Mozilla doubling down on ads in Firefox (blog.mozilla.org)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.zip/post/23894598

Despite its emphasis on protecting privacy, Mozilla is moving towards integrating ads, backed by new infrastructure from their acquisition of Anonym. They claim this will maintain a balance between user control and online ad economics, using privacy-preserving tech. However, this shift appears to contradict Mozilla's earlier stance of protecting users from invasive advertising practices, and it signals a change in their priorities.

AdGuard installs a small local VPN server on the device and routes traffic through it filtering it as per my settings. It can filter the apps I choose, has the same capabilites as uBlock Origin and more, while uBlock Origin can only filter content within a few select browsers.

I didn't say I use DNS based blocking.

I didn't say I don't block ads on the phone. Read my other comments here.

I use Revance Manager for patching other apps but youtube app is shit no matter how much you patch it. Prefer NewPipe or even LibreTube over patched Youtube app.

I use NewPipe for Youtube, there are no ads at all.

I use AdGuard for blocking ads phone-wide and if I hadn't, Vivaldi has a built-in adblocker too.

Bottom line is I don't see any ads without using uBlock Origin. Original commenter is "surprised more people aren't using" it like it's the only way to go, while in reality it usable only in certain scenarios. It's best for PC but not for mobile.

For which mobile and what extensions manager?

I'm blocking ads phone-wide, I just don't use uBlock Origin for that on the phone.

Can/will the CrowdStrike outage be replicated by hackers? (lemmy.zip)

The CrowdStrike cyber event affected 8.5 million Windows machines and was the biggest IT outage in history. It has "beaten" even the cyber attacks of WannaCry and NotPetya.

Can/will this method be used by hackers? What would they need to do to take advantage of that vulnerability?

Always display .jpg instead of .webp (lemmy.zip)
 

Hi LJ!

Might be a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway... Would it be possible for the app to always show .jpg pictures instead of .webp? If I remeber correctly, if you upload a .jpg or .png file, Lemmy converts it to .webp. Can this be reversed in Sync?

Does anyone know where to find Workday workbooks? (lemmy.zip)
 

I can't seem to find them anywhere. I'm especially interested in Workday Recruiting Fundamentals and Workday Advanced Recruiting, but happy to get any workbooks as long as they are searchable rather than printed from VitalSource as pictures with watermark.

Options can't be pressed when peeking (lemmy.zip)
 

I'm wondering what's the point of showing options (download, share etc.) when peeking (long-pressing) pictures if they are unresponsive? Am I missing something?

Is it possible to "peek & stay" instead of hiding a picture as soon as I stop pressing?
