Firefox for Android also has built-in tracking protection. This will only block ads that track you, but wink .

At 21TFLOPS for 400 USD it has good potential in the machine learning field, yes. AFAIK AMD is busy pushing out support for MIOpen into Tensorflow etc.

I think there's unfortunately examples where something being reasonably widespread did not stop it from being persecuted heavily.

What's the exact part of the DRM that bothers you? Personally I hate the restrictions such as "4K only on Kaby Lake with Edge etc" and I downgraded my subscription because of it.

It's worth looking at the actual presentation. It looks like they didn't buy the data, but used social engineering attacks.

The pair found that 95% of the data they obtained came from 10 popular browser extensions. So uhm, which ones are these and how did the researchers obtain the data? (Bought it?) Edit: The answer to the second question is: social engineeri

I didn't get this, but the site is pulling tons of ads from all kinds of places, so god knows where that was coming from. Enable tracking protection or use uBlock Origin. Did you mean you revoked and it still asked, or it asked, and yo

They got rid of the star rating system which was the only thing sort of making discovery of the few non-garbage items possible. It's quite interesting given that they organized a huge machine learning competition just for that.

It's not just ISA. If a competitor to AMD or Intel came out with a chip that requires recompiles, but is significantly ahead of them in a key metric, it would sell in the server market. But competing with Intel and AMD takes billions o

Stuff using Intel's compiler or maths libraries is going to suck, somewhat. Other stuff, that's just using MSVC/gcc/clang/llvm code targeted to Skylake/Haswell etc will run just fine, as Zen's microarch is

If it was in GCC it would be possible to get a setup that makes it consistently reproducible, nor probabilistic as it is now.

Doesn't block it generally, or doesn't block it for the "Get Add-ons" page? The latter is expected. The former isn't. In any case you should report this to the author, not here.

It's trivial to support the most common alternatives. Seems harder to add arbitrary support.

WebExtensions are never active on about:* pages, that's a documented design choice not specific to content blockers or GA or whatever. Note that old-style extensions do work and currently still block this.

You'd still see an installation doorhanger. Fore sure, this will leak info you'd rather not, but I see no evidence it allows de-anonymization. If it did, any custom tracking NoScript doesn't know about would defeat Tor. And t

I dunno about you but debit and credit card terminal failures are rather typical around Black Friday like situations.

I guess SwiftShader fallbacks are Windows only huh.

Thank you! This is really useful.

by gcp 9y ago
Why would this allow de-anonymization? Does the request not go through the Tor network?

Simply respecting DNT (which is the fix that was proposed) works out to the same.

Siloing the GA data that is obtained from Mozilla (required by the contract Mozilla has with Google) would stop the privacy-breaking aspects (which exist due to aggregating over sites). But this may be a case where even though Mozilla is t

Apparently it's an awesome product. I stopped using it myself because I didn't want to deal with EU cookie notices, which is why I'm surprised to see claims here they are compatible with EU cookie laws.
266.
by gcp 9y ago
The general consensus is that normal GA tracking alone does not meet the standards to trigger either the EU or the stricter Dutch cookie notification requirements since they are using first-party cookies not tied to PII and don't foll

All the features and technical improvements they might hope to ship in the next several months are irrelevant compared to this single issue. Which "single issue" is that then? That AMO is using GA (and has been for years)? Or th

It's only a false equivalence because you just moved your goalposts from "no tracking/analytics" in the original post to consent. If Mozilla devs adhered to the ethos of the company they took a job at they simply would

It's more that the people implementing and reviewing the feature (cough) didn't expect about:* pages to end up loading frigging Google Analytics.
