I remember seeing a list saying Firefox was spyware too and to use brave fox instead? I have to do my research a bit when I’m back home

Thanks :) what about on mobile? I’m using safari

I don't like Brave, but it's probably the best option on iOS. Browsers on iOS suck in general though, on Android we have awesome options like Mull
The list was wrong. Of all the highly compatible well tested well supported browsers out there Firefox is definitely at the top of the list for being honest and safe.
I use brave because I like its features, but The CEO is kind of an ass and they're as likely to spy on you and sell your data as Google or Microsoft is.
It was posted here yeah I don’t know if you remember it
Was that a list put together by Brave?

Which is only true if you don't install ublock, too

I don’t remember :( it was on Lemmy
No, Firefox is basically the opposite of spyware. They do so much more than other browsers to protect your privacy.
It's not
You probably mean this one: https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/firefox
But the article is total garbage, Firefox is totally fine to use. If you want something better, check out LibreWolf, it removes the telemetry, Sponsored sites, Pocket, etc. and adds privacy features. It also comes with uBlock Origin preinstalled. They even have an official Lemmy community: [email protected]
