@librewolf I love the lack of telemetry... Except for push.services.mozilla.com
what is that, and why does librewolf ping that on browser start?
@librewolf As someone who does NOT do push notifications from any source via browser, this option should be in preferences, or turned on when a user first accepts push notifications via a site like slack or whatever.
The ONLY thing hitting the network on a new install is this outgoing ping / websocket to mozilla/google.
This is telemetry.
@librewolf Consider disabling PUSH.
Following the topic https://old.reddit.com/r/LibreWolf/comments/15bgn04/librewolf_connecting_to_google/ I decided to have a look at this. Using Wireshark, I see that LibreWolf makes a DNS request for the domain **push.services.mozilla.com**, which leads to CNAME **autopush.prod.mozaws.net**, whi...
@librewolf Confirming, the browser makes no connections on startup when these options are set to false -
This should be OFF BY DEFAULT with the user preferences to allow websockets to mozilla's push services upon informed consent.
@librewolf Aside from this fiasco, I will be removing all of my firefox instances in favor of LibreWolf.
Compared to the amount of garbage mozilla is doing that needs to be disabled/neutered/blackholed, this is minor in comparison.
Thank you for this project.
