A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

Does regular Firefox disrespect privacy in some ways, or is the fork just better for privacy due to the additional privacy protection features listed on that page?
Normal Firefox is just worse by default, you can configure both to be almost identical
There's the possibility of a hardened user.js, e.g. this one by pyllyukko on Github to set many of these configuration items in a more secure or privacy-respecting way.
That seems to do a lot! Would you recommend using that instead of hardening manually?
Everything is commented, so I'd go through the user.js once in a while and copy it to my own. I don't use all of the settings.
