I don't want to lie about my UA but I have to change it in order to avoid Cloudflare's CAPTCHA. Cloudflare passes Tor Browser's UA for IP addresses of Tor exit nodes. Btw, Cloudflare distinguishes its users by TLS/SSL fingerprinting as well as by HTTP headers including UA. I must doubt that organizations encouraging TLS/SSL want fingerprinting more beyond security. Hey, Tor Project and EFF, don't be evil...

Firefox usage fell by 1.02% from 2020-05 to 2021-05, so over the next three years, it should fall to about 0.3%, and I guess it's pretty much dead at this point, so it will merge with Chromium, I bet. Edit: I knew someone already said it.

I thought I was the only sane one

Calling it now, Firefox will move to Chrome's browser engine, too.

But I usually can enable only some of the scripts. Besides, there are probably better ways of tracking someone, like cough the FLoCing FLoC. cough

But since I don't use Chromium browsers any more, they can't actually do that, and I doubt it's coming to Firefox, unless you count its inevitable death.

Some sites only work by enabling scripts.

I don't even change my user agent most of the time, so it just equals to what my browser is, but pretending to be Windows 10 while I actually have Windows 7, so it is Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0 currently (this is what LibreWolf does by default, btw).

So anyway, the only time the user agent differs from the defaults is when I want to enable a desktop version on mobile and when I want to bypass getting user agent blocked because I'm using Wget, so I usually just empty it (or set it to a browser user agent because it also gets blocked).

Also, since I block third party scripts with uMatrix by default, there's not much point to constantly changing the user agent because the trackers won't see it anyway.

The F-Droid (free software android app repository) team has decided to migrate from Freenode to OFTC.

No single user-agent would protect your privacy anyway. What I do is to let my user-agent switch every ten minutes. Also, user-agent not only carries browser information, but also browser version and operating system.

Having scripts blocked per default also helps.

I don't mind websites knowing my user-agent is fake. I mind websites having the ability to track me based on my user-agent. Thus my user-agent changes automatically.

Newbie question. What is this?

I don't understand AdNauseum. If it "clicks" on ads, isn't it allowing third parties to track your browsing all over the internet?

I assume they add passwords to the next list...

The key thing for cracking passwords is, at some point it is way faster to search every password anybody has ever thought of, than to search every password anyone possibly could think of.

Yes, an honest site would just let you look up in the index starting with any string of letters, so you didn't have to give away your password in the process. Therefore, this is not an honest site. Q.E.D.

Faster proof: It's a site, from a company, on a computer. Therefore it is spying on you and selling your information. Q.E.D.

"Here, I'm going to give you this ID card to present everywhere you go in order to protect your privacy" -- and people believe them -- there really are no limits to stupidity!

Looks like a plain old copyvio: https://www.concrete-online.co.uk/chinese-censorship-tank-man-sold-to-chinese-firm/ After all, once you believe the right of people to see and share images is "property", how can you object to China?

This site seems to have brought in some of the last few people left who believe in a right to "free speech", and that's a good thing.

The right not to be as dumb as a sack of hammers is a good thing also, and it's a shame the neo-Nazis didn't use it.

So just curious... Is this a neonazi forum?

I heard there's a connection to Raddle, but...

Love is dooom, CONFIRMED.

Seems like the OG Freenode staff are working on https://libera.chat/ now.

I don't mind. Not that there's a lot of demand to moderate anything anyway..
