I downloaded it from Aurora Store. I know I can download it from Github through Obtainium but I always run into problems if I use that method. Is FFF private like DDG?
Yes ( relatively…)
Everyone suggesting forks like librewolf or whatever are missing the most important point… all these forks are downstream… so if you kill firefox, you kill all the downstream forks (unless someone willing to do the heavy lifting and work full time on one of the forks)
If people are willing to kill firefox over some stupid features the can be opt-out, then you are cutting your nose to spite your face (and hand it over to google/chrome)
firefox is literally the only thing stopping/slowing google/chrome total control of internet standards
unless someone willing to do the heavy lifting and work full time on one of the forks
It is much more than this. Browsers are massive projects that require a full team of developers working full time to patch out security vulnerabilities. Let alone work on new features.
I’ve also seen it said by people who know more about this kind of thing than i do that because they’re relatively rare forks like librewolf actually make identifying individual users easier than if you were using vanilla Firefox
Most of these mental backflips are not worth noting. I will remind you that despite giving Mozilla plenty of walking-around data, they took Pocket away anyways, which was the simplest way to share articles to a Kobo and likely other ereaders. I will have my revenge, Mozilla
FFF is basically just a dedicated incognito FF with privacy settings maxed out: no history, no persistent cache, tracking settings set to max, no persisent cookies etc. I am not sure what you’re asking about related to DDG, that’s a search engine.
