Yet, even after adding Fanboy's two extra lists, hpHosts’s Ad and tracking servers, uBlock Origin still has a lower memory footprint than other very popular blockers out there. Some addons like uBlock origin provide settings to prevent WebRTC from exposing local ips without disabling WebRTC. Disable the clipboardevents. Disable that websites can get notifications if you copy, paste, or cut something from a web page, and it lets them know which part of the page had been selected.

I've been a daily user and advocate of Firefox since Opera changed to using Chromium. But recently I've grown tired of their privacy hypocrisy and company decisions that I've uninstalled it and started to try out Edge/Brave/Vivaldi as my daily. It has pained me to do this as FF was my last safe haven away from Chromium.

If you dig into some settings and follow tech news, I have begun to question some of Mozilla's controversial settings, deals with 3rd parties and their political blog posts. I also have a problem with the CEO making $3m per year yet a continued market share decline since she came on.

Just a few of the things off the top of my head that I feel betray my trust of Firefox (all of these pertain to default Windows install):

1) Enabled by default all of your website DNS requests going to Cloudflare with a 'promise' this information is not being used or sold. We all know how solid this promise has been for other large tech companies. All under the promotion that DoH protects you from your own ISP. Adobe animate cc free download mac.

2) Upon install, FF installs a scheduled service that runs daily. From what I've found out, that service is sending back to Mozilla what your default browser is on YOUR PC (why is that their business). This scheduled service remains on your PC even after uninstalling Firefox and continues to run daily.

3) Enabled by default are Browser Studies and testing a clean install one is already installed and active called 'F100 Snippets'. Studies allow the Firefox team to install stuff right to your browser whenever they want, to gather telemetry .

4) 'Recommended extensions' enabled by default. Got a nag for a recommended extension after few days of browsing. So FF must be scanning your browsing history in order for this to work?

5) this result: https://brave.com/brave-tops-browser-first-run-network-traff.. . While it was from 2019 so needs to be updated, but upon first-run I was shocked at the results for FF here.

6) Firefox on Android has a known tracker embedded and enabled by default called Leanplum. From Mozilla's own website they state 'Leanplum is a mobile marketing vendor'

I'd love to support and use FF solely again, but I think they need some serious shaking up, starting with a new CEO (who allows this stuff).
