But the post is about integrating it into the browser, isn't it?
- Piskvorrr 8y agoWhich is exactly why the service won't query the plaintext, or even a complete hash.
- auslander 8y agoBut how do I keep not using it?
- oblio 8y agoThe same way I don't use Pocket or the Edit Controls in Firefox, or Pivot Tables in Excel. You don't click them :)
- auslander 8y agoIts all about defaults, what matters most, as it'll be used by majority of users. People will use whatever pops up or was put on taskbar.
- oblio 8y agoAgreed. However, for the average user, I think the risk posed by this new Firefox feature is smaller than the risk they're exposing themselves through ignorance.
- auslander 8y agoDisagree. Respectfully :) Today we have age of free data harvest, 'land grab' by majors. Shining combination of your email, IP and user-agent as a default browser behaviour is just another leak.
- Piskvorrr 8y agoAgain: no-email-exposed-never-not-even-encrypted-or-hashed. So just an IP address and user agent; if that is a leak, I would recommend disconnecting from the network altogether.
