The other day, I made a post about Firefox's web extensions, specifically for YouTube. A lot of people pointed out Mozilla's recent TOS update, which pertains to selling personal data. I noticed there were no suggestions, though. What alternative would you suggest, Lemmy?

Fork of FireFox,
with a focus on data privacy:
https://librewolf.net/

I'd also like to add IronFox,
similar to LibreWolf, but for mobile:

From what I know, librewolf is just a script. Sm it will be susceptible to Firefox’s policies

After a brief scroll through their source repo, I think it's a set of patches which gets applied by a script while compiling the browser from source.

So it's unlikely that it will be susceptible,
unless they forget to patch some telemetry out during a release, which is unlikely, since the projects goal is data privacy + security.
