@programmer_belch Not sure since I’m not so good at javascript, but I know abt several reports and articles that Edge users has the same issue as Firefox users.
@SaltyIceteaMaker Same, I think it’s bc of uBO or other modifications from or which I made to LibreWolf, but other people made reports on Reddit and other Social Media platforms that they expierenced that and the code obviously shows that YT is doing that stuff.
@Asudox Firefox and Edge are two of the biggest competitors to Chrome, Edge is like a degoogled version of Chromium but with a bunch of Microsoft Trash instead, they don’t even have Google Safebrowsing or Google as default search engine like Firefox does.
@whale For me it works 🤷♂️
(tested with hardened Brave and Mull (hardened Firefox for Android Fork))
@sj_zero Just wanted to share this information, is not a recommendation which search engine you should use. Not everyone feel comfortable with using a search engine which is closed source and owned by a company, some rather wanna use a opensource search engine hosted by a invidual or a group of people, some other people prefer search engines like DuckDuckGo since they work put of the box without problems and have usually a better usability for the modt people, then SearX (or SearXNG) does.
@IronKrill Thats the same thing I think abt you guys, but alright.
@eya May I ask why you think that? I their afe good reasons to don’t use Firefox either…
@themoonisacheese If you think so 🤷♂️
@free Yep, thats why people invest a lot of time which have much more technical understanding than you have to create products to improve the privacy problem on Windows, Privacy isn’t a privilege which only a specific group of human is allowed to have, Privacy is a human right and should be accessable for everyone. If you miss the understanding for that, I would recommend informing yourself better then spreading false information.
@smeg You basically missread the article and it basically says, what I already mentioned and the extension is completly opensource I even checked the code myself. 🤦♂️
@smeg It seems like you miss the technical knowledge. Let me explain. Bad for security; this extension is so simply made there is basically nothing you could rly exploit and the only thing this extension is able to manage ur other extensions not more. Bad for privacy; it’s not since not every extension can be fingerprinting, only extensions which modify or do things related to the site you access. Websites don’t have by default access to the extensions you have installed.
@LiveLM I agree, I think more privacy extensions should be avaible for both, Chromium and Firefox.
@mrclark @privacyguides @privacy The extension literally can monitor itself 💀 and you can use something like Portmaster.
@staustellsimon @privacy Yea. It’s my typewise, I though about making it
more “standard”, but I decided to keep the personal touch.
@staustellsimon @privacy Oh. Thank you for pointing this out to me.
