This new piece of Chromeware comes with:

>A new Sync Button directly ripping off the Chrome Account button.

>New rules so that Add Ons are disabled by default on Private Mode.

>Saves Password even on Private Mode.

I rate it a: “Switch to Basilisk/Pale Moon you Dumbass Court Monkey!” out of 10.

of course. I wonder if Basilisk is in any Linux distros' repos or if I need to compile it. Or if it's even worth using it instead of Pale Moon. Is Pale Moon even actually secure?

So let me get this straight: first you're mad because they're disabling extensions on private mode by default (because those extensions can and will gather data on your private tabs) and then you're mad because it's now possible to save some info from private tabs? Make up your mind.

And no, Firefox doesn't "Save Password even on Private Mode." it merely asks users if they wish to save their passwords.

Are you genuinely retarded or just pretending? His complaint is that even though it disables extensions to prevent saving data from private tabs it still saves data from private tabs.

Says a lot about you. Sync button is old as dirt.

The private-browsing-disabling-new-addons-by-default thing is fucking annoying to me, but after talking to normie friends they apparently use private browsing as a sort of fresh-start deal and having their six gorrillion pinterest facebook bullshit icons turned off there is what they want, and they just manually whitelist uBlock Origin.

I use temporary containers on every new tab by default, and don't have AIDS addons installed in the first place, so I wouldn't have thought of such a thing.

Sync is also a really useful feature. I use a ton of devices and all my bookmarks, tabs, etc are seamlessly available, and E2E encrypted. Feels good.

There is no reason, besides the unfortunate situation where you need (a) web extension(s), to use Mozilla Firefox instead of Pale Moon.

addons can contain tracking components, letting them through while browsing is retarded.

arguable; if you don't use sync and trust them it's just a locally stored file, no different than a local password store program. You really shouldn't be logging in if your goal is to be private though.

If you’re a Windowsfag are you just better off using Microsoft Edge vs Chrome at this point? Yeah they’re pretty much the same in terms of privacy and security and even use the same rendering engine now, but at least Edge comes installed by default so you don’t have to feel like you’re adding more bloat

Or is Microsoft still somehow worse at this point?

How come the perfect browser can never exist? Why can’t we just get a Chromium based browser that has trustable source code and is fucking normal?
