  • Ha OK, I don't know what ozon is and I don't think I've had to edit .desktop files so far, so I'm probably good. I'm on Silverblue, so I suppose they're still doing system installs, or are looking at existing packages and following their lead.

    Thanks for the clarification!

  • Wait, if I run flatpak list --system --columns=application, it looks like all my Flatpaks are system Flatpaks. Running flatpak list --user --columns=application shoulds just a couple of platform packages. What am I missing out on? What is this needed for:

    like forcing crappy electron apps to use wayland

    (Either way, thanks for writing up a detailed guide!)

  • Keep in mind that having an extensively customised setup makes you more fingerprintable - just the fact that some things are not visible to a website makes you unique. Generally, most of the defaults will be best for everybody - especially when it comes to options that are not exposed in the UI (i.e. through about:config).

    What could be interesting for you is just running uBlock Origin and have it block all JavaScript by default. That'll block most of the scripts that potentially do tracking (and that Firefox doesn't block natively, e.g. because they also provide functionality), and you can relatively easily enable them on a per-site and per-script basis.

  • Almost my entire career I've worked in open source, so it's very easy to see what my technical work looks like. No one has ever looked at it.

    When I have been on the other side, I have looked at the GitHub "portfolio" of junior applicants, but TBH, it didn't bring me much. There will always be lots of opportunities for improvements in those examples, but that's the point - I expect them to improve on the job.

    More experienced developers will almost never have significant work on GitHub, and if they do, it's not a "portfolio", but just their past work.

  • I think it's for the Hacker News crowd that's always clamoring for smaller phones, or phones with a physical keyboard. Potentially for parents to give to their young children, to be able to contact them without getting them addicted to screens right away.

    Not sure how big those markets are though.

  • They are the collective main browser makers, including Mozilla. One thing Mozilla can (and does) do is insert site-specific workarounds (e.g. changing the User Agent), and/or work with the website to ensure compatibility.

  • I mean, come on.

    This (vertical tabs) is still an experimental feature that isn't even in Firefox Labs yet. It's not that surprising that all edge cases have been ironed out yet. I mean, come on.
