I had been using Linux for home and work for the past 10 years, dual booting for games mostly (do basically only to use steam).

Recently I had to change jobs and was given a windows laptop. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that the candy crush ad is still present on corporate devices. In a $3500 workstation from a fortune 50. What the hell.

I managed to get a Mac instead. IT is still laughing about me for asking Linux instead

Being aware of something outside of your own ass, something pretty foreign and alien to an apple fanboy like you.

It’s people like you who made it possible for Mac os to not have proper snapping until 2024.

Bitwarden and other password managers get the app Id automatically on Android and can have multiple apps/websites associated to a password, you only need to search once and tap “auto fill and save”

Aside from blocking the add-ons site, they might block the update servers. Linux wouldn’t be affected I think (unless they block rpm, apt… As a whole), but on windows I think it updates from Firefox servers directly.

There are probably ways around it, but it’s a burden for the windows users.

Pixel 8 pro already does. I’m not sure, but I think Samsung has something too.

Vista was going to make everybody go Linux. Then Windows 8. Then Windows 11 requirements. Then Recall…

Let’s me honest. Average Joe doesn’t understand or care.

Right now for 75% of users it’s less work to install Linux than Windows, with all the crap people does to avoid TPM, Microsoft account, edge…

I have a Mac at work, and apple trying to control what people does with their devices is stupid and they should be shamed for it.

Checkmate!

I got this on the front page, I don’t need to be an apple apologist to see the news. If you don’t want non fanboys, tell your admin to disallow it there

Exactly. At any point and update can brick the install. If I wanted an OS that can brick itself just by updating, I would use arch.

For the time being, yes, they will support both. But V2 will only work on Firefox (and forks) and I think brave, a very small percentage of users.

So given that it will be like supporting two different extensions, I assume most extension developers will just switch to v3.

How long after most extensions are v3 until Firefox drops/stops supporting is anybodies guess.

It’s actually a great example of how chromes dominant position is screwing other browsers

It’s more work and will create different set of features.

So no, not crazy, but really inconvenient and for a very limited amount of users

I guess extension developers will slowly stop, unless extremely hampered.

Will there be many extensions with active development that still use V2? Either they focus on Firefox or they have two versions.

At that point, why not make ublock part of Firefox, like brave did?

To be honest, jumping off a bridge stops feeling depression… And so the other feelings.

But for real, I hope nobody did anything irreversible due to this stun.

It’s still DNS level only, right? That wouldn’t stop YouTube ads, or remove annoyances.

“America’s only Christian conservative wireless provider and our mission is to passionately defend our God-given Constitutional rights and freedoms while glorifying God.”

How are they making this mission? Do they block sites? Or it’s just a way to scam people with shitty services and high price? Both?

We have something similar here, they just scam but not block

Well, it does search online too. That the implementation is atrocious is a different thing.

Btw, did you know that anything typed in start/search now counts as a search in edge? I wander whats behind that move.

It searches for everything you search so that by the time you press enter, it already has the result of the last one, hence seeming faster.

It’s worse than a paid ad. It’s an ad. You have to pay to see.

If I watch it on TV, computer, tablet or phone, I pirate it. Else, I pay.

Hell, I’m pirating Amazon even though I have Amazon Prime because of how crap the app is.

Soon the game world will have speakers with ads, that will not really follow volume settings or distance attenuation.

The tutorial will have you collect “refreshing Pepsi Colas”.

Cinematics will always look to the big billboards.

And the game will have strict anti tampering/mods and will require internet connection to support this adds.

EA doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt anymore
