Shots fired 🔥
those tables usually are wrong or misleading, i don’t like them.
Edge for example has the 3rd party cookie blocking and it works ok, so why it’s “no” and not “somewhat” or similar?
I dont see the line “3rd party cookie blocking”
should be “prevent sites from tracking”. Or they carefully chose that sentence in order to give a “no” to edge and “somewhat” to chrome and opera
Precisely why these “feature comparisons” are bogus.
Does it, though? Or does Microsoft come under the second party label
if i enable it, most websites don’t load ads at all, including MSN news that’s ad-ridden
Yeah I’m confused about what tracking Chrome blocks that Chredge does not.
Safari needs a tick in “copy urls without site tracking” since ios17 and macOS Sonoma

Copy without tracking has been hit or miss for me on Firefox
They need to add a row for “Owned by a foreign superpower” and a check for Opera.

On one hand, yeah. On the other hand, that could be a point in its favor, depending on your threat model. After all, if you’re American, China can’t prosecute you for secrets it learns from Opera the way the FBI could prosecute you for secrets it learns from Google.
I didn’t get that but I guess because I have a plugin to give me nice backgrounds on new tabs.
But yeah, shots fired. Nice!
The only issue is that only already existing Firefox users see this, and we already know this.
I think this is a shitpost of the highest order. If this appears to everyone (?) it adds nothing, and the crappy table is just astonishingly blatant cherry-picking.
Chrome and Google 4 LYFE bro!
Conveniently excluding Vivaldi browser.
They included the biggest browsers. They don’t need to include every single browser in existence.
Youch, that’s just mean!
I know, right? Where’s my entry for
lynx, dang it?!
And DuckDuckGo Browser
And Brave too, which inconveniently beats firefox hands down in independent privacy checks. The mozilla foundation finally needs to step it up.
That heavily depends. Brave may have better advice/tracker blocking by default, but they send more telemetry. Them being an advertising company also doesn’t speak for them. Brave is a decent browser and on IOS/IPadOS a good option for open source + Adblock, but max privacy would be reconfigured Firefox or Librewolf.
Everyone’s just trying to strike a balance between protecting privacy and preserving usability - it’s not as simple as just enabling the strictest privacy protections, consequences be damned.

I have no idea why you were down voted. These are facts, not opinions
Fact: Brave is a protection racket wrapped in a crypto scam.
Fact: your opinion is based on snippets of things you heard online and doesn’t actually match reality 🤷
They are bots.
Everyone who disagrees with you is.
I’d rather them just put up the results of the chrome lawsuit rather than a marketing table lol.
If only Firefox on Android doesn’t refresh the pages every time I switch to another app and back to Firefox (and even showing only black screen), just to input 2FA code or card detail. It becomes really annoying.
The desktop browser is pretty fine though.
Every brother has one of these on their site, and somehow that browser always wins
Honestly I don’t see the reason they put that there. I already own Firefox why are you trying to win me over?
People tend to have multiple browsers. You might have FireFox installed but still not be aware why you should use it over other browsers on your computer.
For the newbies
You love it?
I bet you hate Google doing self ads?
Yet this is also just a self ad. And spammy, because it pops open a tab, something browsers are supposed to suppress unless specifically enabled.This is a false equivalence.
If Google advertises the merits of their browser within their browser, like Mozilla is doing here, then that’s fair enough.
If Google is utilising their other products to unfairly give themselves a leg up in advertising their browser, then yeah, I’m against that. If I search on Google (the de facto standard), I shouldn’t have popups telling me to use Chrome.
Same goes for MS relentlessly advertising Edge in Windows and forcing it into other MS programs.
Tell me about it. I use nothing but Firefox right now and I hate these intrusive ads. Of course, there’s no built in way to disable it, when it could very easily be a toggle.
