WTF @librewolf - you had only one job and you are failing in it.

“No telemetry” -> first thing Librewolf does is connect to Mozilla telemetry services.

Found out this by having @littlesnitch@mastodon.obdev installed.

@TheWorldRolledMe “LibreWolf also maintains an open WebSocket towards Mozilla’s push server to check wether you have received push notifications from websites you have subscribed to.”

An app that is developed privacy in mind should never connect to anywhere without consent.

Also, I really don’t need any freakin’ push notifications from websites. I’m not “subscribing” to anything - or never will. What is that even - I didn’t know I can subscribe through Mozilla to websites. Weird.

without consent…

Um… isn’t that what the screenshot is asking for? I’m missing the part where you’re being forced without consent?

Edit: I misunderstood the above screenshot. My apologies.

@dohpaz42 Nope, that is a screen capture from Little Snitch (Firewall) that noticed new outgoing connection.
