Either Connect to VPN > Download the Add-on.

Or, on the GitHub or Gitlab page, provide a copy of extension and the instruction to install it locally.

Currently I'm using ungoogled-chromium on Linux just for PWA because of this decision made by Mozilla 😔

For What application you face issue? I’m curious as XWayland should provide backward compatibility.

Well, since when Silicon Valley cared about environment or Global warming? It's all about $ always.

Used Mainline to install it on Ubuntu 23.10. Together with Nvidia driver v550, it is working without an issue for me.

Money and Time – It's rather easier/cheaper for Organizations nowadays to outsource a part of infra to Cloud service providers.

We’re working on a new anti-tracking feature: Bounce Tracking Protection. It works similar to the existing Cookie Purging feature in Firefox, but instead of a tracker list it relies on heuristics to detect bounce trackers.

        It’s based on the navigational-tracking-protections spec draft in the PrivacyCG[1]

Wait, I thought they are recipient of Sovereign Tech Fund. Didn't that help them with their budget?

Your CSS knowledge is still useful to customise other areas of Firefox UI.

Initially I followed this route to avoid Snap version provided by Ubuntu.

Later I just downloaded Tar package from Mozilla, and update it manually.

In short, I just abandoned deb/snap/flatpak altogether.

UX is a very subjective matter.

Bad news is that it is not clear at this point whether Mozilla is going to go forward with the implementation. A post on Reddit by one of the project members suggests that the build is a "rough proof-of-concept". Some features tested in the build "did not survive". It is unclear which did not, as they are not mentioned. Mozilla is, however, implementing those that survived the cut into Firefox. Again, the poster does not mention which those are. It is also not verified that the poster is actually a member of the project team, so take this with a grain of salt as well.

• Careful choice of program to infect the whole Linux ecosystem
• Time it took to gain trust
• Level of sophistication in introducing backdoor in open source product

All of these are signs of persistent threat actors aka State sponsor hacker. Though the real motive we would never know as it's now a failed project.
