for those who come and read through these comments, on top of considering not using a chromium-based browser, you could also:

  • configure your own DNS resolver e.g. NextDNS
  • go further and use a fork of firefox e.g. librewolf

many people here parrot the same things relentlessly. there is no issue with choosing firefox as your primary driver. every user here can decide on what they want for themselves.

i am offering other options as the suggestions in this thread (and threads like these) are homogenous.

Firefox has telemetry settings built-in which you can switch off. LibreWolf strips the telemetry options away and focuses on obfuscating your browser fingerprint.

LibreWolf is just a fork of Firefox (one of many) which tries to improve its privacy features.

I am not asking anyone to use this, just merely offering an alternate option. Everyone who accesses the internet has used a browser. What makes a difference for the average user is the GUI and UX.

If you use vanilla Firefox and don’t tweak the settings, often your DNS will be resolved by either Google, Cloudflare or your ISP.

There is no perfect solution, only optimal ones.

this is true. however it can filter calls to ad services and block them at the dns level before they’re loaded in the browser

Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works (gizmodo.com)

A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial. And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.

you might be referring to the CSI Effect

At some point they made a decision to change from something else to Netflix, so perhaps they’re not afraid of change but might need a compelling reason to use a different service?

Could be an opportunity for you to educate them on what options are available and why that will benefit them long term.

and also an allegory for transitioning

edit: there’s a reason why the wachowski brothers are no longer brothers
