It is more distant than #Tor-browser, but still based on what was originally #Mozilla's code. -

and in the end you need to #trust the browser anyway, don't you? i mean, how can you make sure they are not collecting all the data in the background, whether or not you enabled sync..?that's why i'm not using #chrome - they are for sure collecting everything there is to collect...
for #firefox i'm at least not sure ;-)
i'd still recommend to #questionthat individually.

https://binfalse.de/2019/01/04/run-your-private-firefox-sync-server/blogged as a #followup from yesterday https://mstdn.binfalse.de/@martin/101360297771580532
@schnittchen @jalcine @krono and @dgold politely convinced me to elaborate in an article :)

binfalse (martin)'s status on Friday, 04-Jan-2019 22:05:19 UTC binfalse @mase it is supposed to work on #android, but i can't confirm that...
i'm using #orfox and #fossbrowser, which however do not support sync.
there is no pure #firefox in the @fdroidorg repository (and #google #play #store is not an option). just tried #icecat but cannot sign in to sync (probably related to https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?50960) -
binfalse (martin)'s status on Friday, 04-Jan-2019 21:17:21 UTC binfalse @nev #cool, didn't know that! can it #sync out of the box? does it only sync with other #epiphany instances, or also with #firefox instances?
ah you know what... hold my #beer, i'll give it a try! :doomguy: -
binfalse (martin)'s status on Friday, 04-Jan-2019 20:56:43 UTC binfalse just setup a private #firefox #sync server. pretty straight forward... :firefox:
1. build a #docker image from https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver
2. #deploy it somewhere
3. configure identity.sync.tokenserver.uri in #about:config to point to your new location
4. login at `about:preferences#sync` (you still need a #mozilla account, unless you also run a private account server)
5. sync and check about:sync-log for #error|s -

On the other hand, I can have a combined total of 150 tabs in 4 windows with #Firefox and #Palemoon and it will run for day without issue. -
tobym (tobym)'s status on Friday, 28-Dec-2018 20:12:51 UTC tobym Just learned about this #firefox feature: "% <term>" in the location bar searches for <term> through your open tabs. Nice!

binfalse (martin)'s status on Thursday, 20-Dec-2018 08:25:21 UTC binfalse just created on an up-to-date #debian #testing :debian: who's #firefox 60.4.0esr :firefox: seems to have issues ? :birdsite: ?
didn't know that feature still exists in 2018!? :wat: ?
i suppose that's been cause by #gtk-#recordmydesktop, which obviously has problems with #i3!? ?

However, Chromium can't even have 35 tabs without force-rebooting the entire machine. -

With several tabs open, it approaches 3GiB of RAM. #Firefox and #Palemoon, each with double the number of tabs, together total about 1.5GiB. -

Neither #Firefox's nor #Internet_Explorer's built-in feed support was ever good. -

I don't think that's all attributable to the process-per-tab & sandboxing. -

Both #Firefox and #Palemoon are running, but both of them together use fewer resources than Chromium, despite having more tabs open.
(I suspect the difference is in the embedded #JavaScript interpreter.) -

My response:
"I'm glad they are finally tackling this. But there's a better way to do this, and it can be done for both private and public browsing: Outside of the same domain, referer should only contain the domain. Period.
In the age of surveillance, there's no good reason to send more information than that to 3rd parties."
