Are you opening it in a (Facebook) container perhaps?

Captive portal detection was only brought up by the non-constructive commenter and isn't part of the problem. When the setting labelled "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" is unchecked, the brows

Just as a courtesy I'll let you know that I won't bite here. This is entirely pointless.

It makes these connections even when all the things mentioned in the official "How to stop Firefox from making automatic connections"[1] are disabled. This includes the captive portal detection you allude to. Regardless: The brows

This statement is false. Even with all telemetry disabled (including the option "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla") and without anything showing on that page, the browser still sends out interaction

Insofar as what the jurisdictions the website operators are beholden to or perhaps care about have to say about it, but otherwise I (not a laywer) share your perspective.

There's plenty of proof to the contrary for the majority of extensions, including their recommended ones. See this article (not by myself) and comment thread from two weeks ago for further details: https://www.coloursofosint

Not all places in the world share the same set of laws or jurisprudence. What's allowed or required and what isn't is entirely dependent on the jurisdiction(s) the website operators are beholden to.

Cheers! It looks to be slightly more limited compared to Goodreads (e.g. no expanded series/universes, no different reading orders, etc.) but its the best alternative so far.

Only use it to see if/where a book belongs to/in a series. No other aggregate-type website seems to provide this information in any usable fashion.

There are places in the world where police will come and knock on your door if you search for "barbie" or visit some foreign news website that has posted something critical about your country's regime. You might even encourag

Perhaps, but you'll have to admit those numbers are far from insignificant and on top of that represent things that are rather more impactful than mere personal blogs such as even critical Dutch government services.

Without meaning to imply anything, I do suppose that powering much of the western internet does indeed equal having much power over the internet.

Seems like I didn't keep it around, but it amounted to a description of the violation, some reproduction steps where applicable, and essentially a stacktrace for the offending code in the distributed extension package (xpi) and in the

I believe that these connections should also appear in the browser console[1], otherwise you could always log the traffic[2] or inspect/debug any individual extension[3]. You will be amazed at the obvious extension policy violations Mo

I stand corrected! Glad you were here to do so. My confusion must have come from mixed terminology being used by others than yourself on GitHub and in articles about your project I skimmed through when looking into it. The project might sti

Edit: The project does not run on "docker machine" as per the graceful correction by OrbStack's developer below[2]. It's a proprietary container interface that - as far as I could tell - runs on the outdated and unsuppor

No need to simplify so much that only false dichotomies remain. My brain might be wired up differently but its capacity for nuance and reason is fully intact :) No one is forcing the website owners to sign up with Cloudflare to enable this

Cloudflare is "helping" more than enough already, but thanks for the suggestions. Besides, those solutions have far too much in common with blackmail/extortion to my liking. Either you continue to suffer this structural haras

The amount of times Cloudflare is making me sit through their 15 to 30 second "checking your connection" page is insane. For people going through life with ADHD such as myself, the impact of all these delays and disruptions throug

There are several countries where Google is required to offer something along these lines by law rather than as a marketing stunt. Wikipedia has some info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_be_forgotten
