Exactly. It sounds like Mozilla is trying to protect those that aren’t willing or able to protect themselves. It’s a noble reason to do just a little bit of evil. This is roughly the source of my mixed feelings on the subject.

While I appreciate your sentiment, this just isn’t realistic in the current state of the world. First, you need to make these kind of tactics illegal enough to incarcerate a person. Second, you need to expand and enforce this law globally. We definitely need this level of global cooperation, but are also soooo far away from achieving it

So I read a bit of Mozilla’s documentation about this feature. It sounds like they’re trying to replace the current practices with something safer. Honestly, my first thought is that this is a good thing for two reasons.

  • It’s an attempt to replace cross site tracking methods, which are terrible
  • Those of us that fight against ads, tracking, etc. can simple use typical methods to block the api. Methods that were already using (I think)

If both of these are true, then it could be a net positive for the world. Please tell me if I’m wrong!

I had the same experience. Though I strongly suspect this is an IOS limitation rather than an issue with the proton app. Just an fyi for optics

Etsy hasn’t been good for years. But I haven’t found an alternative yet. Anybody know what we should use instead?

I only have anecdotal info for based on some reading I did last year. As far as I recall, the program and software are new. So they’re slowly building up features for more complicated tax scenarios an in turn, slowly making it accessible to more of the population.

It’s just a matter of time before this is widely available. I read the post title as “we succeeded in this first year’s test and plan to continue the program”.

Kinda funny how it plays out IMO. Browser updates require restarting the app. This unloads all tabs but preserves my having them “open”. Memory stays low and we can keep basically unlimited tabs open. It’s quite nice!

It’s not as bad as it sounds. Firefox is actually pretty efficient with keeping the RAM usage low. I am running an M2 mbp with 32g but Firefox is definitely not the worst offender on my machine.

I’ve been using sidebery for months now. It’s fantastic but definitely takes work to setup and hide the default tabs. As a software developer, I typically have over 100 tabs open in my browser at any given time so vertical tabs are basically a required feature for me. This is very good news that Firefox is finally supporting natively. I’ll be testing it out!

Visibility

It’s easy to understand how income and taxes affect my life. For many jobs, it’s very difficult to understand the value of my labor in a bigger picture.

I think most people can’t think abstractly and thus struggle to see larger interactions like how money flows through an economy.

This is awesome! Thanks for the new feature. Hopefully, this is one more step away from apple in my life. I’ll be testing it out shortly

I saw this joke on my feed yesterday. I’m guessing they just wanted to post something interesting.

Note to OP: I don’t need the license for Fallout 4. Thanks for sharing the key with someone here. Roll again!
