- Firefox is a privacy-friendly alternative to Chrome, using its own browser engine (Gecko) and offering strong privacy protections compared to Chromium-based browsers.
- Despite its benefits, Firefox relies on Google for funding, raising concerns about its future, and some recent privacy decisions have drawn criticism.
- Switching from Chrome to Firefox is simple, and alternatives like Mullvad Browser offer even stronger privacy for those seeking more protection.
This article talks about additional things such as importing data, pros and cons of Firefox, and other alternatives. I know many people who are not tech savvy enough to even know how to change a browser.
However, considering that this is posted on Lemmy where most users are already tech savvy (enough to at least start using Lemmy) and more privacy and open source focused (enough to at least stop using reddit), I do agree that this does feel a bit redundant for me at least.
It’s also a good reminder for us to share it with people that may not be tech savvy enough to make the switch.
You can just download one of the many <WhateverApp> For Lemmy apps from your mobile store… there’s literally no barrier to entry.
