    The people on Lemmy convinced me to switch from Chrome to Firefox.

      Firefox is just that browser. Nothing beats it.

      This is a good step forward for privacy. However, how it’ll handle data embedded in the URL like MVC?

      Also, if it does work well, it’s a matter of time until developers find a way to get around it and probably enhance and increase data collected in the process.

    I really hope the ctrl-c shortcut defaults to that

      As much as I like this idea in theory, in practice I would actually be pretty annoyed if ctrl+c did anything other than copy the currently selected text. I would like a keyboard shortcut, though.

    Firefox, or Mozilla, continues to be the only browser (at least among the biggies) that’s for the users, not the trackers and marketers.

    Thank goodness. I hate trying to copy share links and they got a whole paragraph of tracking BS. Even YouTube started to add that.
