It depends on what the webapps are doing. That said, if they work in Chrome right now they will also work in Firefox 68.

If it's just HTML + CSS and no script, everything will work correctly. The release note refers to script access (XHR, DOM access across windows).

That "command substitution" bit will fail on tcsh, say, last I checked.

In Firefox? Yes. Set the "network.trr.excluded-domains" pref in about:config to a comma-separated list of the things you want to exclude.

Excellent! I haven't followed the C standards as closely; glad they added this as well.

Consider the following statements: 1) The standard says I must do this, so I must do it. 2) The standard doesn't say I must not do this (but does allow me to either do it or not do it), so it's totally OK if I do it. I think you&#

Modern Russian has no difference between paternal/maternal aunt/uncle (though there are apparently archaic forms that denote the difference that no one uses). On the other hand, it has different words for "wife's mother&

This is happening way before the JIT phase, at the parsing phase. And the reason it can't be as fast as a JSON parse is explained in the article: The grammar of JSON is much simpler. The literal parser in normal JS needs to deal with

If you load about:telemetry in Firefox, it will tell you what information is being collected, link to various documentation, etc. It also tells you whether telemetry is actually enabled right now or not, and links to the preference sectio

The key insight is that "contribute" can mean different things, and it's worth broadening one's definition of "contribute". The J.S. Bach example really struck me in this regard.

The same people who were in charge of opening up security bugs are still around and still in charge of it. Security bugs are opened up once in-the-wild usage of affected versions is low enough, if I recall correctly. This usually takes a w

IE definitely participated in web standards at the time. Certainly in CSS. They were not as good at bending standards groups to their will as Google has been, for various reasons, which is why standards did not always match their proposed

I think you have the causality backwards. What I said is that in practice only the powerless and unpopular will get silenced, not that silencing will make people powerless and unpopular. That is, in practice this will likely get applied a

A literal reading of their new restrictions as quoted in the article would in fact make a bunch of Trump's campaign speeches fall under the restrictions. And while I'd much rather he had not made those speeches or that people had

Thank you, that explanation helps. I think there's a difference between "you can speak" and "you can speak in such a way that interested people can hear". The former is not very useful in terms of the right people

That seems probable, yes. What if you set up a booth in a shopping mall in the spring of 2016 in California or Massachusetts and gave away pro-Trump stickers? I assure you there are plenty of people out there in both states, many of them l

There are all sorts of flaws in the analogies here; that's why they're analogies, not identities. That said, I'm not quite sure I understand your point. A speaker in physical space can pretty easily take their speech elsewhe

On the other hand, a privately owned shopping mall is legally a "public square" in a number of states in the US, with the justification that it is explicitly a place for people to gather and interact, just like the main street of

Safari does not block all 3rd party cookies by default last I checked. It does something a lot more complicated that still allows 3rd party cookies in various cases.
