Trackers in forks of Firefox for Android
Trackers in forks of Firefox for Android
I've always wondered, why does Android forks of Firefox are not (or cannot?) get rid of ALL the trackers? Even Tor browser!
The browser with the least trackers is Mull, but it still has 1 Mozilla telemetry tracker, which the devs claim is completely disabled. I can't really read and inspect code, so I don't actually know.
So why is it? Does Mozilla make the browser unusable if you try to remove the tracker from the code?
You're viewing a single thread.
Tor is a special case. They leave some stuff in tact because the average Firefox user would never touch that stuff and it would key tracking companies in MORE that the tracking stuff is disabled. Its called finger printing and part of what Tor tries to do is make everyone's fingerprints as innocuous as possible
It's one of the reasons you should never use tor fullscreen on a PC. Makes it just a bit easier to try and fingerprint you.
The latest versions have a built-in workaround for that
Ah ok. Haven't used a Tor browser in ages.
