Thunderbird 128 ESR has a really nice/modern look. Besides, if you don’t like the default look, you have plenty of themes to use with.

Remember when a new major version meant something major changed?

Was nice as it prompted me to go read change notes. Now I have no clue when it’s a collection of minor things or has actual major changes unless I go read every set of change notes.

Now-a-days most of the (browser) software projects are following agile mode and not waterfall mode delivery.

I’m currently sticking to production branch (550) which seems to be more performant for daily usage.

Tuba is now added to Gnome Circle. That’s a good news.

Care to share the proof that Mozilla sells user data to anyone?

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)

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 😔

For What application you face issue? I’m curious as XWayland should provide backward compatibility.

Well, since when Silicon Valley cared about environment or Global warming? It’s all about $ always.

Used Mainline to install it on Ubuntu 23.10. Together with Nvidia driver v550, it is working without an issue for me.

Money and Time – It’s rather easier/cheaper for Organizations nowadays to outsource a part of infra to Cloud service providers.

We’re working on a new anti-tracking feature: Bounce Tracking Protection. It works similar to the existing Cookie Purging feature in Firefox, but instead of a tracker list it relies on heuristics to detect bounce trackers.

It’s based on the navigational-tracking-protections spec draft in the PrivacyCG[1]
