I don't know, I feel like some of the more pressing features of this browser are already provided with add-ons such as Vimium. And I would really like to see this on a Firefox back-end / compatible with the likes of uBlock origin. I don't want to have another chrome derivative that has a fancy new UI to boast.

It uses WebKitGTK, not Chrome.

As for why not vimium?

Hm, not sure if I did something against that already, but for me the option in about:preferences was unchecked and also I am unable to check it. I am not sure why that is, anyone has an idea?


If it's disabled (greyed-out), then you already have telemetry disabled.


Because this went viral a few times now


I would not exactly expect innovation.

I would expect: fair pricing, local (as in the country you live in) hosting (for legal reasons), features like using your own domain, maybe service for calDAV cardDAV etc. to tie up the bundle.

Also no user data aggregation, no excessive logging, etc.

Really, the one thing I would look for to recommend this to others is having that _and_ ease of use for non-techies.


"oh sorry, the computers at fault here, cant do nothing about it" - god I hate that line of reasoning. Its your system, so its your responsibility.


The deletion of the account would not delete commits associated with it. The commit would still contain everything potentially malicious, plus a reference to an account that would be deleted. Which is actually worse, you cant track what code a malicious actor has contributed (easily). So the correct thing to do is take away login / deactivate the account, and then start going through all contributions and check them via the account that references all of this.


Would be cool if there was a big warning icon with "ACCOUNT LOCKED: STATE ACTOR" like for cheaters on chess websites


I could see someone perceiving the usage of the word condom in this context as negatively connotated. Its not the word condom that is wrong in itself, its more to do with devaluing a condom and the usage of such.

See, to make a more practical example, if one has sex and uses a condom its not nice to think of it like a subsidiary company that is used to keep off the results of GDPR violations on your behalves. The usage of condoms should IMHO be viewed in a more positive light.

edit: forgot an "of"


It's not the condom that is being perceived negatively, it's the diseases that are.

Condoms, in this usage case are protecting, how can that be negative?

In terms of word shiftage, people literally misuse the word genocide, so how can one be concerned with this positive use of condom?


I'm just waiting till the first customer of some shady contract binding them to a greedy software company would use that to declare a payment as illegal and therefore that they cannot make it. Would be funny news like "XYZ says it cant pay oracle, declares it a ransom payment" :D


I am not that mutch of TUI interface user myself but I can recommend taking a look into ranger. Its a file manager with vi-like key binds that I enjoy because its for me a way faster way to explore in the terminal. It cuts the whole ls - cat - less - vim - cd workflow to a couple of keypresses and nice customizable previews in the terminal while browsing.


how is that relevant?


You do know that Antifa stands for Anti Fascism and is a political movement not a defined group, right?


A common Antifa defensive trope. Label enemies as bad guys and thus justify any violence against them.

Antifa started in Eastern Germany in the 30s to spread communism worldwide. They also called conservatives "fascists" which would provide them a convenient scapegoat to commit violence.

> A common Antifa defensive trope. Label enemies as bad guys and thus justify any violence against them.

Is this you?

> Antifa, who is a violent political extremist group.

Seems like the trope is actually you calling antifa "violent", despite all evidence to the contrary, so you can justify violence against peaceful protestors.


How about you link to the modern antifa and not the 1930s one
