Oddbean new post about login | logout “Firefox & Thunderbird Collect User Data by Default (in Violation of European Law” This is something we have known for a long time, hence the need to use telemetry-free browsers such as LibreWolf, Mulvad or Tor Browser. https://lunduke.locals.com/post/6201979/firefox-thunderbird-collect-user-data-by-default-in-violation-of-european-law
How about Brave? Good or bad?
Telemetry has also been found in chromium and brave, although in both cases it was rectified, I can't tell you how the situation is currently in chromium based browsers.
Got it. Thanks for the reply !
Any suggestion for a mail client?
Kmail (kde) or evolution (gnome)
This can be turned off in the settings though, right? Not saying it should be there, just saying you can opt out, I think.
It can be deactivated unless they have included something new but it is more convenient to use for example Librewolf which is already telemetry free.
Thanks, it looks like Librewolf is a solid replacement. Finding and turning off all the telemetry in Firefox is a pain, so I'm glad there's a better option. I was aware of Brave but it always seemed a little sketchy to me.
Brave seems sketchy to me. With all the ads being served on the home screen. I shoukd stop using firefox. Just been my default for years.
