This is AFTER debloating all the MS bs as much as I can.

The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.

    Also, Firefox, lemmys beloved browser, sends telemetry by default. You have to dig through menus you didn’t know existed to even find out, and then disable.

    Not only to Mozilla, but third parties as well.

      Sure it’s scummy, but it’s definitely not hidden. When you open the settings page Data Collection is a top level option

        It’s hidden in the fact it’s not presented upon first startup, it never mentions it, and it’s at the very bottom of the settings page.

        You have to discover it. And who knows how long you had it enabled before you find it.

          It’s interesting. I always get a pop-up asking about opting in for sending telemetry when installing Firefox. It was never hidden or the option selected for me. I opt out and it stays opted out.

      Firefox is the lesser of two evils. It turned to shit the moment they took Google’s poisoned money. The money also made the Mozilla org put on airs and think they’re some world-changing UN body or some shit and lose focus on their core business of making web browsers.

      Mozilla is also HIGHLY political, paying large sums of money to hardcore anti-white organizations.

        Are these the “anti-white” supporters you’re talking about? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/leadership/

        Seems odd that these anti-white warriors would be overwhelmingly white themselves. I’m guessing you think the only competent people they could find to hire were white?
