[–] KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (4 children)

Firefox’s stance on privacy, like Apple’s, is to some extent branding

Some of the recently introduced Privacy related features -

  • Enhanced Tracking Protection
  • Total Cookies protection
  • Browser Fingerprint protection
  • DNS Over HTTPS support
  • Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) support
  • Continued Manifest v2 support
  • Copy URL without tracking parameter
  • Protection against redirect tracking
  • In-Built on-device translation

(Further options to harden Firefox via user.js or via about:config)

Whenever you have issue with Firefox, first thing that you should try is 'Troubleshoot mode' -

Firefox Menu > Help > Troubleshoot Mode

Which distro do you find the most visually appealing? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I think that's for Gnome App developers and not for regular users.

Firefox Containers are for Cookies and Storage separation. Profile, on the other hand, is a COMPLETE separation in all aspects of Firefox's user data, setup , add-ons.

Always use a separate Firefox profile for banking needs.

Those who are using Nvidia's driver 555, what's your experience in Wayland so far? Those who are using it in conjunction with KDE 6.1, what's your experience with multi-monitor VRR in Wayland? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago

Ubuntu 24.04 + Gnome 46 + Wayland + Nvidia Rtx 3070 Ti + Driver v555 + Kernel v6.9.3

  • Initially noticed a minor lag when opening Application windows. Then reinstalled libnvidia-egl-wayland1 and apparently that lag is now gone. But, honestly I feel Wayland had more smoother performance with v550, than v555.

Either Connect to VPN > Download the Add-on.

Or, on the GitHub or Gitlab page, provide a copy of extension and the instruction to install it locally.

Currently I'm using ungoogled-chromium on Linux just for PWA because of this decision made by Mozilla 😔

Cyberus Develops Open-Source KVM Backend For VirtualBox (www.phoronix.com)
 

Making use of Linux's Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) opens up new possibilities while users can still enjoy the VirtualBox VMM itself. The KVM support is part of the mainline kernel so there is less worries with not having to use the VirtualBox kernel driver, KVM tends to support new features quite quickly, and tends to be more actively developed than VirtualBox and is embraced by a range of organizations. Early users of this backend by Cyberus customers are said to be experiencing better performance too.

The new add-in integrates Nextcloud with Microsoft Teams, allowing users to effortlessly share files and folders stored on their private Nextcloud server directly from the Teams user interface.

This effectively replaces OneDrive (and similar proprietary solutions) with Nextcloud, IMO.

Microsoft Edge's latest AI tool sends open websites to Microsoft - gHacks Tech News (www.ghacks.net)
 

The main idea behind it is to improve the creation of tab groups for the user. The process is automated when the feature is used, which means that you do not have to create tab groups manually anymore and put tabs into them.

Edge sends information about all open websites to a Microsoft server when the option is selected. The AI processes the request then on the server and returns its suggestions after a moment.

While the automatic tab group creation features of Edge and Chrome look useful, privacy conscious users may want to skip those and create tab groups manually instead.

Having your entire list of open websites submitted to a company server without really knowing what is done with it and how it is stored outweighs the convenience of the feature.
