How do you know that? I find it weird that three different mobiles from three different manufacturers use exactly the same camera.

I am sure more sites would work with IE6 than with the default configuration of NoScript.

A honest thought: the typical user of NoScript won't fall for those ads, I think.

No they do not deserve anything they and their ancestors haven't worked for. Nobody just "deserves" anything.

The ancestors of that pussy in Paris built an advanced society with equal rights, education, respect, etc. That's why people born from a French pussy deserve that, while people from other societies do not. Is it our fault that other pe

Problem with these is that many caching proxies consider all resources with a query string to be dynamically generated and won't cache them at all, which in the case of js/css/etc is bad

Essential code such as what? Can't you boot AOSP without installing the Google apps?

There are three approaches: 1. Create a browser with ad blocking builtin or possible with addons (like Firefox). 2. Create a local proxy that blocks ads, and make the user configure it as the system proxy. 3. Require root privileges and do

Your dishwasher potentially flooding your house doesn't sound bad enough to you? What if you have wood floors? What if water shorted electrical devices? All of this could cost you thousands in repairs.

So you tell me it's reasonable that a frozen tab makes the whole browser unresponsive. Nice.
53.
by tarancato 10y ago
I have an easy metric for that: when you're navigating, look at the "loading" spinner on the tab bar, and see how it almost always freezes every time a page is being drawn. DOM painting/manipulation times in Gecko are a

If you think FF is responsive, there are two options: 1) you haven't compared it to Chrome/WebKit/Edge, or 2) you don't run heavy applications such as TweetDeck on it. And FF-OS was a complete OS that ran on Gecko, so ye

Seriously... I avoid Firefox on my (rather beefy) desktop because of how much it freezes. I don't want to imagine how it worked on a 50€ phone, which looked like it was their target. Maybe they thought Gecko would be ready by the time

They are a political organisation and their ideas conflict with mine. I don't keep a strong boycott on them, but I don't want to support their products, that's all.

I don't like the EFF, but I guess I will have to use Let's Encrypt if there's no other option.

So I don't like Let's Encrypt, if Mozilla "kills" WoSign/StartCom, what are my options if I want a cert for free?
