I don't know how recent this change is but I noticed #Firefox removed https:// from the address bar so now every link and every website I visit looks insecure. I know there is a padlock icon next to the address bar but it doesn't seem quite as easily scannable to me.
So today it is Friday the 13th and apparently I should have stayed in my bed.
Just spent way too much time troubleshooting why the curl requests I got from Firefox by using "copy request to cUrl" did not work. Turns out it is a Firefox bug. For unknown reason it adds a caret "^" before each parameter separator in the query string in the curl request, breaking everything.
#Degoogling update: I’ve installed #vivaldi with maxed out privacy setting on my devices with #startpage as my default search engine. Much improved experience. Vivaldi seems less resource intensive than #firefox and it seems to have completely killed all ads on #Youtube, which claims back some of my life (60 second ads on 3 minute videos is a joke, yes I’m aware YT is Google owned).

Hang on a mo - is this seriously saying that I have to update my #Firefox browser to latest spiffy level just to listen to your podcast?!
You have to be joking, right?
You are BBC tech R&D and you can't manage to engineer a simple audio stream on your website that's universally accessible and back compatible?

Seven years ago everyone was up in arms about DoH and I wrote about how we implemented it in #Firefox (as I worked for Mozilla back then)

I have good news for us Linux fans: I tested Windows using the same method and it's consistently worse than all three!
71 ms on Windows 10
Interestingly, Windows was very, very consistent, though. Almost all data points are within 5 ms of each other.

#Firefox のUser Agent Switcherを使ってたけど開発者用ツールだから面倒だったんだよね。これは助かる。

Mozilla repeatedly calls Firefox an independent browser in their defense of why Google should keep funding the development. Independent?

What is going on at #Mozilla is a pretty good example, of strings-attached I want to avoid for future me.

The way they are now basing the "use" of their services, including the product #Firefox, is going to be quite interesting to follow how they will and can maintain the path they are now pawing.
Are least I don't think their new changes should change anything about using their Open Source code to build our own things with.
