Firefox handelt: Schluss mit der Verwirrung um Add-on-Datenerhebung

Wer eine Firefox-Erweiterung installiert, muss zuvor einer etwaigen Datenerhebung zustimmen. Doch bislang funktionierte die Abfrage laut Mozilla nur schlecht.

@martinschlegel @Extelec Pretty much any version of #NetBSD should run on a #ThinkPad T23 out of the box, and #pkgsrc will include the ~latest #firefox. I tested it on a ThinkPad T41, which is only two years more recent than the T23 - youtu.be/jYS4TcgxMxU

Now, whether you can do anything *useful* in modern Firefox on a 1GB 32 bit machine... not so much

#PaleMoon or #ArcticFox are pretty capable browsers which run well on smaller machines - and #Dillo will *scream* on that spec hardware 😛

Mozilla launches Thundermail, a Gmail alternative email service with @thundermail email addresses, and Thunderbird Pro, which includes appointment scheduler, file sharing tools, and AI-powered features (Thunderbird Assist):

(POV it will be killed off after a short time like other Mozilla products lol. There's already Proton Mail, a privacy-focused mail service from a company with a better track record, more than 100 million users, also Tuta for those who don't mind it not being fully FOSS, so I don't really think Thundermail has a shot here, but nice try regardless, at least they try to have some source of income other than Google.)

Firefox 137 released with HEVC playback support on Linux, ability to identify all links in PDF files and turn them into hyperlinks, new options in the Browser Layout section under General settings (vertical tabs, show sidebar); some progressively rolled out features: sign PDF documents, calculator feature for address bar (now you don't have to open the Console tab of dev tools for that lol), tab grouping:

Firefox 138 beta available new contrast control (same colors for all websites) setting, support for copying links for background tabs using the tabstrip context menu on Linux and macOS, more tab grouping features, new “Report broken site” feature, etc.:

Midori browser gets new ad blocker (Astian Privacy, also available for other Firefox-based browsers), VPN service (utilizing WireGuard, with OpenVPN support planned), search engine AstianGO now has its own indexing:

Mildly perplexed that #Firefox will sync nearly all your settings, including about half of your extensions' settings, yet still doesn't sync your per-domain zoom settings.

Such a basic thing. I wonder if it's implemented oddly on the backend and that makes it hard to sync nicely, or maybe there's a use case I'm not thinking of where it would screw other users over?
