Do you guys think floorp is safe to use? They forked the original firefox. I’m newbie to lemmy, so tell me if this is the wrong sub to post.

    Floorp does not track users and only blocks malicious tracking on websites. With Floorp you can build an internet that benefits both websites and users. Blocking only harmful trackers by listening to the opinions of both website owners who make a living from advertising and users who want to protect their privacy, why not use Floorp in finding a better internet?

    This seems like a big no to me. Advertising these days usually means running scripts in the context of your websites so that inherently makes things less safe.

      There’s some more proof of that claim? I mean just judging by what they say, they don’t exactly claim they let some tracker pass.

          wait, if this is case can be possible they take money by sponsorship with website ads? There’s a way to check? I mean even original firefox take somehow money from sponsors, there’s even an alternative free from tracking?
