How to live without Google
For many the Internet is Google: Search, mail, videos, web browser, cloud services, mobile OS, etc. – Google is the major player in all these fields. But Google uses all data it gathers across its services to post targeted ads, and to massively profit from the data many share so freely with the Internet giant. Your personal data can also be subpoenaed by lawyers, including for civil cases like divorce. Google answered over 200,000 such data requests in 2020 alone.
More and more people are also realizing the risk of relying on one company for so many personal services. So, the time has come to stop this unlimited data mining and to take back our right to privacy. Here's a quick guide as to how you can use the Internet without sharing all your data with Google.

Good privacy, many add-ons, open source, no Google
A great browser that's lost it's way.
As of 8/6/17 Firefox has begun to collect user data in an attempt to collaborate with Online News Association (A VERY partisan organization,) in an attempt to collect data on "fake news" websites and prevent users from seeing them. There are also rumors that they have teamed up with Piere Omidyar and are providing the information to help with his "fake news" censoring agenda. Mozilla, however, has yet to comment on the supposed relationship as of 10/9/17.
Edited by ryngak•October 10totally agree, I've had to use a modified version for over a year now. They have confirmed your statements with the actions described here: https://thenationalpulse.com/breaking/mozilla-threatens-to-go-beyond-deplatforming-in-creepy-statement/
cool
The only relationship between Mozilla and the Online News Association (a nonpartisan group of journalists) is when Mozilla collaborated on A-Frame, an open source VR framework that journalists can use in to present their stories stories: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-empowers-journalists-power-frame/ . It's ironic that you are complaining about Firefox blocking "fake news" when your entire comment is essentially "fake news" and I am reading your comment on Firefox right now.
What once was the go to solution for a free, fast and unbloated web-browsing experience is now advertizing and selling its own services while adding unwanted feature after unwanted feature. Being fast is now dependent on your hardware and internet connection. It's still a good solution, but i had to switch to a fork (Waterfox) in hopes to avoid most of Mozilla's bullshit. What are you up to Mozilla ? What do you stand for ? Nowadays, nothing more than a brand.
It has gone through a lot of changes, but it’s still a solid product.
Finally! Firefox has a modern UI/UX. The only thing that I still dislike about the browser is excesive advertisment that is done within the app. Sure, you can turn most of it off by going in about:config and set the things you don't like to false, but that is just to much husle. If only Mozilla could've cut some of the adds for its other products and copy Vivaldi and give us the VPN as an extension we can uninstall, or Brave and gave us the AI stuff as a chat bot like in Brave, but in this case as an extension so we can uninstall that too. Still a good browser, but it requires tweaking 100%.
Firefox added a permanent VPN ad on Android in Version 157
Ill do my Cromite on Android and Chromium on Desktop combo.
If Firefox abuses trust and goodwill that much, i dont care about browser-monopoly then.
If they go bankrupt, its self inflicted and by now sadly deserved.
Fishy, slow, not trustworthy
