This would be better for the DeGoogle community, I don’t believe any of these are terribly privacy friendly.

BBC’s iPlayer is only available in the U.K. (or with VPN) and has a lot of tracking. Just one example.

You left out the two most important types, Passenger and Freight

Is that related to Google bricking (and now releasing a patch) the older Chromecasts? Or is this a separate issue?

Just because you have not had a problem does not mean they aren’t behind on patches.

That’s good information. Like I said, I have not used it.

Doesn’t eOS use microG or something to get around that?

I have never used eOS because they are always behind on security patches, but I had always heard it worked Ok.

Yes, that should be it. Firefox runs its own version of SafeBrowsing, but it falls back to Google if it sees something that is not in its database. Then it sends a hash to Google to check it.

Focus and Klar are basically the same, except for the telemetry. Iirc Klar was created because having telemetry would possibly run afoul of some German data privacy laws.

Klar would be the pick of the two. You could also use a different fork that you used like focus where you set it to only use private browsing and delete data/cookies etc on quit.

Klar has telemetry disabled by default, Focus has telemetry enabled by default.

About:config is disabled in both, so you cannot change anything that is not available in the settings.

It is an official version of Firefox, not a fork. It generally does not break things as it is basically Focus without telemetry.

It is not comparable to Mull (rip) or Ironfox

My dog is a fucking libertarian, I can’t take his gun, so I lightened the trigger on my Glock for the cat. Cats got my back.

Poland is in the EU bro…

I haven’t found any sources that say what’s under the hood. Seems like a safe bet though.

There have been quite a few pieces about how this kind of data might benefit someone who was behind in the LLM game too.
