Where/when does this popup come up? Is it in your browser, is it a Windows notification?

The most recent time I think I saw this was the latest Windows 11 update, but you can just click No and it goes away. Microsoft is being annoying persistent about getting people to use Bing now because of ChatGPT and Edge though. Hopefully there is a limit, if not the annoying Linux recommendations might actually start to have some merit.

Use Waterfox to confuse Windows and boost your performance

[–] OrdinaryAlien@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Waterfox has been bought by advertising and data analytics firm System1.

Waterfox is no longer owned by System1, and there's no evidence System1 ever added analytics to Waterfox.

  1. I don't care that much about privacy anyway. I don't really get why privacy geeks talk about Google collecting your searches while willingly keeping Mozilla telemetry (which is something W disables by default) on. What's the difference? I get why Google shouldn't be collecting external data but I have no issue at all with giving them the data I actually input. Plus Firefox has a lot more deals with bad privacy groups like Google, Fakespot, and Pocket.
  2. You can't make the assumption that they got worse on privacy just because they got bought. They're open-source, show me the code.
  3. Waterfox is said to be slightly faster. They also seem to have a lot more focus for development.
  4. Waterfox disables some of the Mozilla BS, like Pocket and that weird redesign of tabs to floating, by default.
