Yes, like publishing a new article every day just to prove their commitment to end-users' privacy.

Incremental updates to articles, hosted literally on home page, with details of newer privacy features is so old school.

Got it. Thanks for the clarification.

Incorrect, that's actually from 2022 B.C.

And your other page was 2018

Correct, the snap of article from 2018 looks exactly identical to 2024 instance with ZERO modifications. Mozilla finally gave us on Privacy it seems, as no one bothered to update that page since 2018.

Wait a sec, they also haven't updated this article as well since 2020. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browsers/compare/chrome/

~~but Mozilla itself doesn’t want to broach the topic.~~

Again, a reminder that Mozilla plans to continue support for the Manifest Version 2 blocking WebRequest API (this API powers, for example, uBlock Origin) while simultaneously supporting Manifest Version 3.

~~Years ago, Mozilla would explicitly call ad blocking a privacy feature, and proclaim it explicitly.~~

Ahem! https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/ > https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/adblocker/

Cooking up conspiracy theory instead of research is easy, is not it?

... because Mozilla already clarified their position on this last year.

TL;DR

No, Mozilla is NOT ditching manifest v2.

Well what’s happening with MV2 you ask? Great question – in case you missed it, Google announced late last year their plans to resume their MV2 deprecation schedule. Firefox, however, has no plans to deprecate MV2 and will continue to support MV2 extensions for the foreseeable future. And even if we re-evaluate this decision at some point down the road, we anticipate providing a notice of at least 12 months for developers to adjust accordingly and not feel rushed.

Those won't can access it from Firefox on Linux, use User-Agent Switcher add-on as a workaround.

Do you really think Google will give up on their pole position because of this verdict?

In India, the share of Linux desktop became double just within one year (from 8% to 16%). I only hope this data is right.

Just installed it, and my initial impression -

  • Thanks for dark mode :)
  • UI responsiveness is good.
  • Need an option to increase/decrease width of reading pane.
  • Need multiple themes like Wikipedia website.
  • Require smooth scrolling (I'm on 240 Hz monitor but scroll doesn't feel smooth on this app, though apparently uses GPU acceleration)

I was reading somewhere that Intel will publish a tool to verify that.

Anyone tried this beta version yet? Any idea how stable it is?

Thanks for the additional details.

The scariest part of this whole problem is there is no way for the owners of i13/14 CPU to figure out to what extent the CPU is damaged. It's like holding a ticking bomb without knowing when that will go off!

 

To get started with the real-time kernel for Ubuntu 24.04, check out the official documentation. One thing to keep in mind if you’re an NVIDIA GPU user is that the real-time Ubuntu kernel does not support the proprietary NVIDIA graphics drivers.

 

The Register has learned from those involved in the browser trade that Apple has limited the development and testing of third-party browser engines to devices physically located in the EU. That requirement adds an additional barrier to anyone planning to develop and support a browser with an alternative engine in the EU.

It effectively geofences the development team. Browser-makers whose dev teams are located in the US will only be able to work on simulators. While some testing can be done in a simulator, there's no substitute for testing on device – which means developers will have to work within Apple's prescribed geographical boundary.

... as Mozilla put it – to make it "as painful as possible for others to provide competitive alternatives to Safari."

 

note: ClamAV is a separate, distinct project whose development is overseen by the Talos Group, at Cisco Systems and is not affected by this decision
