Someone yesterday mentioned this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-url-in-c... As I understand it, that would allow you to add a bookmark for `ext+container:name=MyContainer&u

On [1], also note that Firefox's sync is end-to-end encrypted by default. Contrast that to https://palant.info/2023/08/29/chrome-sync-privacy-is-still-... .

I'm not sure if we have reliable data on desktop computer usage stats, but I think a large part of the decline is also correlated with that - along with never having been able to significantly gain market share on mobile, which is re

The encryption method is detailed here, that might potentially (not sure, as I don't know what KDF is) answer your question: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/11/firefox-sync-privacy/ But encryption does de

But for that, presumably X11 will always be available? It's just that nobody has stepped up to make sure it keeps working with new hardware and software.

by Vinnl 3y ago
Wasn't the issue that X wasn't a great user experience - screen tearing, bugs, etc? There's some argument to be had for what features are "basic", but as far as I know, I've been on Wayland for a couple of ye

I think one thing to keep in mind is that just because something is available in the browser, that doesn't mean that all other approaches are suddenly moot and will never be able to displace it - XMLHTTPRequest is also still available,

Wow, I'm actually a pretty big fan of the original Observable, so on the one hand I'm pretty happy about that (assuming it will get standardised, rather than being a Chrome-only API). But on the other hand, indeed, like signals, I

While I agree with the general gist of the article (and please, yes, it seems like a minor thing, but give us resizable iframes), except that "reactivity" does not meet the bar of developers collectively having landed on a solutio

Weird - I have the exact same FP4+/e/OS combination, and it doesn't feel laggy at all for me. Granted, I've never had a top-line phone, but still.

Oh, I think it's absolutely clear that they're referring to those attacks. However, you said that they didn't want footage of those attacks in general to be spread, rather than misinformation about those attacks. So as fa
