It just looks different. It's more of a list of tiles now than a list of rows, if that makes sense.

The person you replied to is correct, and your link confirms it:

An extension with broad permissions can access all tabs and browsing data

The extension does not just have this access, it has to request it from the user first.

Of course, an extension can request access to all browsing data, but Firefox will tell you about that before you install it. And better still, the extension this post is about, doesn't even request this:

The first question after "it's not working!" Is always "what isn't working?" followed by "show me what you were doing".

Used to have to deal with getting information out of customers that were having issues with our app (as a software dev, not sure why that was my job). Eventually we just asked for a video of what they were doing first thing when anyone called.

There's so many tech illiterate people out there, even young people who grew up with their phones often don't really know how to use it besides opening apps.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Firefox won't ask for or use your location, unless a website wants it for some reason (which is almost never a good one).

You're not wrong, but that's not the part they quoted :)

I always do this, but then forget to throw everything out afterward. I have just accepted that one of my jacket pockets is a rubbish bin now.

Wait so you turned copilot off, yet it was still reading everything you type?

I thought Palantir made scandinavian power metal

Do you have a source for that? I can't seem to find anything on their website, though judging by the past few release notes you're absolutely right.

Edit: found this video. Kinda feel like this should be a big red banner on the front page though.

OK I think I see what you're saying now:

If everyone leaves Firefox because of this, Google would probably stop paying them to be the default search engine.

I don't see that as the biggest issue though. Once people are leaving, my guess is they're just going to stop maintaining firefox regardless of how much money they get from Google. Cause why maintain a browser literally no one uses, instead of figuratively.

No, using Google makes Google money. That's why they pay mozilla to be the default.

Zen had its latest release 5 days ago, and arc 4 days ago, so I have no idea what they're talking about.

Technically Firefox is operated by the Mozilla Foundation, and thunderbird by its subsidiary, MZLA Technologies Corp. This subsidiary also took over K-9 a while ago iirc.

That's not really how agentic ai programming works anymore. Tools like cursor automatically pick files as "context", and you can manually add them or the whole ckdebase as well. That obviously uses way more tokens though.

French evolves: it has a committee to weed out stupid.

How are you going to stop people from using these "stupid" evolutions? That's just not how language works. If this is really something France does, I'd imagine what they'd end up with is dictionaries that don't at all match how people really speak.

Those tools were made for pulseaudio, not pipewire, so it makes sense they worm the same. Don't they have pipewire-specific versions of these tools?

Could be some program using your microphone. A lot of headsets will go into hands-free mode when you do that.

Fedora (immutable at least) has it disabled by default I think, but it's just one checkbox away in one of the setup menus.

There was this coffee corner near us when we went on holiday to Greece, called the Super Mario Coffee Kiosk.

I'm still surprised Nintendo hasn't tried to sue them yet, they even ripped off the logo and Mario himself.

Or you could leave the mirrors as they should be, and just turn your head to check your blind spots?
