The cynic in me dislikes things describing themselves as "focused on privacy, security and freedom". Also anything that has "Libre" on their name. Re: LibreWolf.
@fastidious Tbh, I wasn't aware of "libre" as a buzzword yet.
Other guys around here mentioned it.
I will not trust my web browsing to some obscure company, or a small bunch of unknowns. Anyone—and their pets—these days can come up with a browser that derives from Firefox, or Chrome.
@fastidious Hey! As someone working with Chromium I can tell you with absolute confidence that there is no way I could ever even make something capable of competing with all the ways the real Chrome spies on you. 😏
@thecanine It is not about that. It is about having the confidence that Chrome isn't stealing your credentials. We conduct personal, and enterprise business on browsers. I am not about to trust that, as I wrote, to "some obscure company, or a small bunch of unknowns."\n\nThat is what I am talking about.
Testing something here. Link to top. It works! Hmm, let me experiment with something else.
In the case of something like LibreWolf you can just trawl through the source code to know they aren't stealing your credentials. Agree on the name though, Libre gets tossed around a bit too much.
@eldersnake \n> you can just trawl through the source code to know they aren’t stealing your credentials […]
\n\nI wish but I lack the skills, and time, to do that.
