Librewolf with Ublock + privacy redirect

LibreFish ,

On mobile, I may actually be using libredirect and just misremembered the name, or I might be due for an update. Thanks

LibreFish ,

There's already a number of countries trying implement news site link taxes, I wouldn't be surprised if they just gave up and decided to cut that out.

Chat Control May Finally Be Dead: European Court Rules That Weakening Encryption Is Illegal (tuta.com)

The EU Court ruled that “Backdoors may also be exploited by criminal networks and would seriously compromise the security of all users’ electronic communications. The Court takes note of the dangers of restricting encryption described by many experts in the field.” Any requirement to build in backdoors to encryption...

The reason people are talking about this in such a negative light is because it did not occur in a vaccum. Nothing but mildly and moderately bad news over a swath of time adds up quickly. If there was no other bad news it could be written off, but this bad news bears the wight of all the other bad news as well.

Sometimes it's just because the lawyers who wrote TOS grab as much leeway as they can, even if it's just to make a translation.

Servo in future, LibreWolf for now imo

LibreFish ,

Called palemoon, except version freeze is much older.

Anything else will goatsy your computer to all forms of zero days.

Doubling down on our core products, like Firefox

Expected them to double down on Google tracking, AI, and pocket while laying off Firefox engineers. Still do, but maybe slightly slower now.

Half the people here were like "yup that's why I didn't join" and the other half just secretly joined upon hearing that.

Furry porn, as mentioned above, seems to be the selling point

LibreFish ,

Except profile migration doesn't exist in AT. They may make it in the future but it doesn't exist at all right now.

Quick tool to summarize a page, proofread, or compare it to another source. Still needs a functioning human brain to separate the wheat from the chaff so to speak, but I could see a LLM (especially local) being useful in some ways.

I'm sure there are disabilities or unique use cases that could increase it's usefulness, especially once they improve more.

The big turning point came in 2018 when I signed a legally binding commitment to ensure that Ecosia could never be sold and that 100% of our profits would always go to the planet. Today, your searches enable us to work with partners to plant and protect 1,250 species of trees across 95,000 locations globally.

Keywords plant and protect. Basically a papermill can plant trees to harvest 20 years later and in the meantime sell carbon offsets for 19 years then harvest and replant.

Can't say for sure they're doing it, but from what I hear just about every tree is eligible for a "carbon offset" and some companies abuse it by saying "this is our tree" as long as it's not cut down within x months and use it as a carbon offset or a "protected tree."

LibreFish ,

They might buy them though to inflate the number of protected trees. I'm not saying they are, just providing a potential reason for such a large number

LibreFish ,

Brave may be persona non Grata around here, but props to them for actually crawling the web. Just about every other private search engine uses APIs from Google/Bing or scrapes/proxies results from other search engines.

LibreFish ,

Maybe a tiny bit unstable and proprietary, but I don't think they have had any controversies or shady action.

LibreFish ,

In the olden days they had 100% support for extentions

LibreFish ,

Didn't Mozilla just do a big roadmap talking about what they plan to do in the future and it was basically all AI and Activism with no mention of Firefox?

I hope to see Firefox grow, but who knows. Especially if antitrust actions or a continued drop in Firefox usage cuts off the Google money and makes Mozilla go poof.

But of course at least Gecko is Foss so it can't disappear entirely if the community doesn't let it.

LibreFish ,

On Android, Mozilla points out it can't import browser data

You mean Android was built from the ground up to be a secure platform and not allow apps to meddle with other app's data?

This is a security and privacy feature that's very useful and applies to all apps.

LibreFish ,

Not a lawyer, but AFAIK life rights looks like some sort of name they applied to whatever waiver/contract they made.

As long as you're not making up lies knowingly, you can legally discuss and speculate any details of anybody's life here in the US.

I love how everybody here goes from "yay piracy" and "screw copyright" to "I can't believe they violated copyright laws" the second it's somebody they dislike.
