Better late than never, I guess? The question I meant to answer wasn't about timing but about whether the fine is a result of lobbying.

Social pressure to be on instagram seems to be growing. For years I could get by with facebook, and my phone number / whatsapp for close enough friends. I'm now on instagram after a bunch of people I met independently in Berlin, A

NaCL is more like Google's ActiveX. wasm directly builds upon the experience and success Mozilla had with asm.js.

You mean Reader View? I believe Safari pioneered this, Firefox has it too. Not sure about Chrome and Edge.

FYI, for visually impaired users, Windows has offered dark high contrast themes since about forever. I say visually impaired because these themes use some weird colors that unimpaired users likely won't appreciate. These high contrast

You're missing that you can still configure the browser to your needs? You seem to be a power user so you can do this. Mozilla cares about average users too, and doesn't have control over OS defaults that may not be optimal for av

I don't understand how you're trying to spin this. If you only want to look at the people working directly on military projects (a restriction that I'm not sure makes sense in the first place), the number of people who signed

It's already happening for loads of other, often good reasons. It's called urbanization. You can try to resist the future but you cannot stop it. You might just as well embrace it. How exactly does that seem backwards?

Using Facebook in private windows only is a reasonable workaround that achieves roughly the same if you're disciplined. The addon is more user friendly.

It's quite unlikely that the options would be as clear cut as "delete the Google container addon or close down Mozilla." Note that Mozilla has just recently operated roughly two years I think without a contract with Google.

What I said is perfectly valid. Parent company is a well-defined term that doesn't apply here. Now, may Google try to put pressure on Mozilla? Sure. Would Mozilla obey? Possibly...? None of this means that this has actually happened or

I'm also enjoying completely meaningless ads as I lie to them about my gender.

That tracking protection is a good enough ad blocker for me is absolutely wrong? You do realize that tracking protection actually blocks ads, don't you?

Mozilla and Google have a business contract with a well-defined scope. Google has a similar contract with Apple. Google isn't Mozilla's parent company just as it isn't Apple's.

As the page explains: it prevents Facebook from tracking you across the Web.

by dao- 9y ago
Ah, okay. I still don't see how this would undo preventing Facebook from knowing what websites you visit. The location of your PC seems like an entirely separate data point.

Sure, they will still track you as best as they can (though as I said Facebook doesn't have geolocation access on desktop). This doesn't change the fact that without your browsing profile, Facebook will have less knowledge about y

Firefox has tracking protection. It's a pretty effective ad blocker for me.

by dao- 9y ago
What's your point? Facebook still won't know what websites you visit on your PC. It also doesn't have geolocation access there unless you explicitly grant it.

What do you mean, "when"? This makes it sound like we could fix Capitalism by banning banks and investors or something. They're inherent to this system. Institutionalized loans were a corner stone when Capitalism emerged a co

Wow, so your comment was even more useless. Or was it a joke that I didn't get? The challenge was "prove me wrong" (with the opinion that I just uttered), not "disprove that this is my opinion".

Uh, opinions can still be proven wrong. Contrary to public postmodern belief, opinions are falsifiable.

Your host file, hmm. Maybe something based on disconnect.me. If you're mostly worried about the browser (which seems sensible for most users), you can just enable tracking protection in Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org&#
