I have issues with memory usage and crashing with Chrome, but you don't see me filling up threads about Chrome with posts about the isolated issues I'm having with it. It's not relevant. Put bugs in bugzilla, please.

Read upthread. This change was always promised to the buyers of the cheap model 3 on purchase, as the software to restrict these features was not complete then. It is now, and is being applied.

It's just bad regulation, performed by incompetent or corrupt governments. Down here in NZ we have excellent telecoms regulation performed by competent government. Specifically, copper/fibre last mile lines are owned by companies

Those donations go to supporting Mozilla Foundation's advocacy work, not Mozilla Corporation's work on Firefox.

Why on earth do systemd haters insist on capitalizing the D? It's really amazing how people think mistyping the name is some kind of useful or novel criticism of the software.

Yep, absolutely. It may not happen next year, but it will happen. The point at which this move became obvious is when they gave up on EdgeHTML and switched to Blink. Just like web engines, operating systems are hard . They require a lot of

All signing certificates expire. They must. It's a fundamental part of the security model, because otherwise a malicious actor could take an old, comprimised cert and inject it into Firefox, allowing them to run malicious 'signed&

Extensions have dramatically more access to powerful APIs to affect the browser. They can be used to perform a great variety of annoying, intrusive or downright malicious actions which a website is incapable of. Of course they have much mor

First, take a deep breath and calm down. No one category of addon is more affected by this than any other, and Mozilla has no way of 'fixing ad blockers' before anything else. Once the signing certificate is replaced, all addons w

I don't know if you've forgotten, but under that old use case (hundreds of tabs in one process), Firefox would bog down further and further as background tabs stole more and more main thread time, eventually only a restart of the

Hmm, I'm not sure switching to a closed source browser is in any way an upgrade... Especially when you could switch to the unbranded/nightly firefox builds, disable addon signature checking and continue using the only independent

Valve made L4D2. Or at least did a significant portion of the work. The problem with Epic is that they are either paying publishers for timed exclusives, or purchasing publishers outright in order to create artificial monopolies, and rest

I don't think anyone has a problem with Epic making their own games exclusive - the problem is that Epic is bribing other publishers and now purchasing developers to create artifical little monopolies which force the consumer to use th

Everyone does it because it DOES work, and that's the awful part for consumers.

It's a shell to a real os. It's not based on Android. Someone needs to build it into a device image (i.e. distro) before you can use it, though.

It reinforces Google's control of the internet, and helps convince webmasters that the only browser they need to test for is Chrome.

Unbound resolves to root DNS servers. They are the authorities on the domains they advertise.

I live in NZ, and run my own DNS server. It's just unbound on pfsense, super simple. The good thing is when my ISP started blocking websites after the Christchurch attacks, I didn't even notice. (They were simple DNS blocks.)

Does this have a value proposition over a standalone manager like Bitwarden? Saying this as an avowed firefox user and fan. I long ago abandoned browser password managers due to awful security practices like storing passwords in plaintext i

Now that you mention it, I do use unbound on my router. I should check to see if you're right, though I can't right now. There is no mandatory block in place, that much I am sure. Such a thing could not be put in place without me

Fairly sure we don't. We have a hyper competitive ISP market, nobody does any kind of website slowing here. We don't really need NN in law.

Kiwi here. This block was not initiated by the government, as far as I can tell. I believe certain ISPs blocked the sites preemptively, as the block is not in place on my connection. Thankfully, NZ has no mandatory internet filtering, thoug

Link is inaccurate. 4chan and 8chan are not blocked on my NZ home connection. I can only presume this is a preemptive action by certain ISPs. There is no mandatory internet filter in NZ.

Is that still true with Rust?
