i think there may be more windows users on other sites. if you tried stackexchange reddit… then you might consult irc or matrix. if its network problem, then collect some useful info with wireshark. contact the dev’s site.



i dont care about specific finance details
its real simple: is all potential user tracking technologies removed? if no, WHY?? (suddenly i’m looking at the money as a huge conflict of interest)
furthermore… do people want tracking so they can visit microsoft.com facebook.com google.com ?
ok fine. [no fault of mozilla]
but personally, i cant relate to these mainstream desires. i try not use it and i barely support what the project is doing.
so basically what firefox is doing could be interpreted as benign catering to mainstrean userbase(at best!). but firefox has less value by my high standards.
if ff uses this alibi, then all the Freedom and Transparent sentiment is extinguished instantly.

firefox does not stand fully against mainstream privacy technology. firefox is betting that privacy advocates will not win.
maybe thats true. maybe we should just settle for the lesser evil.
it would be cooler if firefox sponsored smaller more radical privacy projects.
currently it feels like ff sucks the wind out of the sails of radical projects to grease acceptance to mainstream of the last resisters.

i do not think mozilla will support radical technologies.

  1. rad tech is assumed to replace what firefox currently does.
  2. firefox is happily accepting money from google to continue development of their mainstream project.

what if ff is right? what if google/facebook would win and force tech elites to login to windows.com .
ff would be the last competitor before an antitrust situation would sweep the internet into a dark age. that would not be good.

how bad would it be to use googlechrome for 5min per day to check your bank.and then switch to existing rad tech? it might be feasible…(and beneficial to rad tech! like gemini). or maybe the gov would let sites force js for every webpage!! that would be bad.
that seems seems like exactly where we have ended up these days under mozilla’s leadership. it obviously hasnt been working. but maybe the floor could somehow be lower!
currently many sites refuse to serve nojs,vpn,tor. it could always defy extrodinary disbelief into literal clownshow donaldtrump amazonkillerdrone land.



bigger than the… (currently: nearly zero) community initiatives that work to provide the general public with a baseline solution in this space.
yacy might be comparable. but yacy is complicated and has some other issues.


dora is a DHCP server written in Rust using tokio. It is built on the dhcproto library and sqlx. We currently use the sqlite backend, although that could change in the future. The goal of dora is to provide a complete DHCP implementation for IPv4, and eventually IPv6. Dora supports duplicate address detection, ping, binding multiple interfaces, static addresses, etc see example.yaml for all options. It is, however, an early release version and may contain bugs.

linux kernel news: Rust in the 6.2 kernel (LWN)
The merge window for the 6.1 release brought in basic support for writing kernel code in Rust — with an emphasis on "basic". It is possible to create a "hello world" module for 6.1, but not much can be done beyond that. **There is, however, a lot more Rust code for the kernel out there; it's just waiting for its turn to be reviewed and merged into the mainline.** Miguel Ojeda has now posted the next round of Rust patches, adding to the support infrastructure in the kernel.

i feel like alot of people wont stop to read the article or wont understand the concepts discussed.
i found your article useful. i also trade crypto which heavily uses(or misuses) the ideas/criticism from the article.

Apkmirror.
Or aurora store.
Or github.
Or fdroid.

In theory there should be a way to verify the apk for authenticity.

great point.
I think the details are often super meaningful but comparing things literally may be revealing as an exercise.


not sure.
the ui is more overlysimplified. it’s missing some features from netguard like… lockdown when screen is off…or disable wifi or cellular access separately.
but it has some new features.
you can see the connected companies and tracking technologies that trackers use. you can block/unblock individual companies for an app. it also shows geoip information on a map. viewing the log is no longer a premium feature.



TrackerControl allows to monitor and control hidden data collection in apps. fork of netguard. android

vpn or searx [and sometimes]… Tor, are all not 100% perfect but they make identification more difficult and less certain.


one solution is to double down on Tor.
more usage means that every user needs to conserve bandwidth and also needs to run a relay. this assumes we might also be talking about ultra-light filesharing.
we could also see growth in migration to privacy-conscious internet overlay networks.
