you to approve each and every script request it might be good for those of you who prefer granular control over your javascript or you can use other things like noscript as well if you wanted to just have a more in-depth crazier tool that's probably a little bit more intense than this the thing that it has over no script is it'll actually pop up and ask you like hey we got this request and it shows you the full link and it's like do you want to approve this the problem is most of them have these really weird esoteric names so it's like here's a link to URL_TOKEN whatever whatever whatever do you want to approve it and i'm like i i don't know like do i need it will the site function without it but it's okay i have experience with this next one too that i can weigh in on so the next one is a free project it's called locate js it's an open source project designed to show you that your system data can gather information about you including your location even if you're using a vpn so the idea is when you run it it gets all kinds of information about your device and your connection and how long your connection takes to travel it's really cool and i encourage you to try it i was very happy i used cubes and it said that i was in atlanta when i am not but a lot of other people in the comments on reddit were like oh man this totally found me and it's also just a good reminder that again privacy is a multi-layered thing it's not as simple as boom i've got ivpn and now i'm safe although that's a great start there's a lot that goes into it and it's just it's a really neat little project i encourage you to check it out next one brave and firefox are now fighting against microsoft and are intercepting links that force open in microsoft edge some context here microsoft is being microsoft microsoft is replacing links in the windows shell with a microsoft edge at the front of it instead of https essentially which forces links to open an edge so they're pretty much completely working around other browsers in a very subtle and annoying way so brave and firefox came out and said that they're going to add support for this trick now to allow you just to still use their default browser of choice okay so our next story is about firefox and i like firefox simply because i believe that competition is a good thing and so like i like brave but i also like firefox because it's not based on chromium and like i said i think competition is good but then they go and do stuff like this and it's like come on guys which i understand they're trying to monetize they're trying to become i hope they're trying to become less reliant on like their search engine deals with google and stuff like that but still like why so firefox has this thing called firefox suggest suggest is pr speak for advertising basically what they want to do is they want to inject ads into your address bar it's a lot like if you go to google and you start to do a search it'll auto complete and try to guess what it thinks you're searching for firefox is kind of going to start doing that when
