Going further: why does Firefox allow site operators to dictate common user interface restrictions? Infantile developer behaviors like disabling paste in the password field? Or bona fide on page text that cannot be selected in the browser w

… which is why it is so frustrating (and damning) that Firefox does not make it simple to block all of these measurements. To whatever degree this is, indeed, a technical problem. There’s a simple choke point that is being intentionally unu

It need not be that extreme… what with the theft and confiscation of property, etc. A much milder, and more sensible, expression of your underlying sentiment is: If an activity becomes this essential, the government should provide a competi

An important nit I need to pick… These are items you receive along with your insurance. They are not insurable events and they are not “covered” like an insurable event. Predictable, regularly occurring events cannot be covered by insur

I do the same. Not only does my mail usage not generate any outbound network traffic, nor follow any links, but I can also inspect and edit URLs without following them.

Your analogy suggests a deferment of taxes paid but not elimination. In your example, they still own all the gold and would eventually pay taxes on any liquidation. I bring this up because I, too, am as interested in your parent to know the

"Ads and privacy are not fundamentally opposed" I agree with this. There was a (brief) period when website advertisements were simple, first party hosted image files. IIRC, the first text ads on metafilter (2001 ?) were just stri

It is deeply disappointing how poorly Apple implements privacy tools and technologies. To wit: It is 2025 and you cannot configure a DoH endpoint in Safari on either iOS or OSX. Further, enabling DoH in iOS involves an experts-only plist
