Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.
@Firefox11@fedia.io Librewolf is probably the best firefox alternative/fork that removes unneeded features and improves your privacy.
Librewolf
I think Waterfox is what you’re looking for. Or LibreWolf. Be aware that streaming services may not work due to DRM.
If pocket is your biggest issue, you can disable it in about:config
on Firefox, just search for “pocket”. There’s a boolean for pocket integration. Double click to toggle and you’re done. I’m on mobile atm so I can’t get you the correct keys but it should be self explanatory once you get to that stage.
Edit: Formatting and post language select
Check out one of the privacy-focused Firefox forks like LibreWolf, IceCat, or Waterfox. All three disable/rip out pocket by default, I believe, and reduce number of situations they phone home to Mozilla or Google. Memory savings are minimal though.
Librewolf for Linux. Fennec and Mull for Android
Libreworlf. It also strengthens Firefox privacy features with flags and disbles the Firefox telemetry
