The French government is considering a law that would require web browsers – like Mozilla’s Firefox – to block websites chosen by the government.

      Why do right wingers hate freedom so much?

          A globalist leaning. Macron if I recall comes from big money in the financial world. The do not have a leaning poltically, they are amoral, dark triad.

    Unfortunately, this is gonna happen and worse. We lost the fight for the internet in 2006, and we’re watching it die. No joke, I started using yandex browser and search since Google ruined theirs, and it is close to perfect. Waterfox is my backup.

      I wouldn’t recommend using Yandex, due to it’s connections with the Russian government. You should check out privacyguides.org they have a lot of cool info about privacy respecting tools. However I also don’t recommend anything Brave. The company was founded by a homophobe who was previously in charge of Mozilla, but left, because of community pressure.

        What can the Russian government realistically do to me?

        My government is the one that can ruin my life.

    If worse comes to worst, someone can fork Firefox and remove the in-browser censorship. That is the beauty of FOSS.

      Unfortunately the 99% that don’t know about less popular options will still be affected

        True, however it will require some grassroots movement/discussion to make it known.
