Who controls Fire dragon?

Issues & Assistance FireDragon
1

Hi, maybe a little bit of a weird question:

Coming from Apple using Firefox, now using Garuda on 2nd laptop with FireDragon I am wondering who controls the data in Firedragon? This actually came to mind when I wanted to save passwords in Firedragon.
I now use that function in Firefox. I understand that FD is a fork of… And I noticed I can login on Firedragon with a Mozilla account but I´m still curious where my data is going.
Someone care to explain to a new user?

Not my place to speak, but it would be of help to you to read through:

Where you might learn things like:

Firefox accounts are enabled and profile data is synced to a custom self-hosted sync server (ffsync.garudalinux.org)

If you are curious about the safety of your data, you should know its safe.

Not my place to speak,

Well I thought it was the idea of a forum that everyone can speak, unless you have nothing to add to the conversation…

So thanks for the link, hadn´t found that yet. Still trying to get around in the new world of Garuda linux.

Firefox accounts are enabled and profile data is synced to a custom self-hosted sync server (ffsync.garudalinux.org)

So if I understand correctly that is a server run by the team behind Garuda Linux?

Well I suppose I have to put some trust in that then. To be honest I also don´t personally know the people behind Mozilla/Firefox… :thinking:
The fact that I use the Password function in Firefox is maybe because it is a more well-know name.

Thanks for clearing things up, -->will read the link :wink:
Keep up the good work,
Ray
