By the way, assuming I'm running Wayland - anyone maybe knows a way for me to check if any of the apps I have/run are using X11?

It's also an incentive for the apps to use Wayland which is a good thing.

Another use case would be protection from inflation - if you're in a country which prints money carelessly or for political reasons. Of course you could say that Bitcoin is worthless and not proved as store of value, but that's no

Yeah, I agree with you about the Ethereum part.

I'm not sure what do the number mean. Percentage of users running Firefox using Wayland WM/DE or percentage of users running Firefox with enabled Wayland support? These numbers in theory could be dramatically different, as Firefox

It was his choice to sign that deal though.

I think that if enough exit nodes would be owned by let's say government agencies they would be able to correlate requested domains with actual requester IP.
