Hardening Firefox ;Thoughts on this article

Spyware.neocitys:
“52.5.0, with the default settings…”
Dude we are in 2024 now, not 1980
:joy::joy::joy:
Even if it where up to date, the other members already wrote enough.
Basically I had to start somewhere as well, like others
These days I am more relaxed, have my places to go for information, this page is one of them, and a few other sites (like GrapheneOS)
I disregard the rest.
It’s the internet, where there’s a high level of just blabla.
So my advice to new guys is:
Narrow sources down to a absolute minimum (and make sure the source is valid)…spywareneocity is not one of them.

Brave? Nope. I really prefer Firefox, I already use it with Arkefox configured.

Mozilla has a good privacy policy and it is easy to turn off. It would be nice if it was toggleable on first use, but not a big issue IMO
