I like how Googlers list Edge (now) and Opera in their “Browser support tables” like these are the completely different browsers

Both based on Chromium. Feels like they are trying to say like “See, *many* browsers already support that, but Firefox is still far behind . . . 🐢 ”

this is what we had aux ports taken away for. I hate the devolution of headphone tech

How come people expect everything they run on their mobiles to come as an "app", but then refuse to access anything but a website on their computers?

Personally I prefer "real" apps on all my platforms, but I get it:

Installing computer programs is perceived as more complicated than tapping Install in the app store. This needs to be addressed though.

Linux would have all the right tools here: package management & sandboxing. It's a shame it still lacks the traction it would so deserve.

In the ideal technolibertarian world, being unable to start your car in an emergency is just normal.

“Hey EFF, can you recommend a specific VPN?”

F-Droid will soon have stricter requirements for apps showing up in the "Latest" tab in the F-Droid app:

https://news.f-droid.org/posts/2019-03-26-the-latest-tab-now-highlights-good-descriptions/

If you are an app developer consider adding good descriptions, screenshots and a "Whats's New" section for your app.

If you notice that your favourite app doesn't fulfill all these requirements consider notifying the app's developers or just help them with a merge request adding the missing info to the source repo.

I enjoy that the first listed feature of this alternate Slack and Discord client is: Not made from a web browser

Firefox admits they will eventually be sending all of your DNS to Cloudflare. Cloudflare will monetize your internet browsing, no matter how much their PR people say they are.

If you want to disable that, go to "about:config", and set "network.trr.mode" to 5.

The values are: 0 - default off, 1 - race, 2 TRR first, 3 TRR only, 4 shadow, 5 off by choice
