How much of that is true? What did they sell? Is the conclusion even valid, given the (popular) alternatives?

What's your privacy issues with Firefox? How do they compare to those of the other browsers?

That was overblown drama. They didn't change anything in practice. They clarified things by writing it down. You disable some defaults and have no issue. Even if you don't, it's not nearly as bad as other popular platforms.

I never stopped using Firefox.

If you want I can look for a comment I made quoting the relevant terms a while back. Or you can look for it yourself.

Simple forks still depend on upstream. I'd rather support Mozilla than not, given no better sustainable alternative. They do some good stuff like Firefox, Thunderbird, and mdn.

I meant in that website which seems to be an index of other websites

You ask for a world within a world. I think we already have that.

I still host my own website. And many others do too. You can get individuals perspectives and content there.

Forums still exist. I see Lemmy similarly, in a - for me - better format.

Flash game websites still exist, and javascript-implemented flash-players are not a security risk. There's various newer technologies as well now, which allows you to play those kinds of games too. And there's many good and independent titles and kinds of online games out there. Be it individual or on accumulating websites.

They're neither mutually exclusive alternatives nor universal.

Germany. For the most part, yes.

More than laws, the main issue is probably the understaffed prosecution and court system.

I blocked bing.com on my PC (invalid hostname resolution through hosts entry) because despite best efforts to disable any websearch functionality in Windows search, it still showed up.

I opened a PDF today, that was linked on a website. But the PDF opened in Google Docs (displayed there as x.pdf). The first page loaded fast, but I waited like 10 or 15 seconds for the rest of it - confused whether it's just one page or image or what, and then confused how I change pages if not scrolling, but turned out it just took ages to load.

Just link the damned PDF doc.

On Mastodon it looks like this:

My reply (second screenshot) did not show up here on Lemmy. I assume because lemmy.world blocks replies from mastodon.social.

 

I found the first section about the longest bike tunnel with its design particularly interesting.

(If you know Not Just Bikes, the rest is a lot like their other videos. In this case about the city of Bergen in particular of course.)
