Aren’t we all?! /s

Always found it weird how it was so pushed in tons of privacy guides or in privacy tips. It’s as if they were just parroting each other without actually thinking why it would or not work at all.

Welcome to the internet, where blogspam is pushed to make $$ without fact checking.

removing yet another security feature theatre.

DNT was always just an honor system, and can be used as another data point for fingerprinting.

Maybe, what makes u say that?

That doesn’t have a link to the history & bookmarks manager.

No way in hell would Proton make a Chromium-based browser, the only way that would not be hypocritical is if they fully open sourced it (you could compile it yourself), and maintained their own fork completely devoid of Google tracking and telemetry.

Right now I don’t think Proton would do much better than existing options. There are browsers on different ends of the privacy to convenience spectrum (and these are all Gecko based):

• Firefox: decent privacy by default without changing any settings
• Librewolf: Firefox but with hardened settings for privacy
• Mullvad Browser: Almost the same as Tor but not on the Tor network, which is admittedly slow
• Tor: Uses the Tor Network and by default very hardened for Privacy but makes lots of convenience and QoL tradeoffs, including letterboxing to common browser resolutions.

Wow its that bad?

The only reason Mozilla still exists is because Google needs them to so Chrome can’t be a complete monopoly.

Yep this is exactly what I meant. Maybe I should’ve made that clear.

How does it work though, does it use tracker lists like uBlock origin does?

I’d definitely wanna block embedded trackers though

But couldn’t the JS runtime track which objects and variables interact with such information, so if they make any HTTP requests with the info after getting it and maybe processing it then it could be rejected?

Firefox changes the capacity dynamically, I set browser.cache.disk.capacity to false in about:config and browser.cache.disk.capacity to 1024000 (the storage amount in MBs)
