I'm really excited about Mozilla's focus on developer tools in #Firefox. My coworkers laughed when they found out I was using Firefox, because in their mind it's behind the times. Chrome is the only modern browser to them. New tools that make development easier makes it easier to show them why Firefox, and a diverse browser ecosystem in general, is important to support.
Congratulations to our friends in the @kde on their new Plasma 5.15 release! We are so proud of the exceptional work you have pulled off this cycle, and are thankful to have you working alongside us to develop the future of the libre desktop.
@nolan LastPass on Firefox is one of the worst offenders I've seen in this space. It blocks GitHub issue/PR pages for seconds if not tens of seconds sometimes (of course it doesn't help that GitHub has >200 input field on a page with 10 comments like https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/issues/14836).
@julianruf I used to check the Washington Post on a daily basis, but since it now takes three clicks to get past the GDPR consent form I've switched to the New York Times - zero clicks needed.
@hermlon If that's the case they are doing a poor job explaining what is happening to the user (blank screen if permission is denied). The fact that Bluetooth is connected to the Location permission is not intuitive at all.
Here's a gem: the Marshall Bluetooth Android application names itself only "Bluetooth" such that it's confusing when it requests access to your location. Why would it need it since its only job is to connect to a speaker via Bluetooth? More infuriating, it refuses to work at all if access it denied.
you might not have known this, but google - the company you use for searching, email, maps, translation, data storage, watching videos, voice assistant tech, backing up your phone, storing photos, finding images, making purchases, making your phone's operating system, advertising, providing webfonts, running website analytics, providing captcha authentication, and browsing the internet - might be tracking you
This is a big release with lots of new improvements!
Features:
- Images/videos are now shown in a more condensed grid, thanks to some great work by @stevegenoud. If you prefer the old style, though, you can switch back in Settings -> General -> "Show large inline images and videos"
- Big perf improvements thanks to upgrading Sapper.
- Pinafore can now be hosted as a static site. Note that this is in beta though, and doesn't support CSP.
@diegovicente@nolan I have the same model but unfortunately had some issues (battery and screen had to be replaced in the first year due to hardware defects). Compatibility with Linux is good except for the graphics cards (switching between the integrated and dedicated one is a pain) and occasionally freezes that I didn't have time to look into.
