  • Heads up yall:

    By deselecting/disabling everything under Firefox Data Collection and Use it should also disable Website Advertising Preferences which is the Privacy-preserving attribution (PPA) as mentioned in the article


    That and I would honestly recommend installing Librewolf as an alternative browser (it’s Firefox but with privacy prioritized default settings)


    Installing as a Flatpak via Flathub

    sudo pacman -S flatpak
    flatpak install flathub io.gitlab.librewolf-community
    

    Installing on Arch Linux via Yay:

    ## Yay Install
    sudo pacman -S git
    git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
    cd yay/
    makepkg -si
    
    ## Enter super user/or root password when prompted.
    
    ## Package installs with Yay
    yay -S librewolf-bin

  • Even if it were possible, personally I wouldn’t recommend using it as it would violate/contradict the system of trust and autonomy

    Forcing the belief of:

    • “you have to use Linux because I believe it’s good”
      • “because I believe x means you should believe y”;

    onto someone makes that idea inherently untrustworthy and the foundations of its origin would be unstable.

    My recommendation is that if you want people to use Linux or something because you trust it and want others to benefit in the same way; then it’s existence and systems contained within it should act as proof itself and shouldn’t have to be forced onto others

    • similar to opt-ins rather than opt-outs
