In my experience, the person you're asking for permission is a middle manager, who will almost certainly see your request as more power for them and less power for you, aka office politics. The minute they give you what you want, you d

I've never considered Edge because it didn't have extensions at launch. The maximum time I could tolerate a browser without an ad blocker was just long enough to download another browser. It actually looks like there are extension

I switched from Chrome to Firefox a few months ago and I'm very happy with it. Day to day, the biggest difference I notice is that my adblocker extension works on Android, no more "[vibrate] omg ur phone haz been hax0red download

I've seen a few systems mixing up their clocks, sometimes using the database server clock, sometimes the web server clock, sometimes the user's local clock. Whatever clock you're using, be consistent about it. Users can and d

Yeah I'd be happy with that approach, should include upgrades as well as new installs though. Just to have every user aware that their browsers contain a single setting that can prevent vast amounts of tracking would be a huge improvem

When I click the link to this article all I see is a terms and conditions document which I don't agree to. I should not have to sacrifice privacy just to read a public web page. The content pasted below for those who can't see it

It's off by default. To enable it you have to go into about:config. I'm saying it should be on by default, or at least exposed in the Settings for people to find. The concern about doing that was that some sites would break, but t

Blocking Third-Party Cookies is a nice option, but it would be better if those settings were for full-blown First Party Isolation instead.
