Re: [Trisquel-users] Firefox (and perhaps even Abrowser) is sending data about the downloads to Google

I had been wondering about if it had been added in yet. I already knew that  
Ice cat/A-Browser where clean (it would be somewhat worring if they where  
not),


I'm more worried for other users that care about proprietary formats yet not  
in the 100% free software camp.

Indeed, I'm looking/waiting to see when a DRM free version will pop up. I'm  
already firmly in the A-browser/Ice Cat camp here but just for everyone  
else's sake I hope an easy solution is produced soon.

DRM hasn't been added to Firefox yet, so Abrowser/IceCat are already  
DRM-free. Once Firefox adds EME (and I haven't read anything about it since  
the initial announcement) Abrowser/IceCat will of course be made DRM-free.

Yeah, Mozilla goes downhill fast. But as long as firefox remains free  
software we have kind of a weapon against it.

Don't be too quick.
We shouldn't just think about the trisquel users; people expect a piece of  
free software such as firefox not to have this anti-feature and it is enabled  
by default on a debian system I'm currently running.

SafeBrowsing is disabled by default, so it's not a problem.

SafeBrowsing should be renamed to GoogleBrowsing.

*sign* It worries me that a group such as Mozilla appear to slowly sliding  
into a den of privacy and freedom issues that they appear to promote as being  
a strong point of the platform.


First it was caving to DRM requirements and now it is this. Yes it is not  
active for a lot of people but functions such as these should not be  
considered if they really believe in the state purposes.
