OpenAI is making its own browser, presumably to spite Google and cut out the middleman when collecting user data (www.pcgamer.com)

Use LibreWolf/firefox and UBlock Origins and kick the data collectors to the curb.

    Libewolf is firefox, and i would suggest canvas, an anti fingerprinting extention and noscript, but it breaks a ton of sites

    LibreWolf is a fork with more privacy protections. Firefox has some shitty people in charge now and can’t be counted on being good in the future.

    From what I understand you don’t want to use too many addons because that will also help fingerprint your machine. But I’ll give that one a look!

    Own browser, or slap on their own user interface and extensions on Chromium?

    They will start paying you peanut flakes, to harvest every word you write directly and to allow them to use your browser as a scraping bot, mark my words

    You’d think tech bros would understand the tech better and not want to get harvested by a shitty corporation. 😂

    They’ll be the first batch of “worshippers” 🙄
