>I am really not sure why they keep losing users.

Because, number one, they keep constantly making radical UI/UX changes that frustrate and alienate their long term users who would rather they keep the "older look" which they got used to and works just fine for them, and number two, most websites are lazy so their devs only optimize for Chrome, even going the extra mile to explicitly state that "For best experience use Chrome" <face_palm>

“ Which imo, leads to the stupid trap that a lot of westerners like to believe in meditation and make an effort to do it as some sort of "healthy" lifestyle choice (a la Sam Harris; although I do admire his work)”

Sounds to me like a total misrepresentation of Sam Harris’ work and stance in this field. He’s definitely more in the “you are not special, we all die” camp.

Bitwise: A Life in Code, by David Auerbach.

Among its memorable conceits: debugging as a life-improvement strategy, the weirdly mesmerizing properties of randomness, adversarial cat-and-mouse games that have transpired as a result of dueling software programs. He's a gifted writer and one of the few to consider programming as somewhat spiritually connected to the question of what it means to be a human. (In addition to his literary credentials, the writer is a former technical lead at Microsoft and Google.)
While they're interested in maintaining compatibility with Chrome's v3, there's no standard that forces them to make every single v3 change Chrome does.

v2 also already differs in some ways in which Firefox thinks it makes sense. I'm not scared at all that they're gonna deprecate webRequest.BlockingResponse in favour of declarativeNetRequest, which is the specific API function that adblockers rely on. After all, that function has nothing to do with security, best you could argue is that it's related to performance due to filter lists becoming absurdly long.
What do you call “an AST plus the additional information (such as whitespace info) needed to recover the original text the AST was parsed from” (if that has a name)? I think I saw it mentioned somewhere as having a name.
Well in a way it was also much more simpler, you had in DOS days a direct interface to the video memory and you most probably understood more accurately how the whole operation worked. So developers could map the hardware in their head more easily, vs nowadays where you have in many cases at multiple layers of abstraction between the code and the computer, having to figure out cryptic black boxes like OpenGL drivers and what not that are difficult to debug and make it hard to understand how things work.

Back in the day of course challenge was more not having widespread documentation and figuring things out as you went, especially with these pioneers.
Quarantines and lockdowns have been used throughout history to combat epidemics, with great success. Why do you think that the only thing that made people accept the latest ones is social media?

It's not only a simple Manifest version change. They have also deprecated the webRequest API, which is essential to implement any type of content filter or an ad blocker.
Totally agree on that, I used the web without an ad blocker for years before going back due to having too many ads on YouTube, Google is slowly closing their walls and I may end up on Firefox at this rate

A lot of commentary here describing what he’s doing as meditation, but it really just seems like cutting out electronic social distractions for a while. A simple reduction of stimuli. While like meditation or Stoicism, that practice is also in the process of being packaged for commodification and cargo culting (“digital detox”, “dopamine fasts”), I genuinely think that the future will consist of such stimulus dieting to manage with a rapidly overstimulating, over-complicating world. In the same way that actual dieting has been a way to deal with a world awash in cheap carbs and calories.

Makes me wonder if there are further rules to add. I’ve always thought that abstaining from mobile devices is not enough- anything distracting and anxiety-inducing can be done bigger and better on a full-sized monitor.

Should other forms of media be avoided as well? Interactive games, passive videos? Music? Even books? Everyone’s threshold is different, but just wondering what people think is a reasonable delimiter.

From stories I've heard, Clive Sinclair also had a very "intense" personality.

Something about the early computer industry is it's tolerance of rough, lumpy personalities.

One nice thing is that (next to being able to dim the screen as there is no background), the eyes actually focus on infinity with the lenses in a VR headset. This is the eye's natural state (staring in the distance, relaxed circular muscles around the lenses, which then flatten), and should be much better in the long term that staring at a screen 50 cm away from you.

I'm not a cryptocurrency fan. Or a fan of the far right.

But if you value secure data, communications, and interactions, there's little better test than that those you'd least want to support would be able to use a tool without risk of being exposed by its use.

Because if they're able to, anyone with good intentions but who is at risk whether from establishment, corporate, criminal, or violent radical/reactionary actors, will be able to do so as well. Which I see as a societal good.

I'd like to see a world which does a better job of balancing legitimate common weal interests in accessing such information, whilst affording strong protections against general surveillance and fishing expeditions. I think we're terrifyingly far to the latter extreme, and that law-enforcement agency alarmism over "dark threats" is a case of crocodile tears.
This is great news for Firefox. I switched a year ago and was forced to use Chrome once or twice (lack of call support in Teams web app; I'm unwilling to install the native (?) app).

The main difference between Chrome and Firefox is that Chrome feels passively (and sometimes actively) user-hostile with things like not-so-intuitive Chrome-vs-Google login and many other things that may seem trifle details but are in fact well-thought-out features with very specific purposes. In Firefox it's the opposite: I can start with containers right away, for example. Some extensions like Ad Nauseam (and many others) are simply removed from Chrome Store and if you insist on using them with Chrome, you need to re-enable them with the developer mode each time you start the browser. Why torture yourself if you can simply use Firefox?

I was a bit confused at first since I only knew of "unum" as referring to John Gustafson's research into alternative floating point number representations (compared to the IEEE one we're all familiar with), but this looks quite handy!

> Enter unum, a stand-alone utility program written in portable Perl which allows you to look up Unicode and HTML characters by name or number, and interconvert numbers in decimal, hexadecimal, and octal bases.

Speaking of "looking up by name", I recently discovered that when using any modern emoji picker, their search functions only work by name, barely contain any synonyms (which would help a lot there), and don't even support searching by emoticons. The last bit really surprised me at first - surely searching ":)" or ":-)" should result in a smiley.

I can only assume that this is because most emoji pickers work by automatically converting the unicode tables, since manually adding synonyms would be an incredible hassle.

Nichimen Mirai Images Thread – 20 Year Anniversary (2019)
They don't have any coherent marketing strategy, most people still think that Firefox is this sluggish browser that don't support anything.

Also, most non-technical people use the default browser that's installed on the OS whether that's Safari or Edge.

When manifest v3 kicks in and we'll see the true ad horror that's the Internet today without ad blockers, maybe then we'll jump to a more privacy first browser. Until then nothing will happen.
> Sure, the US has done and is doing a bunch of shitty things in the world, but between two evils, would you prefer the American jackboot or the Chinese jackboot?

When this kind of question comes up on Internet, I'm always a bit troubled, because there is some sort of hidden faith that the respondent won't be from a place that suffered from the US. Even though the person asking the question knows about the events, they never think about it when asking. On the other hand, positive events are remembered vividly (e.g. discussions about Europe almost invariably involve some WW2 references).

In reality, the answer will probably vary depending on whether the respondent is European or Iraqi, Vietamese or Cuban, etc.

I would say that it's some kind of heavy confirmation bias that makes people genuinely ask these questions, when an objective analysis makes the answer not evident.

What on earth does that have to do with this?
The new declarative APIs are great. They will protect user data from potentially malicious extensions.

The thing is uBlock Origin is just so important and trusted that these restrictions shouldn't apply to it. The functionality of uBlock Origin is just so fundamental and unambiguously pro-user it should be integrated into the browsers themselves. Conflicts of interest prevent that unfortunately but the fact remains that browsers without uBlock Origin installed cannot call themselves user agents.

uBlock Origin should just get access to everything so it can do its job as well as it possibly can. For everyone else, there's the standard APIs.
This is beautiful. Perl could do this, but I have to think about it every time. Often, I don't want to think.
As someone who is intimately familiar with the Chrome extensions internals and is not employed by a big tech company, I believe most of the changes seem like a step in the right direction.*

I've been working towards implementing greater support for Chrome extensions in Electron which has involved reading and interacting with Chromium code [0].

- Using service workers instead of a hidden background webpage is more idiomatic for web developers.

- Forced non-persistent extensions guides developers to a better implementation which relies on less resources.

*The deprecation of webRequest's blocking behavior is what's most concerning. The implementation in Manifest V2 requires sending a message back and forth between processes with JS processing for each network request which seems to be in part why they redesigned it.

However, that optimization costs so much for innovative ad blocking technologies as gorhill of uBlock Origin has mentioned. When ad blocking begins requiring new methods of detection or filtering, it'll now be up to Chromium maintainers to implement support for it in the new declarativeNetRequest API. This is a tradeoff of performance for reduced flexibility where it is absolutely needed.

Your post so entirely misses the point of the entire article that I wonder whose cognitive decline we should be worried about.

The author isn't bleating meaninglessly about how these applications move interface elements around and confuse his ossified brain, it's about the way the interfaces change to align with the profit-motive of the corporation in ways that are often not aligned at all with the user - the nominal 'owner' of the artifacts (your pictures or your music or books).

An uptick in digital heists of virtual currencies has left many crypto investors wondering if they have any options for tracing illicit Bitcoin transactions and recovering their stolen funds. The short answer is that ‘it’s possible, but difficult.’ The long answer is that ongoing developments in the regulatory landscape surrounding cryptocurrency may offer victims more recourse going forward.

Those who have fallen victim to crypto-currency heists either through mismanaged exchanges or hacks have the option of filing a complaint with the FBI’s Cyber Criminal Unit or other law enforcement agencies. An obstacle in going this route is the lack of emphasis placed on recovering stolen Bitcoin; to date, no one has received jail time for hacking an exchange or electronically syphoning digital currency. Broadly speaking, law enforcement agencies remain undecided as to whether or not stealing digital currency constitutes a crime but the good news is that their are individuals and agencies out there that do a good job with bitcoin and other cryptocurrency recovery, infact i did not believe this to be true till michael veksler recovered some bitcoins stolen from my PC, and the whole process was simple and fast. i would honestly recommend you contact michael (coinrecoverytrack@protonmail.com) for cryptocurrency recovery.

Same goes for this ethereum transaction, it’s making headlines because it’s so unusual. It’s weird to sign a transaction like this without extensively verifying what you’re about to send.

You make it sound like these cases are generally straightforward, but that’s absolutely not true. Any case involving a messed up international transfer has a significant risk of losing the funds.

> The solution to some injustice is not another injustice.

That statement is just absurd in this context. Your premise of this being injustice is wrong, don't engange in shitty rent seeking behaviour and you don't get expropriated, don't murder people and you won't have your right of free movement removed (or in the U.S. case you right to life...). Secondly, your falling for the paradox of tolerance (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance), being intolerant of nazism isn't a slippery slope towards nazism, just as being intolerant towards injustice isn't a slippery slope towards injustice.
We're not talking about vigilante groups assasinating some CEO and their Family here, but almost litterally that:

> these guys committed some unlawful thing, then the prosecutors should seek justice in the name of the people.

Because hat's literally what's happening. Massive unethical and unlawful behaviour by these companies, and the population asks the government to step in and protect them. Be it in the form of a law or a persecutor for said law, makes little difference.

> I'm completely dumbfounded that in countries that pride themselves as being democracies, expropriation is allowed by the law.

You still misunderstand what expropriation means in germany, you get the same compensation as you'd get from the 5th.

You seem to somehow complect democracy, which literally derives it's name from the greek words for "power" and "people" with libertarian neiliberalism, where profits are more important than people.

In the context of `webRequest.BlockingResponse` being a performance bottleneck due to filter lists becoming absurdly long, it does in fact become a security issue.
