Speaking of spyware, someone shared these links recently on IRC, which I
found insightful:
https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/icecat.html
https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/firefox.html
https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/chrome.html
For instance, Firefox’ portal detection mechanism (which I find handy)
raises privacy issues, even if that’s not intended. (I suppose we could
replace it with example.org and it would work just as well.)
