How about turning off data sharing in whole android… Google…
Okay, turned it off. If a site needs my location it can ask me and I can politely tell it to fuck off unless it has a warrant.
Isn’t that just because Firefox got access to location data because some site asked for it?
Yep. Like a map website…
commenting cus I also have the same question
Google warning you about Mozilla is just peak fucking irony
Wait a second. You’re expecting Google to not FUD? Ha ha ha oh wow. I mean I didn’t actually expect them to do so, but yeah.
Wth is fud?

Expected, no. Surprised, also no.
Google: “Forcing us to divest Chrome could have impacts on our ability to support Mozilla and their high executive salaries as we own the space with Chrome.”
Also Google:
NnnnnoooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOO
The DDG app shows no 3rd party tracking attempts made by Firefox at all… So far…
Yeah. People can avoid all this nonsense by installing one simple app… Duck duck go browser.
You don’t have to use the browser. It just sits in the background quietly blocking tracking requests from other apps.
It’s absolutely horrifying on first use to see how egregious tracking is.
That’s not how it works. Apps cannot access the traffic of other apps, let alone decrypt it. There is no way DDG Browser does what you claim it does. They do not even claim that themselves.
It does in fact do what they claim it does, by functioning as a VPN.
You should probably try the app first before talking out of your ass.
figured as much
They’re making shit up. I can assure you that the DDG app does in fact block trackers in other apps, by functioning as a VPN. Give it a try, it really does work.
deadass? I just use adguard
I use both adguard and the DDG app. You should be using both too.
i mean it’s just because you can grant websites location data and toggle telemetry.
“Quick! Jump to chrome instead!” - Google spokesperson
Any good browser suggestion??
fennec - it’s foss firefox mod, without google and other tracking garbage
I like Zen. Waterfox is also good.
for android?
I like Vivaldi
Which is chrome in a trench coat.
Vivaldi
That’s chromium based. Having more firefox based browsers helps take away the dominate control Google has on browsers.
Alright gang, what are some good open source Firefox forks available on Android and Linux?
Librewolf for Linux. And ironfox on android
On Desktop I use Zen Browser. On Android I still use Brave, but I’m considering switching to a non chromium browser there some time.
I moved from Firefox on Android to Brave recently because it was too often breaking sites or taking much longer to load. Firefox just added a report broken sktes feature to the app though so maybe I’ll go back. Be the change I want to see in the world and whatnot.
