Yes, I've actually been using Zen for a while now and even donated to the project as it seems a pretty worthwhile (and necessary) competitor.

Seems like NOYB already filed a complaint with the Austrian data protection authorities: https://www.heise.de/en/news/Data-protection-complaint-Noyb-...

OP might refer to tab grouping being readily available in Chrome whereas Firefox requires additional add-ons for it.

Right, because "don't contradict X" is much better than "don't contradict Y"...

Broken, as in physically broken? Sure, but that can be fixed/repaired if it's not beyond any hope of that.

Broken, as in "the software is broken"? Well, at least all my devices are repairable, if that happens. Even if it might require the nuclear option of reinstalling/reflashing. But at least there are no shenanigangs such as these and the ones OP described happening.

It might not be sane by any means, but here are the current release candidates: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/candidates/115.0-can...

Ah, a fellow /e/ user. While I completely agree with you concerning dialer and SMS apps, the mentioned SafetyNet restrictions from the article could be causing problems in the future as many apps, especially banking apps, potentially rely on those.

The extension has fortunately been forked: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/istilldontcar...

Same here in Germany. Even microsoft.com times out at the moment.

Which, to be honest, is just a more contrived way of saying "I know this is true and I don't need researchers telling me otherwise". It is only anecdotal evidence in any case.

Yeah, but Fire fighting for 4 days > Fire fighting for 5 days.

The parent comment was about a knee-capped economy which would also affect the rich, wouldn't it?

Isn't it common sense that the wealthy are the ones who produce / emit the most CO2? Maybe I'm missing the point here, but I can't understand how poverty is the worst thing for the environment seeing that it restricts consumption.

"Remote development" does not necessarily imply that development happens on a remote machine. I use remote development extensions to work directly on projects inside WSL2.

Be that as it may, as opposed to the brand of shoes they (or their parents) bought, there is something that can be done to prevent this bullying at least.

This is exactly what we (my family and me) do. We don't currently own a car and don't plan on buying one but instead use our Babboe Big-E as mentioned. If we - on some rare occasion - require a car/van I can rent one rather cheaply from the local car sharing initiative, called StattAuto.

There is indeed a Fedora Server: https://getfedora.org/en/server/

This might seem out of proportion. OTOH this contextual information makes the motivation to create this tool a lot more transparent, imho of course.

Early dementia or Alzheimers?

Using a common household internet access here in Germany, i.e. consumer level, one gets assigned a new IP roughly every 24 hours.

"You're holding it wrong"

Did it also delete your containers by chance? That is, if you have set any up.

This drives me up the wall. At certain, irregular intervals Firefox loses my configured multi-account containers - except for those provided by an extension, e.g. Amazon Container.

Is this also true for Debian-based distributions? Anyways, users on Mac and Windows usually download Firefox directly from Mozilla and are therefore affected by the aforementioned telemetry.

Seeing the market share of Desktop Linux I'd hazard a guess that those users are in the majority.

Weird, there's 'legacy' right there in the name. I wouldn't be surprised if that feature gets removed at some point.

This is fundamentally wrong on so many levels.

Let's just pretend you would have any resemblance of a point there: Firstly, renewables are much cheaper than fossil or nuclear power - both in construction and operation. Secondly, the surging electricity prices, at least speaking for Germany here, are a result of the idiotic "EEG-Umlage".

What incentive should they have to make Safari a capable browser? Who would profit when developers can build PWAs instead of paying the Apple Tax?

But the foundation is not responsible for Firefox development, isn't it? It's the corporation which can't be supported through donations iirc.

Most, if not all, bakeries in my vicinity allow card payments. Even the small, owner operated bakery a few blocks downtown.

I know, purely anecdotal. But it goes to show that we Germans maybe aren't as backwards-thinking ;)

So do I. The UI also looks pretty good on GNOME.

Thanks, that's a good point. BAT and the associated concept of rewarding content creators or Brave Search could be seen as contributions to the world as well, I think.
