I’m eagerly awaiting the new version but I already like it. They now admit that they are sharing and sometimes selling private data (anonymized or not, same thing).

The simple way to deal with this is through extensions. Collect anonymized data through an extension, let the user decide to opt-out if they want.
Too late for me personally, I've gone ahead and moved over to Zen.
Brodie thinks that they still left themselves some wiggle room for ""selling"" user data.

I guess it is time to start setting up Nyxt.
What’s the best alternative on Mac?
You could try zen browser
It looks like Arc but built on Firefox’s engine? That’s sick. I’ll give it a look.
Nah, it's abandoned as the company turned to ai stuff
Are you referring to Arc or to Zen?
Arc. The browser company is continuing security updates, but has otherwise stopped all development
Zen had its latest release 5 days ago, and arc 4 days ago, so I have no idea what they're talking about.
Arc. They are only continuing security updates and necessary maintenance. No more feature work, no more bug fixes.
I downloaded it and signed into to Sync and i gotta be honest it’s a little half baked. I think I’ll stick with Firefox for now until it leaves beta.
Is there a way to generate fake user activity data to feed to Firefox or stripped down versions of firefox ?
So that the data is useless for anyone buying it.
Furthermore fake browsing data also messes up data collection by websites.
maybe with anti-detection browser, there are with free-bee version, dont know if that will help . which basically lets you use proxies as well, and spoofs your fingerprinting. people who made of accts, or advertise on reddit uses these to evade reddit ban(until reddit made it harder to do so currently)
