Firefox is starting to creep me out, so I'm thinking about bailing.
How does /g/ like Icecat?
It's free as in freedom. I use it.
Rebranded, slower version of Firefox.

It protects me from nonfree pizza.

It's slow as fuck and hangs constantly.
I had a good experience with it like 2 years ago.
>>58003341
that was great thank you
Y'all can hate 'n shit, but give an alternative then, otherwise your just being a dick
>>58002832
I keep it as a backup browser. I approve of its philosophy and it's not bad at all.
>>58003545
The alternative is what it's forked from you dumbass.
>>58003570
Firefox died when it implemented that retarded new theme.
>>58003570
The thread is about firefox alts, the whole point is that FF is doing bs and I'm looking for an alt
>>58003643
Anyone who gave a shit switched to chromium years ago. The rest will stay with ESR due to addons.
>>58003663
But chromium is all google based and shit, and isn't chromium where the "okay google" mic always on bs was first found on?
It may be open source, but that doesn't mean anyonr actually looked at all the code and understood whay data was being leaked and not.
I currently would rather sync my logins with FF just cause mozilla probably gives less shits about them than google and master password ftw

You're using a phone. Holy fucking shit you're retarded.
>>58003799
Lolwut
Care to elaborate? How does using a phone = retard
wow about:config is hard huh?
>>58003828
Due to the way cell phone networks work any phone doubles as a tracking device. If your carrier or government really wanted to they could pinpoint your exact location and a pretty damn extensive history of all the places you've been at without any problem.
I know its based off chromium, and is arguably shit, but any defenders?
>>58003828
Also stop typing like a braindead newfag for fuck's sake. Learn fucking English.
>>58003891
So you are saying to not use a phone? Or open the phone and rip out the gps? Or that not being tracked is pointless?
>>58003910
Ouch
>>58002832
Don't listen to memers, get icecat if you can. All the addons, sane privacy defaults.
>>58003799
>you already got stabbed in the kkdney
>So why are you trying to avoid getting stabbed in the shin
Jesus I'm sick of this argument. You can still take steps to protect parts of your privacy you know. It isn't like it's an all or nothing type of deal.
>>58003939
Thanks m8
>>58003957
Ikr, and corporations and gov. are different things ontop of that
>>58003923
I'm saying unless you deal drugs, are a high profile political dissident in a repressive country or have some super secret info you don't want the world to know (which you wouldn't share over a fucking browser then) it's pointless to worry too much about muh privacy, because we're so immersed in the botnet the only way to beat it is to drop out of society Unabomber style.
>>58004018
you stupid cunt, not only you are leaving aside online banking but you are a sick motherfucker wanting all sort of hacking and identity theft to happen
>>58004018
Not all corps share all their info. with each other, botnet meme can be taken seriously if you use w10, fb, twitter and all that other bs, but if you make a bit of effort you reduce the amount of info your sharing substancialy, and this the usability of that info.
>>58004018
>>58004018
If I get word that FF is "tracking user actions" it is my duty as consumer to find an alternative, if I don't, the FFOS model is meaningless
Lol this thread is sparking some realtalk
Can anyone who installed icecat on his phone tell me if the exhemtai plugin can be installed on it or is it like firefox 50 where it downloads it but never shows the prompt for install?
>>58004050
>>58004057
>>58004081
Read my post again, I'm not saying it isn't worth it to TRY, but blocking targeted ads and installing a distro won't save you from the real big faceless agencies and organizations out there. I'm saying we can only do so much because we live inside the botnet for all purposes, you autistic fucks.
>>58004191
We're all friends here m8, no need to call us autistic fucks you terrets infested fucktard
>>58004187
You got me m8, now my search history includes exhemtai, search correctef to exhentai, fucking hell.
Use Palemoon
>>58004187
I can see all the addons, not sure what you mean?
