It's also about evangelization, I think. I bet that there is a substantial amount of users of Firefox that do not know what a VPN is, nor how to choose among the very many providers. Without entering in the merit of the choice of provi

This is exactly the problem: Some emails you can’t respond because they require taking actions, so they stay in the inbox to remind you. And then it’s the broken window principle... one cool thing I recently found is that on Trello you can

My biggest impediment in adopting org for publishing, and knowledge management is the lack of really good UX on iOS. Does anyone know of other good editors/apps on IOS that support the org markup? (I’m ok with managing the publishing i

To be clear I was not endorsing the current system, as much as observing that monetary incentives are powerful motivators for companies to change their behavior. Also, not all currencies require income: when using DuckDuckGo instead of Gooo

This is why I reward, and will keep rewarding Apple with my money. In a capitalistic system, voting with dollars may effect the change that voting with ballots may not.

My question was rhetorical :-). I agree with you that it is harder and noisier to perform fingerprinting, but I still wish for Mozilla to evangelize a more complete solution. The current one creates a somewhat sense of false security, in my
