Mostly, but it’s not perfect.

URL’s can have tracking/surveillance/data harvesting codes appended to them. This option removes those.

Mozilla’s approach to Manifest V3 prioritizes user choice and control, offering developers more APIs and supporting both Manifest V2 and V3. This contrasts with Google’s approach, which limits extension functionality and will phase out Manifest V2 by mid-2025.

Nope I’m just awful.

When developers commit source code to a shared repository (for integration in software people like us use), they have the often-squandered opportunity to summarize the changes they are submitting. Linus (rightfully) thinks this opportunity should be leveraged more appr9opriately and more often, with more quality.

.1% gain is smashing records now?

Turning this off is one of the first things I do after install. Never had an issue.

Go to Firefox Settings, search “location”, click the first button in results (Permissions > Location heading), check the box to block all new requests and save it, never worry about this again on any site.

This topic is about mobile devices, not desktop. Last I checked, Windows and Linux aren’t mobile OS’s.

The “ref” param is clearly a tracking breadcrumb, but not sure what the “th” param is. So this is “better” than nothing, but still has room for improvement. “_encoding” is fine, but UTF-8 should be a default for most users anyways.

Blanket-removing the query string would break many real links, so I’d imagine it’s more nuanced than that.

Ah, didn’t know that.

I always scratch my head at people griping about too many notifications. When I install an app, if it doesn’t immediately ask for the ability to send them, I proactively disable them. And if it does, I deny the. Mobile games are the worst about it, for sure I only allow badges for some apps, and even fewer get real notifications, and still fewer can break trough Focus Mode.

iOS “could” allow more granularity, but in reality, spammy apps have a solution (disable them), and apps that want to send both “real” notifications and spam/ads/marketing indiscriminately have another (uninstall or yell at the company that made it by way of lousy app store reviews).
