Web browsers violate privacy

Open enseitankado opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

*"Privacy-Preserving" Attribution: All browsers Browsers have some features that may threaten user privacy. Worse, they load these features into the system with them enabled by default. You can find an article about Mozilla's new breach at the link below.

New feature request A tweak can be added to disable settings/features of browsers installed on the system that pose various levels of privacy threat.

There is no tool I couldn't find a tool or script that disables privacy-threatening features of browsers. Maybe someone has this or can implement it. I think winutil is the most suitable tool for this purpose.

@enseitankado Winutil developers cannot do anything about this because it's Mozilla firefox related an app related issue cant be done through winutil it has to be done through firefox configuration.

some users don't use Mozilla firefox so this can't be a global tweak for all users so it's useless even if we can add it into the toolbox.
