Vincent, to linux in Firefox needs a 180° turn to full privacy out of the box. - Feddit

Use Tor Browser if you want it dialed up to eleven. You'll quickly find that it's way more of a hassle to use, and also still pretty easy to accidentally compromise the security measures.

Of course Firefox isn't perfect; nothing is. But a 180 turn implies it's the opposite of perfect now, and it really isn't - especially in a world where basically every other browser is waaaay closer to that.

But also keep in mind that it couldn't exist without Firefox/Mozilla existing. A world in which more people use Firefox over Chromium-based browsers is a better world.

Vincent, to piracy in Are any of these (firefox) extensions causing the 'Adblockers are not allowed on Youtube' message for you guys?

It's linked to your account. If you view YouTube without logging in, you should have no issues. You can use the Multi-Account Containers extension to log in selectively per tab, if you need to.

Vincent, to linux in I need some help with linux energy management and hibernation

I'm assuming you've already found it, but just in case you didn't: Framework has setup guides for Fedora, which presumably should make everything work as intended. Find your device on this page, then click "Fedora 39 Setup Guide" on the right-hand side: https://frame.work/linux

Vincent, to linux in Firefox 121 Now Available With Wayland Enabled By Default

I wouldn't worry about it too much; there's not really anything you need to do as a user anyway.

Vincent, to linux in Why are gnome devs like this?

This is so rude. You've done nothing for the guy (neither have I), and have probably used and benefited from his work (that we did not pay for) in some way - and then to single him out and ridicule him? There's an actual human on the other side there...

Vincent, (edited ) to linux in December Updates: The Spirit of COSMIC

No one would want to build applications for a platform that lacks widgets capable of properly displaying, formatting, and editing text.

Is the idea that people are only going to be running Iced applications in COSMIC? It feels to me like the realistic option would be that, if COSMIC ever becomes daily-drivable, people would still be using GTK applications with it, at least at first. Might as well use a GTK text editor then? Then System76 could focus on building a text editor after COSMIC is a thing, and COSMIC would hopefully arrive sooner (or even at all - this looks like the path to burnout).

Vincent, to linux in Firefox 122 Enters Public Beta Testing with Improved Built-In Translation Feature

I think it's just because some things have country-specific formats. For example, if you want to prefill credit card details, you have to figure out how the credit card fields are labelled.

Vincent, to comicstrips in Krampus - Sarah's Scribbles (Sarah Andersen)

Just wait until corporate finds out what the Dutch Krampus looks like 🙈

Vincent, to linux in Is there any future for the GTK-based Desktop Environments?

Well, then I'd highly suggest you just use Xfce and not worry about GNOME so much. Xfce hasn't changed much in years.

Vincent, to linux in Firefox Sidebar Addon like Brave or Vivaldi?

"The browser chrome" is the name historically given to the parts of the browser that are not the website. Then Google created a web browser and decided to name it after it - but userChrome.css existed before the browser Chrome did :)

Vincent, (edited ) to privacyguides in Signal details costs of keeping its private messaging service alive | TechCrunch

Haha exactly, by that calculation $1 a year would cover you and two others. Get that family onboard :)

A Mozilla dependent on Google seeing value in Firefox sending searches their way is at minimum as good as one in which Mozilla doesn't exist and everybody uses Chromium-based browsers, by definition - and in practice, way better.

But yes, more non-Blink engines in use in general would also be a better world. Alas, that, too, isn't the world we live in.

Vincent, to privacyguides in Brave appears to install VPN Services without user consent

I mean, yes, it could've been differently, and as I understand it they're going to. But as a user, how is your life worse with this than without this? What's the impact of something being installed but not running?
