> So, in a nutshell, the cookie banner blocker is like your automated assistant that takes care of annoying cookie banners by either preemptively telling the website you opt-out or by clicking on your behalf to make them go away. This way, you can spend less time opting out and more time browsing.

Protip: if a site uses a custom right-click menu, holding shift while right-clicking will show the regular Firefox right-click menu.

do you actually know what im talking about? ublock isnt going to stop the browser itself from pinging google during startup. i had to edit my hosts file and even that isnt going to work forever

Do you understand what I'm talking about? I'm talking about the source code forks like Tor Browser and LibreWolf, they rip shit out the hard way, not just tweak some settings.

Same for GNU IceCat, they actually bother to audit the code before compiling stuff.

I guess that means we will have to switch to Chrome.

Google cuts down on functionality to kill off ad blockers, they're trying to control the Internet browser engine market to enforce their will. With Firefox the worst case scenario is we fork it again.

Ungoogled Chromium is based on Blink which development is directly controlled by Google to advance their agenda. I'd prefer using any browser that is not based on Blink.

Not saying you should use Gecko, WebKit is fine too.

Leftypedia just recommends ungoogled-chromium or unmozilla'd firefox browsers.

>refer to this page
>Firefox has been integrated with the spyware platform called "Google Analytics"[1]. Firefox has been confirmed to now send analytics to Google. According to a Firefox developer the spyware in Firefox is "extremely useful to us and we have already weighed the cost/benefit of using tracking." and that Firefox will not remove Google Analytics support entirely. Firefox's position on privacy is made very clear with this quote:
<"Wanted to address your position though: We don't give the "data directly to Google". See the discussion here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=858839. The short version is: tl;dr: We now have an option to opt-out of Google doing anything with the data that Google Analytics collections on Mozilla websites. GA tracking is anonymous and at the aggregate level and we use it to improve the experience of our websites. We are collecting aggregate and non-identifiable data in numbers to ensure our development/UX changes are met well. We can respect privacy and still have analytics; in fact Mozilla's aim is for an experience that values user privacy and usability (I'd say Apple also wants UX that fits that mold, as an example). We need some data, anonymized and aggregated, to do this."
>The best takeaway to this is that Mozilla wants to pretend that including spyware in their program is somehow not a breach of privacy, and that Firefox could possibly be respecting user privacy while simultaneously collecting data on users and sending it to Google. It's strongly suggested reading the GitHub thread and the further anti-privacy statements the Mozilla employee makes while defending the spyware features in Firefox. It's very dangerous to assert that there is somehow a middle ground between respecting user privacy and datamining the user.

Mozilla has been sucking Google's dick for a long time, they're barely able to stay competitive. A sign that Google spreads its aids not only onto the Internet but also onto its "competitors."

The quote talks about Mozilla's website, not Firefox. How is GA integrated into Firefox?
