This just emphasizes another reason why people should not consider it a privacy respecting browser. :)

How privacy respecting can it be when you have to jump through hoops to turn off everything it shouldn’t do by default, in the name of privacy in the first place?

That should be my line.

Lurking is so much easier though!

They are releasing digital as well.

A choice allows for saying no. Installing it anyway takes away your choice. Having to disable something you didn’t want to begin with puts the responsibility on the person that didn’t want it. Then you are responsible for keeping up with it hoping it doesn’t turn itself on in an update or send information somewhere regardless of being disabled.

A separate update/download for AI would actually give the user a choice.

AI should be built like the internet — open, accessible, and driven by choice

If they really wanted to give you a choice, they would allow the option of saying no, don’t install any of it.

Let’s do one better and get rid of all the surveillance.

Good crew!

Ublock lite is very lite compared to the original. Even using every filter option it still misses quite a bit. I’ll stick with Firefox.

Technically true

Google can’t keep malware off the platform now, but sure, make it mandatory you can’t go anywhere else unless they say so first.

It’s complicated.

That’s my line!

Switzerland has a surveillance law in the works that will force VPNs, messaging apps, and online platforms to log users’ identities, IP addresses, and metadata for government access

I can only answer why I dropped Windows. I wasn’t going to pay a company to force AI spyware onto my system, ignore my commands with every update that negated them, or hold my data hostage if I didn’t jump through their endless hoops; all to claim my data as theirs with their end goal being to charge me more money for accessing what is supposed to be mine in the first place!

It seems to me that nothing is really new and there is nothing exciting, if not interesting, about technology today.

There is the massive infiltration of personal privacy to surveil everyone for whatever reason that is currently deemed acceptable, so there is that - smh
