I want to know what kind of apps/programs y’all recommend to people or just use personally. This is just in general, could be anything from a game to a media codec. I personally use Linux but stuff for other operating systems is welcome too.

    What is wrong with stock Firefox?

    I hope you are not calling it worse than Chrome, because that would be insane.

      Hmm yeah. Not as bad as chrome but not that better. At this point, I use Librewolf because it allows uBo and has mozilla spyware removed. Mozilla pretends to be privacy-friendly. They aren’t your friend.

        telemetry is not spyware.

        Google collects data because their business model depends on them knowing as much about you as possible. Mozilla collects the data they need to fix bugs.

        Well yeah, they are a company, I have never thought of them as a friend.

        I would like it if they released an annual “Firefox Pro” version, the only difference would be that Pro version would be branded as “Firefox Pro” and a badge in the about dialog.

        You would pay €20 for it, and Mozilla could rely less on ads, and focus more on privacy.

                  wdym? we were discussing donations. no?

                  if you are back on the privacy topic, let’s just say they aren’t as privacy-friendly as they say they are. I wouldn’t be using anything firefox-based browsers if other usable alternatives existed. their sandboxing is pretty bad on android. which is also why, for example, grapheneOS ships vanadium, which is a chromium based browser.
