I'm really looking forward to enable the feature on my personal computer. But as long as Firefox DoH ignores my /etc/hosts configuration, I won't use it. I hope it's just a matter of time before they fix this :)

I'm probably missing the point, I use groups in Signal but I never faced any issue. I'm probably not a power user. Can you provide more details please? I'm curious about it. Thanks :)

This is pretty sad, but Apple was doing this as well. Less mean tho. But at every restart of Chrome, I had a notification to use Safari. https://twitter.com/mxwllt/status/882190696224083968

Sadly this is not new. Back in the days (at least in 2013) I played with wireshark to find out what dating apps were sharing with advertising platform to generate banners. There was the following data: - OS platform with version - Prefered

Hell yes! Even for my podcasts. One place for everything, no algorithm to mess it up. I'll cry the day a GAFA will use their power to kill it.

From a user point of view on Firefox, Google captcha is a an absolute hell. Every single time I have to pass few batches of captchas. I'm not on a private window and I'm logged in to Google. So I started to blacklist websites that

I don't find the data precise enough to make conclusions. Yes, we spend more time on social apps, but it's also our main way of communication. I wouldn't be surprised to know that 80% of the time spend is in private conversat

It has clearer instructions for sure, but you got the icons right (at least for Instagram, the borders are rounded). It's enough to make me use it! Because the ones from detoxyfy are pure square on my home screen, and just because of t

It's interesting to hear, knowing the the lack of XSS Auditor on Firefox for years was a recurrent topic on Bugzilla. Even IE and Safari got similar protections. Curious to see if the XSSs I found over the years will now work on Chrome

I find the initiative interesting, at least to realise how much of our daily browsing is hosted on AWS. I will give a go for sure!

Thanks for the explanation! So, any software running on my computer can access it without my permission?

Does it mean that passwords are stored in clear? If not, how other browsers manage to import this data? Sorry if the question is silly

So far, none. Google podcast is pretty basic (feature-wise) to be honest. But being forced to give access to location and web history was a big turn off to me. However I found PodByte on the PlayStore that fit my small podcast needs without

That's a good question! But for something under 100Kb it should be pretty quick. Curious to know how long it takes for a whole MB. Update: Actually, I was too optimistic : https://divan.github.io/posts/animatedqr&#

I completely understand, it's in their right, absolutely. However, once you disable the tracking, the UI no longer show the address and even say "Set location" under Home address and Work address. This let you think that Goog

Really? I got everything disabled in myactivity.google.com (except YouTube history, I need this), but I can still do searches in Maps. Have you tried from another device or browser?

But the funny part is Google keep your saved addresses. It only block the access. If you have your home and/or work address set in Gmaps, and you disable all tracking in myactivity.google.com. The address will disappear and GMaps will
