… and they’re tracking your searches, collecting massive amounts of telemetry, and using pocket that collects and sells your data.

BaSeD

Still good to have, but too bad they couldn’t just piggy back off of Brave’s soft fork or something and keep the functionality.

Bruh.

At this point I’m just using Brave (the only privacy search engine that indexes the web as apposed to just proxying results from another service) and fall back to Bing on the occasion I can’t get results there.

Google’s web results seem so bad that I don’t even go to them anymore if the privacy search engine doesn’t have good results. I go to gasp Bing.

Nope, they cut all the Mozilla stuff out

As much as I hate to say it, Firefox is a privacy mess.

Pocket and Fakespot have very bad privacy policies. The Windows version has a unique Mozilla tracker if you download the installer from the website, and the android version has Google Analytics built in. The existing and new telemetry is a but heavy, but it’s anonymised so it’s really the lesser of the various evils.

My recommendation is LibreWolf & Fennec as alternatives.

Still a positive in my eyes. Somebody gets their computer stolen, or sells a computer not knowing that files can be read/recovered from the hard drive, and they’re protected. Unless you’re thinking you’re gonna get raided by the government or something it fits most use cases while still letting people who forget their password recover it.

The EPA makes really tight emissions targets for vehicles under a certain size or the auto makers have to pay a fee iirc. Pretty sure they the medium sized stuff out of existance, an unfortunately I’m guessing the same fees would apply to imports too.

The next? My understanding was that similar rules have been in place since Bush Jr, and this was just a reauthorization with minor tweaks.
