It isn't a non-sequitur, he offered a solution for users that would like different settings, while choosing not to engage in pointless arguments. While professional courtesy is recommended, maintainers don't really owe an explanat

Are you talking about the comment that closed the ticket [1]? Are we not seeing the same thing, because that's not a " top draw dick " I'm seeing. He was perfectly reasonable. And I don't know if you've ever ma

It is regrettable that this comment got down-voted (at the moment of writing this). I very much agree — and I would add that there's a strong entitlement complex among loud non-contributors. If you don't contribute anything but op

OK, at what point does it become complicated enough to just implement that shit client side? :-)

So ... you're expecting them to log your searches for later analysis, or at least meta data about your searches. That's what they promise to not do and the whole point behind many people's decision to use them. And it might b

Yeah, let's violate privacy instead.

Both Firefox and Chrome have custom search keywords: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-search-from-address... I maintain a set of such keywords in my Firefox, that I use on iOS and Android too. The easiest

Google is a big target for law enforcement though. The EU for example can't wait to slap them with another huge fine. Go here and turn your "web and app activity", your "location history" and "ad personalisatio

In what way are Chrome's dev tools better? I got used to Firefox's dev tools and can't find my way around in Chrome's.

Speaking of leaks, I never understood why people use DDG's bangs. By using bangs you're sending your search history to DDG even when using search engines that aren't DDG.

You should fear your local government most, of course, but it does not follow that given the choice you should pick foreign solutions, quite the contrary. As a citizen you have rights guaranteed by the law in your own country. That's t

If you're technologically illiterate, this might be true. Witness however Firefox for Android (vs iOS), the most important differences for me being: - Extensions support, so uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, the best ad-blocking combinati

This is true and regrettable, but that skin is still important. I get to use Firefox, it comes with nice tracker blocking out of the box, it keeps my history in sync with my other devices and I find the UI to be a little nicer (personal tas

Funny thing, but especially given the Covid situation and worries about crops, now they want those low skilled Poles, Romanians and Bulgarians back, fighting over them with Germany, Spain, Italy, etc.

So you're invoking popularity, but I don't understand what that has to do with it. I use web apps all the time, even on mobile. And I'm sure I'm not alone. Speaking of which Fastmail's Android and iOS apps are just

Well no, a claim is made and that is... unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. And this is then used as an argument in debates such as this one. Are there documented cases of this happening or is it just a wild gue

You shouldn't believe me or Plato, unless you like religion. You should believe in empirical evidence. Is it based on empirical evidence? Is it based for example on longitudinal social studies? The answer is no. And certainly absence o

No, just a logical fallacy.

Sorry, not falling in that trap ;-)

The paradox of tolerance is bullshit though, as it's not based on empirical evidence. It's just armchair philosophy used as justification for intolerance by intellectuals, the mental gymnastic people need to get over their cogniti

On Android you can use web apps in Firefox, with content blocking powered by uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger. This is because Android allows real Firefox, engine and all and Firefox implements the web push API. This gives you unmatched pri

I'm an iPhone user and I actually want an Android for privacy reasons. Safari on iOS is inferior to Firefox with uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger. Also Safari might have content blockers (inferior, but better than nothing), however iOS

Not sure about fat retention, I don't think there's any evidence for that. But I agree with the claim that companies are trying to game the numbers now and the products might not be healthy. Back in the day you had companies adver

It's accurate indeed, it has useful info on vitamins and minerals. Some people use it for that and not for calorie counting. It also makes estimating home cooked meals doable because everything comes measured in grams. You just insert

Edge does not (e2e) encrypt your synced browsing history and your bookmarks. In the help pages Microsoft tries to weasel itself out of it by talking about TLS or encryption "at rest". Chrome on the other hand can do end to end enc
