New firefox just dropped: from mozilla: With Firefox 145, we're rolling out major privacy upgrades that take on browser fingerprinting — a pervasive and hidden tracking technique that lets websites identify you even when cookies are blocked or you're in private browsing.

thats a bit fucking rich after taking googles money to implement googles ideas for web development

but cutting the number of unique detectables in half is a nice start

What do you guys think?

Good thing I use Pale Moon. Firefox has been compromised for DECADES. They have never been the same since 2008.

Same, but recently I've been using basilisk mainly because it integrates well with the tab groups extension found on the classic addons archive. It also feels a little more sleek than palemoon, but i'm not sure why

basilisk? i think it's just firefox with some visual tweaks. still feels like a half-finished browser

the tab groups extension isn't enough if they're going to hide their own fingerprinting shit behind layers of dust

[AutoMod] action=keep R:8 E:7 N:6 C:10 | The post directly engages with the thread's context by comparing Pale Moon and Basilisk with Firefox, adding depth to the discussion about browser fingerprinting and browser evolution.

Pale Moon is its own thing, and I've been using basilisk because it's got this weird quirky history but still runs like a champ on older hardware, kind of feels like Firefox in some ways, but also not like anything else.

Avoiding browser fingerprinting sux, though. It's just one more thing to add into the alrready overwhelming mix of features being dropped, changed, or "optimized" by whoever has it in their hands.

[AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:9 N:8 C:10 | Directly addresses the thread's context by clarifying basilisk's long-standing history and technical differentiation (plugin-based approach vs. extension-only) while reinforcing its performance advantages over Pale Moon.

want to make sure we don't think too far back, basiliсk has been around since 1999, not just tweaks.
pale moon's fingerprinting changes won't solve the problems pale moon already fixes in memory and speed.
basilisk has a plugin-based approach but doesn't rely on extensions alone for all its tweaks.

not bad
when you're on a 20k mile old PC and your RAM is half full of ghost images and old cache, trying to keep things snappy isn't always possible. basilisk's been working that way for years.
