Firefox is on the verge of extinction. What can they do about it?

# for #, a # extension..

"SponsorBlock is an open-source crowdsourced browser extension to skip sponsor segments in YouTube videos. Users submit when a sponsor happens from the extension, and the extension automatically skips sponsors it knows about. It also supports skipping other categories, such as intros, outros and reminders to subscribe."

Linux life hack: say you have a page open in Firefox on your Linux machine and you want to view it on your phone (and you donโ€™t have some fancy integration between the two)โ€ฆ

Instead of typing in the URL, get the FxQRL extension that shows you a QR code of the current tabโ€™s URL and aim your phoneโ€™s camera at it.

Boom! :)

FxQRL - URL to QR code โ€“ Get this Extension for ๐ŸฆŠ Firefox (en-US)

Download FxQRL - URL to QR code for Firefox. Turns your URLs into QR code images using built-in library, no network connection is made in this add-on.

So, I opened a new tab in # and immediately notice this. After a brief WTF moment, I click on the dots menu over the icon and land on this page:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/sponsor-privacy

(Note that from the URL I removed the UTM: `as=u&utm_source=inproduct`)

To sum up, another automatic opt-in from which I have to say no in the settings.

# turns to version 100...
The need for a browser not created and owned by a major advertiser couldn't be more important than ever...

Firefox version 100 is here - is it finally time to switch from Google Chrome?

A bunch of new features arrive to mark the occasion

There are new PC workstations in the public area of the #. The client itself had to be based on Win 10, but I have used a lot of free and # software: Login works with pGina, a foss replacement for Credential Provider (and GINA) to authenticate with the # card on Windows. Browser is # and I use @libreoffice, SumatraPDF as a PDF and eBook reader, NAPS2 with Tesseract for automated text recognition (OCR), VLC Media Player and of course Notepad++.

Recently, there has been misinformation about #Mozilla's browser #Firefox claiming that a new feature called #FirefoxSuggest would send any address bar inputs to advertising companies by default.

This is not true.

In reality, all sponsored suggestions are given offline by default, meaning that no additional user data is sent anywhere. Online suggestions are strictly opt-in.

Please do not spread false information.
