What are these bugs that people encounter that often in Firefox? I've been using using Firefox on Linux and Mac for a long time now and I'm yet to see any bug(a rare occurrence) that is a show stopper(for me atleast).

Think of it as a way for Google coercing websites into implementing WEI. Any site can be marked as insecure if it doesn't block non wei compliant devices. You may ask why does that make a website insecure? They can give any number of r

If it does, then Adobe would have commissioned or acquired the license. In either case they would have _paid_ someone to get those images. It is very unlikely Adobe would be shipping their software with copyrighted material without paying f

Are they really comparable? Can you use CDK to deploy to say Azure or GCP ? If it's limited only to AWS, even if someone offers a better version, Amazon still wins at the end of the day.

Switching to linux is a good option but the ideal solution is one where coporations do not or are not allowed to collect telemetry by default. Microsoft has normalized default optout telemetry in the OS, IDE & developer tooling and now

Some systems have a setting to disable touchpad for x milliseconds after a key press. Do we need something similar for microphones too?

Holdout sounds like it is explicitly added to ward off any criticisms insinuating DRM. If a server is not denying access for clients with no valid attestation then what exactly are the servers gaining from implementing WEI? CAPTCHAs also re

I cannot trust a known thief and let them into my house based on their promise not to steal. I have no way of knowing if they are honest or not and even if they are there's no guarantee that they won't change their mind later.I ca

There are many arguments against this but not many brought the implications for search engines. If websites implement this, it will effectively make building a web search engine impossible for new entrants. The current players can whitelist

This not only requires Google but websites also need to implement. The problem is given the number of Google's services, it can easily "nudge" site owners into implementing it. They can make it mandatory for adwords or analy

First, there's nothing to patch as it would probably need a cryptographic challenge response flow and not a simple yes or no. Even if there's a patch, it would be difficult because there are other pieces of attestation that are al

This approach is not mischief proof and will become an easy way to get back at the owners and/or your neighbors. All a thief has to do is trigger enough false alarms (directly or indirectly) to annoy you and the neighborhood that you e

There may not be an outright conspiracy, but I will not be surprised if OEMs are discouraged from (re)introducing physical switches on popular and mass market devices.

I'm not justifying any law here. Saying a law is bad because it is passed in nationalistic fervor is a weak argument. It is a government's right and responsibility to make laws of their land and whether a law is passed because the

I don't see how we can call this nationalistic politics. I'm sure if a (hypothetical) Canadian big-tech impacted news organizations similarly, they would also have been a target of this law. Many of the biggest tech have origins i
