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.

How to track trackers? [Python for now]

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.

It's getting hard to use and recommend Firefox, I'm afraid for the free web
Re: firefox and privacy, if you want to use firefox for privacy, consider using https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js . There is a case to be made that Firefox (with arkenfox's user.js) is one of the best privacy-respecting but still fairly usable browsers.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
For extensions, I recommend people follow the recommendations[1] in the arkenfox repo and either harden their firefox or use librewolf. Umatrix is unmaintained since 2019.

Waterfox G6.0.2 had whitelisted search deal partner www.bing.com against user extensions in extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains
If you make time to dig through settings and change them away from their official use (99% of users don't), then you should use a customized setup (in this case, a user.js). That way, you're good to go no matter what Firefox fork you use.

Google Chrome just rolled out a new way to track you and serve ads
> Firefox remains a stable option to come back to everytime
Don't get me wrong, I've been using Firefox for the last decade and I don't intend on using anything else for the foreseeable future, but Mozilla has no idea what they're doing with Firefox nowadays. Firefox View is the most useless thing I've ever seen, that expiring "independent voices" theme picker was some weird hippie stunt[1], the latest UI redesign which split the tab from the window looks hideous, and it's not like Firefox doesn't have things you can tweak for a more private experience[2]. I miss Firefox Test Pilot where they tried out different new features, I found a lot of them to be very useful but sadly lots of them didn't make it.

I don't understand what's so good about Firefox
Like others have said you can customize the browser to the point that it doesn't even look like the default anymore. Or customize it to maximize privacy.
