I use Waterfox because Firefox actually does steal my data but Waterfox doesn't.

Honest questions: what data does Firefox steal and why Waterfox over others like Librewolf?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Firefox has telementary on by default which you can easily disable in settings.
And imo waterfox is worse than Librewolf as it was sold to system1, a advertisment company

Firefox "steals" the kind of data that tells them how people actually use the product. And they only do that if you don't turn it off.
