"(...) #Chrome von #Google ist der mit Abstand beliebteste #Webbrowser weltweit. Seine Schnelligkeit und Benutzerfreundlichkeit haben Millionen Menschen überzeugt. Doch hinter der glänzenden Oberfläche verbirgt sich ein mächtiges Datensammel-Werkzeug. Was viele Nutzer nicht wissen: Chrome protokolliert nahezu jede Ihrer Online-Aktivitäten und sendet diese Informationen an Google. Selbst der vermeintlich sichere Inkognito-Modus bietet keinen echten Schutz. Welche Daten Google tatsächlich sammelt und welche Alternativen Ihre Privatsphäre besser schützen."
Wow, die FR hat's geschnallt: fr.de/produktempfehlung/millio

Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads | TechCrunch
"Perplexity is building its own browser is to collect data on everything users do outside of its own app to sell ads." Yikes...I'm not sure I'd want to install this even to *test* it.
Maybe in a VM, but there's no way I'd run this as a daily driver for a few weeks like I've been doing with other browsers.

Stuff a #Pihole in your #router because your #browser is about to betray you
You could be forgiven for feeling #webbrowser suppliers are actively working to make us trust them less.
#Mozilla bought an #ad company; this month, removed its promise not to sell your info.

Mozilla sells #ads, #Google limits blocking-time for stricter measures
Pi-hole takes over as your network name server, and silently redirects all web requests to known ad-server addresses to a #DNS sinkhole.

Thank you so much, Jon, @jon ! I appreciate the whole suite of services.

This msg is sent from my non-Vivaldi, mas.to Mastodon account. I use, and like all the client software built into Vivaldi, though. Especially the free VPN !

Thanks again, for all you do.

Vivaldi SocialJon S. von Tetzchner (@jon@vivaldi.net)Unlike most others, we have made certain choices at Vivaldi that IMHO are important in this time and age. We believe the choices were important when we made them, but even more so today. Our servers are in Iceland and they are our servers and not some cloud servers. We use them for all Vivaldi services, including things like Sync, Blogs, Forums and Vivaldi Social. Electricity in Iceland is green. Most all of the power in use is hydro, with a little bit of geo thermal. We do make use of CDNs for speed, etc., of course. #Vivaldi #GlobalWarming #EU #Europa #Iceland #Browser #Politics

The Switch Has A Web Browser You Can’t Use
It's true. It's meant for things like WiFi login pages and displaying online manuals, but it doesn't have a field for entering URLs yourself.

Seems unfair to me, but I suppose they thought everyone has a smartphone these days. (Until recently, I didn't!) And I understand the web browser was a persistent security ho

New app review on my website!

IronFox
★★★★☆

A privacy-hardened Firefox variation for Android, comparable to LibreWolf on desktops. Removes Mozilla tracking and services like Pocket. Locks down features that can leak data, but those changes can break some sites.

I am once again faced with the bleak irony of people who like to code in the terminal with Vim or Nano, but also install onto their computer some 5 or 10 apps via FlatPak or Docker, including VSCode, each installed with their own entire copies of Node.js and Electron.js (differing only in their minor revision number), while also complaining about Emacs being “bloated” because it ships with a miniature web browser and fully-featured e-mail client.
