is not the most private browser ever, it's waaaay more private than Chrome. And you can even make it better with a couple of toggles.

It definitely used to be different. But since the eu's "cookie laws" as they're called, google and mozilla worked together on a new approach.
