Impresia noastră despre cei 15 ani de Android
Am instalat si eu extensia Ghostery si dupa ceva cautari in lista de domenii blocate din pihole am dat de discutia de mai jos in link (communities like the Firefox subreddit seem to believe (rather zealously) that Ghostery is closed source and sells their users browser history to ad companies.)

How do i stop the "never consent" Popups?
If you have ideas in how we can improve, best leave a comment on https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-extension/issues/908 or open a new ticket. We did already change the UI a bit based on the feedback that we got so far. If there is more that we can do, please let us know. :-)

reddit gives me blank white page
There's some more details here and here. There are some mentions of Chrome so presumably not an issue with the recent FF update. Basically it seems Ghostery needed to push out an update to fix its filters bc it was blocking Reddit as a tracker by default.
- Ghostery is blocking Reddit completely on Firefox...

Can you disable the tracker wheel in search results?

Goodbye Brave
Disclaimer: I work for Ghostery. I respond to protect my own name, not my employer.
Ghostery is not selling user data.
Let me point out a few facts:
All browser-side code is open source https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-extension and https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-dnr-extension.
Yes, Ghostery has a subscription based business model and that another reason to great care in protecting users privacy. Take a look on how we use blind tokens to authenticate subscribed users while searching on glowstery.com https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-search-extension (notice that even when you are a subscribed user there is no session cookie so queries cannot be linked).
Hope this sheds some light on the accusation. If that’s not enough, I do sincerely recommend uBlock Origin or AdGuard on Apple’s platform.

ublock Origin + Ghostery on firefox addon on android and Mac Os = good combo or to avoid and why ?
1) Ghostery has been open-source for a few years a now. 2) The software used to be owned by Evidon. After 2017, it has been owned, open-sourced, and maintained by privacy-focus devs. Ghostery does not sell data.

Brave's AI assistant now integrates with PDFs and Google Drive
Unrelated but about Brave and interesting to me: I recently found myself having a large upstream project that I need to maintain some custom patches for, and there's a need for deeper customizations and I worry that my rudimentary system of applying .patch files will turn into an unmaintainable nightmare of merge conflicts after every rebase. I was thinking about possible solutions, and it occurred to me that Brave being Chromium-based must have this same challenge but an order of magnitude more difficult, so I looked for their code to see how they solved this issue.
It's pretty interesting! They do basically the same thing for core Chromium, applying a (big) set of patches[1].
Incidentally, I'd be interested to hear any ideas/approaches to this problem. I'm guessing if there was something clearly better, Brave would be doing it, but it seems like there should be a better way even if I can't think of one.

Brave browser simplifies its fingerprinting protections

Brave appears to install VPN Services without user consent
I disagree that it's lip service Brave has a ton of engine level privacy patches https://github.com/brave/brave-core/tree/master/patches
To my understanding you can't match it with just js extensions.
Only firefox on the highest security mode comes close I think?
Or ungoogled chromium? (brave has most of their patches IIRC)
Are there other options that have this number of patches?

Chromium is not 100% Google's forever and always, though they do currently lead the way, and with the most used/backed fork.

Brave is a fork, not a Chromium reskinn
They have much more changes than just compile flags. Here's the repo where they maintain their patch set: https://github.com/brave/brave-core/tree/master/patches

Brave Ads are back? Even when they're turned off?
Brave Private Ads toggle controls just Push Notification ads at this time. So, if you are still seeing Push Notification ads, that would be incorrect. However, it's normal to still see New Tab Page image ads, and/or other ad formats. We are introducing a new UI that helps you better toggle on/off specific ad units, and removing the "Brave Private Ads" toggle that can be confusing: https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/18938
