Comment on Which Browser Should I Use In 2025?

Why do you think Firefox is spying on you any more then any if the other major browsers?

Because they said so in their updated ToS. They might not be as bad as Google but they’re not saints

That is not what they said. They said operationally nothing is changing. However, they are basically in-part ad supported and so with that comes some strings. All of this can probably be configued out but it is a pain.
For me, hard call. Fragmenting into maybe better browsers reduces Firefox popularity and that impacts wheather web developers will test against anything but Chrome. When that happens these other browsers become irrelevent. So using other browers has a consequence.

Regardless, the fact is unless you’re going through the code, you’re not sure if the tracking and telemetry is really disabled. LibreWolf does that for me, so I use it over plain Firefox
