What’s the use case for something like this?

I could see it being handy for work, sometimes when designing parts I’ll find a component that looks like a good fit but will forget to note it down or bookmark it.

Summarizing previous conversations with a customer for support via email/chat would also be nice, so I don’t have to manually go through a bunch of threads to remember what products they have and such.

It’s one of those things where some changes can be pretty easy with minimal fuss and they work essentially the same, switching away from Chrome for example.

But some things are very involved and take a lot of work, and experience will suffer because features will be missing or the alternatives are buggier. Trying to switch to Matrix instead of Discord and Telegram for example was something I gave up on really quickly, it’s just not there yet for me.

Lemmy is kind of in the middle for me, usability is generally as good as reddit, but instances are often slow or down so comments/replies don’t post properly, images will load slowly, videos often not at all.

Just buy an older car, I don’t get the obsession with having the newest expensive BS in a vehicle.

It sure is, although on my setup it seems a bit buggy and only shows up after I manually autofill lol

For new users it is on by default I believe, they just didn’t want to suddenly enable it on existing accounts.

Good to know! Annoying that it doesn’t tell you that.

Even without containers cookies are separated between sites: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-rolls-out-total-cookie-protection-by-default-to-all-users-worldwide/

So from a privacy perspective from a site in the browser looking at cookies, with or without containers it should not be able to see cookies from other websites.

However from a security standpoint if something breaks out of the browser with an exploit and infects the host system, it can read all of the browser data easily from any site in any container.

I think most of the basic Logitech webcams should just work without any other software.

Not surprised about Razer, their stuff is awful.

It also sends your IMAP credentials to their servers and receives the mail there, it’s not done locally like the older versions.

I don’t get it either, it seems horribly complex to use day to day.

It does feel a bit laggy on my lower powered laptop.

I gave it a try, but what turns me off is the weird decentralization that’s sort of black box? Like I have a recovery phrase which I associate with blockchain stuff, and there’s a vague button that says “offload data to our backup node”. And then I seem to have an account with them? The settings mentions deleting an account which is weird, because I thought it was local/lan sync only.

Their website says “No server”, but in the settings on the app it says I’ve used xxMB out of 1GB of remote storage, where/what is that if there’s no server involved? Where is my data being uploaded to?

I can’t seem to find where it stores data in a standard format on my local filesystem, so if anytype shuts down how do I migrate? It looks like my local data is even encrypted for some reason??

Basically both on their website and in the app it feels like the concept is all over the place, it can’t decide if it’s local where you own your data, stored on a server somewhere, or some sort of weird blockchain decentralized thing where your data just might vanish one day.

For the app itself I can’t figure out how to get an editing/format tool bar like I have in onenote, to change font, size, headings, insert tables, and that sort of thing.

Navigation is also confusing, I created a new note (page?) and now I can only find it in “All Objects” which is just a giant mess of stuff, whereas I’m looking for something like a tab bar with my sections and pages organized in a tree or something like onenote does it.

Overall my impression is it’s very confusing to use and understand, with a lot going on in the UI but still missing basic editing tools and organization.

Looks like they offer lifetime plans, I definitely associate those with services that aren’t well made and don’t stick around long, since lifetime storage plans aren’t really sustainable.

It only defeats 2FA from a standpoint of someone gaining access your PW manager. But for everything else like a service getting hacked and leaking your passwords for it, the 2FA will still do its job fine.

Looks like it’s already flipped to true in Librewolf, glad they seem to have some common sense compared to mozilla.

Is there any good reason for a browser to mask the real URLs like that? There seems to be a trend of hiding parts of the URL people see lately.

How are both Firefox and Chrome “High” for spying, when Firefox basically only sends diagnostic telemetry by default.

Half of this site is bitching about browsers checking for updates to the browser, addons, and block lists. How is it supposed to function if it doesn’t do that?

First, we have it connecting to Mozilla’s location services, who then obviously learn your location.

Why ‘obviously’? How is connecting to that URL any different from another URL? A webserver gets your IP and rough location either way.

The tests are in a public github repo, it doesn’t seem like they’re hiding anything.

Signal, but no one I know uses it, no local groups are on it. It doesn’t really have many features.

Meanwhile telegram has tons of people in local groups for all kinds of stuff.

It seem that’s a cloudflare load balancer IP so it doesn’t really give any clues as to where the data is going.

I don’t use it just because I’m not a fan of how chromium browsers work. They have had some controversies too around their crypto stuff and other things, but I’m not too familiar with them.

With brave you don’t need any of those addons.

On Firefox just uBlock is fine.

If the website you visit uses HTTPS (SSL), then your ISP can see that you’ve visited 9gag.com but not what specific URL.

My main complaint about it is it just seems so resource heavy and complex for what it offers. It’s nowhere near a viable alternative for Discord yet unless all you do is text chat.

There just isn’t any way to prevent a web server from logging IPs if the admin chooses to do so.

That’s the one, I’ve side loaded SmartTube on it for youtube, but haven’t done much else. I would imagine it’s customizable since it’s a google product, and their pixel phones are very good for that too.

The Google Chromecast one is really good

Wildcard cert both solves that, and makes life easier since you just have 1 cert for everything.

Just change the port slightly, like 51831 or something. That will help a bit, but VPN traffic can be identified regardless of what port it’s on.

In advanced mode you can disable specific resources from being blocked, but it depends on what’s needed to support the site.
