A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

Check the wording. I said Mozilla, not Firefox.
I think Firefox is a great product and want it to succeed, but lately Mozilla has been burning its reputation by chasing the advertising and AI trends. Make no mistake, they are a for-profit company. That doesn't mean their products should be shunned, but they shouldn't be exempt from skepticism and rational distrust simply for being the lesser evil.
My apologies, with the collective chicken little-ing around Firefox I didn't read as clearly as I should have.
Yeah, control should be on the user's end rather than expecting a website or external resource to not change.
Yeah that part kinda sucks, but it's not all bad. For example, there's the offline translation engine that relies on a trained model that runs entirely locally, which is kinda neat and great privacy-wise.
