Manifest V3, Google Chrome’s soon-to-be definitive basket of changes to the world of web browser extensions, has been framed by its authors as “a step in the direction of privacy, security, and performance.” But we think these changes are a raw deal for users. We’ve said that since Manifest V3 was...
Could you post the actual source instead of just quoting it? That’s useless.
Also seems the Blacklight analysis is of the Mozilla website? “Blacklight detected this website…”
To which I ask “who cares?” This is not an indication of if their browser is sending telemetry to Alphabet, which it is certainly not.
Also based on your post history- you come off as a shill, which immediately makes me doubtful of your claims and this Vivaldi browser.
It seems he used this url: https://themarkup.org/blacklight?url=mozilla.com
The tool just analyzes the Mozilla webpage and have nothing to do with Mozilla Firefox web browser.
I just realized this post is 2yo lol Lemmy strikes again
I noticed right after replying. However, It’s still important to crumble the ridiculous attempt to stain Mozilla and Firefox.
Dammit!
Well at least it encourages people to debunk old bullshit. LOL

Firefox is a good privacy browser, except if you use the sync with Mozilla. Mozilla is sponsored by Google and send data to it and to Alphabet, it’s a fact.
Dude. This is a blacklight scan of the Mozilla website. It means nothing about their browser.
Not sure if you’re just dense or purposefully deceitful. Given you’re a shill for another chromium skin, I’m leaning towards deceitful.
If you read my comments you will see that I have not said that Firefox passes your data to Google (at least not if you rule out Google, which is the default search engine). But if you need to synchronize your data and also if you download to Firefox from Mozilla, this data does go straight to Google. Firefox is a good and private browser, I myself use it as a second one, but not so much if you need to sync your data, then it is necessary to use your own host and not Mozilla if you want to avoid Google, this is the problem. I am not misleading, because I know that this putting all Chromium in the same drawer is deeply false, it is true that Vivaldi uses Chromium (Blink) as its base, but it is largely de-googled, leaving the rest of the Google APIs as an option for the user in the security and privacy settings. If I disable everything, I can’t even download extensions from the Chrome Store, since it’s not recognized as Chromium Browser, so it’s the only API I have active. It is not a simple Chromium fork with a logo, like others, no data is sent to Google apart from queries about Chromium updates that goes through Vivaldi, where the devs gut it and then make it available in the Vivaldi update itself, neither by the browser nor by the Vivaldi sync server in Iceland, encrypted data where not even the Vivaldi team itself has access (if you lose your password, you lose your data , no recovery possible), no ads and no tracking, surveillance advertising, , like US Browser companies do, isn’t the business model of Vivaldi
