I use Firefox because it doesn't steal my data OR lie to me.

And foxes are cool animals 🦊 Way cooler than whatever a chrome is.

Firefox is actually a red panda. Which frankly are even cooler than foxes.

the name "firefox" comes from the red panda & the icon apparently from a fox, so you're both right in a way. a little bit of ambiguity and people discussing the brand of the browser seems to be quite a likeable thing to maintain ;-)

Chrome plating (less commonly chromium plating) is a technique of electroplating a thin layer of chromium onto a metal object. A chrome plated part is called chrome, or is said to have been chromed.

Chromium is a chemical element with the symbol Cr and atomic number 24. It is the first element in group 6. It is a steely-grey, lustrous, hard, and brittle transition metal.

I use Waterfox because Firefox actually does steal my data but Waterfox doesn't.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honest questions: what data does Firefox steal and why Waterfox over others like Librewolf?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Firefox has telementary on by default which you can easily disable in settings.
And imo waterfox is worse than Librewolf as it was sold to system1, a advertisment company

You're lying to yourself if you think Mozzarella Foxfire doesn't have telemetry. I'd recommend Waterfox if you're wanting no telemetry
