I'm convinced people secretely hate privacy. To quote Zuck:

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard

Zuck: Just ask.

Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?

Zuck: People just submitted it.

Zuck: I don't know why.

Zuck: They "trust me"

Zuck: Dumb fucks

Replace Zuck with Google and it's the same story.

Everyone: NO MORE FUCKING AI

Microsoft: we put it in your breakfast cereal for, y’know, reasons

Google: we painted your rooms with it so it can be . . . fun

Amazon: looks around shiftily, mutters and scurries away

I use Mull for Android and find it a bit more performant than vanilla Firefox.

The age of "saving your browser history" for convenience is over.

I'm all for anonymous surfing again.

The biggest trick the devil ever pulled was getting us to use our real names on the internet.

Why are people so stuck on using Chromium browsers?

Because companies make websites that only run on Chrome. They don't test for Firefox. They don't care.

Easier. Just works. Things render and look right.

Dev experience is significantly better than Firefox.

I use both browsers.

Because unlike Firefox they render things well and for what's worth Firefox does a lot of snitching about your activities.

Is that a typo?

You're saying Firefox does a lot of snitching about your activities? Comparable or more than Google?

I never said it was worse than Google, I just said it isn’t what everyone here paints it to be.

If this were local and private it could be neato. I will never know, since I have dropped Chrome a long while ago.

Yup, I've been saying for a while that Firefox should have better tools around using local data. There have been a lot of times where I wanted to find a link I visited, but gave up because the tooling sucks.
