🙄 Firefox 139 Is Now Available for Public Beta Testing, Here's What to Expect

LibreWolf is now in my Slackware repository

“Red alert! For the last six months, EFF, our supporters, and dozens of other groups have been sounding the alarm about several #BadInternetBills that have been put forward in Congress.We’ve made it clear that these bills are terrible ideas, but Congress is now considering packaging them together — possibly into must-pass legislation. I’m asking you to join us, ACLU, Fight for the Future, and other digital rights defenders in a week of action to protect the internet.”

Yubikeys don't work out of the box for the LibreWolf Flatpak because they sandboxed it so hard.

Mozilla seemingly changes Firefox Terms of Use in order to get rid of wordings such as "we don't sell your data".

Another day, another @BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social video about Mozilla's terms of use update.

Given #mozilla now-ambiguous statements about privacy, what do we think about using #firefox Relay for email masking/alias?

Mozilla removed the promise to "never sell your personal data” from its FAQ.

Why does #Mozilla think the few people that are still using #Firefox, are there? The people that were still using it in the darkest times before Quantum, when performance was atrocious. Yep, it's because #privacy. What do they think will happen now that they have modified their TOS to sell your data? 🤦‍♂️ https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/commit/d459addab846d8144b61939b7f4310eb80c5470e

#Firefox has very few users (~2% market share) who care about #privacy, and these days the #Mozilla Corporation often finds a way to piss them off.

Mozilla Firefox is officially dead.

We had a really interesting discussion yesterday about voting on Lemmy/PieFed/Mbin and whether they should be private or not, whether they are already public and to what degree, if another way was possible. There was a widely held belief that votes should be private yet it was repeatedly pointed out that a quick visit to an Mbin instance was enough to see all the upvotes and that Lemmy admins already have a quick and easy UI for upvotes and downvotes (with predictable results ). Some thought that using ActivityPub automatically means any privacy is impossible (spoiler: it doesn't).

I wanted to know if my local Food Basics store is tracking me.
