I have been using Librewolf for several months now, and I am quite happy with it. In terms of user privacy, Librewolf by default has some strict settings enabled, like Resist Fingerprinting. Resist Fingerprinting does cause some minor problems, like incorrect timezones, but there is a workaround, as stated on the Librewolf website.

According to the Librewolf documentation, fingerprinting can be turned off, but they recommend adding the Canvas Blocker extension in its place. That is my current setup, as I didn't like that websites in Librewolf couldn't get the correct time and time zone for me.

Here's the direct quote from the Librewolf documentation:

If you don't like the downsides of RFP, or you are not concerned about fingerprinting, you can disable RFP in the LibreWolf settings, or in your overrides. In that case consider using an extension like CanvasBlocker to retain at least a minimum amount of fingerprinting protection.

Can they just focus on the browser? I really don't need the AI stuff.

Um...really? I don't think so!

This doesn't surprise me, given how messy Facebook has become. What does disturb me is people not being able to recognize that they are AI-generated. Now, this could be due to the AI becoming so sophisticated that it can actually generate life-like images, or it could be due to humanity's inability to question what they're viewing and whether it is true or not. Either way, this is very concerning, and if it can happen on Facebook, I'm sure it's also happening on other social media sites as well.

Speaking of which, how can we stop something like this from happening on Lemmy and other federated sites?

Great! But, let's remember this is Facebook after all, so... 🤷‍♂️

I don't know whether to cautiously applaud or be even more concerned about another "AI" being released way too early than it should.

To quote a line from Star Wars, "This deal is getting worse all the time!"

Well, I guess now is as good a time as any to become a pirate. Drink up me hearties, yo-ho!

Well, for the users, I guess this is a lesson for them to not bank on a Big Tech company like Apple to cover their financial credit and transactions.

While I largely agree with the options that Tuta provides, I think the article could've been more succinct and to the point if they condensed all the Firefox forks like PaleMoon and WaterFox under one category. Also, I'm not sure if Brave should be on this list, not just because of their Chromium foundation but also because of their use of cryptocurrency, something I consider very suspicious and unsustainable. Finally, I question whether DuckDuckGo should be on the list. True, they are more private when compared to Google and all, but aren't they limited to what they can block through their contract with Microsoft? I remember hearing/reading something about that.

Didn't Robocop teach us not to do this? I mean, wasn't that the whole point of the ED-209 robot?
