Shots fired π₯
those tables usually are wrong or misleading, i don't like them.
Edge for example has the 3rd party cookie blocking and it works ok, so why it's "no" and not "somewhat" or similar?

Does it, though? Or does Microsoft come under the second party label
if i enable it, most websites don't load ads at all, including MSN news that's ad-ridden
the 'msn news' that most people see is the 'start' page that's baked into the edge browser. ubo does not work on it. for users that actually want that page, i clean up the start page settings and throw a bookmark to msn.com on their toolbar instead so ubo works.
Yeah Iβm confused about what tracking Chrome blocks that Chredge does not.
By that logic Linux supports windows because I can run it using wine.
I think this is a shitpost of the highest order. If this appears to everyone (?) it adds nothing, and the crappy table is just astonishingly blatant cherry-picking.
I think it's a work of love. :)
It seems to trigger discussions like yours, so it's good, a forum is for discussion.
astonishingly blatant cherry-picking
Did you expect them to create a table showing how mediocre they are?
Safari needs a tick in βcopy urls without site trackingβ since ios17 and macOS Sonoma

Copy without tracking has been hit or miss for me on Firefox
I just gave up and went back to using ClearURLs add-on. Nothing else seems to work as reliably, not even adding rules to uBO.
I don't use ClearURLs because it breaks some websites and doesn't implement a blacklist
Really? I haven't had it break anything at all.
I like using Firefox, but it's a bit ironic to have google analytics tracking on the page you declare to protect the users privacy.
They never claimed firefox.com was privacy focused. Only your browser.
Conveniently excluding Vivaldi browser.
They included the biggest browsers. They don't need to include every single browser in existence.
Youch, that's just mean!
I didn't get that but I guess because I have a plugin to give me nice backgrounds on new tabs.
But yeah, shots fired. Nice!
The only issue is that only already existing Firefox users see this, and we already know this.

Yassssss
i probably had it but closed the tab before it loaded
Every brother has one of these on their site, and somehow that browser always wins
So does Simplex Chat.
If only Firefox on Android doesn't refresh the pages every time I switch to another app and back to Firefox (and even showing only black screen), just to input 2FA code or card detail. It becomes really annoying.
The desktop browser is pretty fine though.
Android is really aggressive with killing background apps
