@bgcarlisle there are already a number of forks of #Firefox without the spyware; #ABrowser, #IceCat, #WaterFox, #PaleMoon, #Basilisk etc etc

@bgcarlisle aren't there already a number of forks of #Firefox without the spyware? #ABrowser, #IceCat, #WaterFox, #PaleMoon, #Basilisk etc etc Why don't people use them? Because they take naive advice like this:

@Simounet
that's my reason I'm moving away from #firefox:
I use #icecat and/or tor browser

#Mozilla goes at it hard against #tracking in #Firefox ๐ฅ
"This is about more than protecting users โ itโs about giving them a voice. Some sites will continue to want user data in exchange for content, but now they will have to ask for it.."

#Mozilla will change the way your #Firefox looks up DNS records. They say it's to protect your privacy and thats even somehow true. They announced two different ways to handle DNS lookups:
The first one is DoH (DNS over HTTPS) wich makes a lot of sense, since it just encrypts the DNS lookups.
The other one is TRR (Trusted Recursive Resolver) & involves sending all Firefox users' DNS lookups to a private, US based tech firm: #Cloudflare.
Here's why this is a bad idea:

#Firefox announced months back a new deal with #TroyHunt to implement #HIBP. It's hitting the big time now! ๐บ
Test batch to en_US users in version 62. If AOK then it's double plus good for wide release.
โ โ ๐ฑ
Exciting! ๐ This is mega useful. I've been using HIBP for years and even seen Troy speak here in London. Thrilling to see his work's much deserved exposure.
62 lands September 5.

Ask Noah | Episode 81: "Firefox Made This More Secure".
This week on the premium Linux podcast:
Firefox made waves by encrypting DNS entries making DNS more secure for everyone. They talk about IP cameras, gaming on Linux, and Steve Ovens from RedHat joins 'em.

@Modern_Industrial Ahhh ok, I just saw these both passing by without paying much attention. I *am* a bit woried about privacy in #firefox lately, though - not too much to stop using it, but at least enough to take a closer look. Still trying to find a path, however, between optimism, realism and just enough distrust... ๐

For anyone else hyperventilating at the #Firefox testing of the new #IETF standard recommendation: #DoH
You might like to hear about options to still use DoH and NOT #Cloudflare #Mozilla is not about to introduce a Single Point of Failure. It's testing a new standard via one of the early adopting DNS providers.
Anyways, here's a list of alternative DoH end-points! https://github.com/curl/curl/wiki/DNS-over-HTTPS#publicly-available-servers

With regard to browsers and the current controversy over #Firefox sending data to CloudFlare:
Years ago, I *paid* for Opera browser. I use a browser pretty much all day for work and recreation. I'd pay real money for an ad-free, spyware-free, non-creepy browser today.
Surely there must be other people like me who rely on the browser for huge swathes of day-to-day life and would pay money for one?

"Trusted Recursive Resolver" #TRR
Just to be sure, i edit the about:config value of #firefox
network.trr.mode to 5
to set it always disabled in any conditions.

The #firefox #webextension #unpaywall just helped me to get a #closedaccess paper in an #openaccess manner. And no, no #scihub involved. http://eprints.whiterose.ac.uk/127650/ https://unpaywall.org/
