@nprofile…z76w started my company two years ago.
I've got an e-commerce .
After I got an order for a laptop in NY state, I called to verify they ordered it. Then sent it to them. And then locked down my e-commerce signup.
I sell PCs. But the main thing I sell is support. If I cannot support the device to the fullest extent (meaning if need be I can go get the thing). Then I don't want to sell it.

@nprofile…xzn6 What things do you not like about their sync?
I actually really like their features, especially the share and send to devices feature on the mobile version.
The fact that the mobile version supports UBlock Origin also. It's pretty much the only way that I can read a food blog or any of those other hideous blogs that use Google advertisements.
If I ever do advertisements on my blog, I am just going to sell ad space directly to companies that contact me. https://txtechnician.com

@nprofile…xzn6 Nope, just plain old Firefox running on Opensuse Tumbleweed.
Moved to FF because of "Containers" years ago. Even before switching to linux. Couldn't see myself parting with FF now. It's on my phone too. (I do use 3 other browsers though, dev and support reasons)

@nprofile…xzn6 I don't remember if it's libre wolf or water fox. One of them is a Firefox fork that automatically accepts and then removes cookies whenever you close out the browser and it does a couple of other things too.
I'm not that concerned with my privacy.
If I'm doing something that requires that level of paranoia.
I'd be using something like: https://tails.net/

🚨 Firefox Is Evil? 🚨 ... nah.
Firefox updated its terms, sparking backlash over removing "we do not sell your data" claims. But their **privacy policy confirms they still don’t sell data.**
Looking for alternatives? Try these KDE-friendly browsers:
🔹 **Angelfish** – Default on KDE Plasma Mobile
🔹 **Falkon** – Fast & privacy-focused
🔹 **Konqueror** – OG browser & file manager
🚀 Test them out! 🔗

Ok, #Firefox + #AI integration is well done. FF added an AI option in the sidebar, and a little button that lets you do some actions. I just used it to proofread. 👍
I wrote about it here: https://txtechnician.com/r/EqE (scroll down its near the end).
Pretty sure I'm going to dedicate a post to it.
