Ask HN: How can we help Firefox not to dissapear?
»
https://github.com/JustOff/ca-archive
A lot of people care a lot. 15,000 developers falsifies your ludicrous "no one in the world cares about.
Like many others, you are mixing up "I don't care" with "nobody cares", and you are wrong.

Does anyone know if there is a XKit Rewritten equivalent for Pale Moon?
No, it's impossible. PM doesn't support Web Extensions. You can look at the more than 200 extensions on the PM addons site, or legacy XUL addons on CAA (maybe even an older version of the one you mentioned).

Every browser sucks
(Upfront notice, I've never used RSS's myself) Pale Moon comes with Live Bookmarks RSS, but https://realityripple.com/Software/XUL/LiveClick-Lunar/ upgrades it to something a bit more. You can also use https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/bamboo-feed-reader/ or https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/sidebar-feed-reader/ and/or even https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/inforss-reloaded/ for displaying headlines in the statusbar. There's even an addon for sits that don't support RSS; https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/update-alert/. If none of those will do, there are also a lot of entries in caa:list?q=RSS from https://github.com/JustOff/ca-archive.
- Does Firefox/Chrome extensions work on Palemoon ?

Is there an add on like "dark reader"?
JustOff's Advanced Night Mode worked well for me and has been around for a good while and really did not need an alternative. It hasn't been updated for the 30.0 GUID change but will work again when 30.1 is out and works in 29.*. https://justoff.github.io/ for the overall list or https://github.com/JustOff/advanced-night-mode/releases/tag/1.0.13 to go straight to the download page.

Mozilla’s Vision for the Evolution of the Web
»
https://github.com/JustOff/ca-archive
For me, before Firefox 57, it worked superbly for me. Afterwards, of my 13 essential addons, only 2 still worked and one of those was trivial and unimportant.
It destroyed my browser and drove me away from using Firefox after nearly 20 years, dozens of computers and ½ dozen different operating systems.
Other cut functionality:
The best cross-platform FOSS email client, by far, is Mozilla Thunderbird. Mozilla has repeatedly tried to kill it.
https://www.theregister.com/2020/01/30/mozilla_thunderbird_h...
Mozilla also has cut off Seamonkey, the original Mozilla Internet Suite.
https://www.seamonkey-project.org/
Mozilla code is the one remaining FOSS WYSIWYG HTML editor, as included in Seamonkey.
It threw it out.
So far the following forks tried to maintain it:
Kompozer: https://sourceforge.net/projects/kompozer/
NVu: http://www.nvu.com/
BlueGriffon: http://bluegriffon.org/
Mozilla has no real idea why people use Firefox or what they want. It has forced wildly unpopular new features on people, such as the Australis theme.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/974802
It's forced telemetry that kicked the entire browser offline for millions:
https://www.theregister.com/2022/01/18/foxstuck_firefox_brow...
And yet it includes a huge complicated "developer mode" that 99.9% of users never want and never see.
Mozilla's Boot2Gecko became FirefoxOS which became KaiOS, the fastest-growing mobile OS in the world.
Mozilla abandoned FirefoxOS.
KaiOS is proprietary. Mozilla licensing should make that illegal. Is Mozilla enforcing it? No. Who wrote the license? Mozilla CEO Mitch Baker.
Salary: $3 million in 2020.
Also 2020: Mozilla fired 250 people, quarter of its workforce.

Detect when your installed Chrome extensions have changed owners
Recently my favorite open source mouse gestures extension SmartUp Gestures was taken over by some shady entity (with github no longer being updated of course).
I opened Chrome ticket that they should ask to re-enable extension when ownership changes. They just closed the ticket replying with this link:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/extens...
:(

Supermium – Chromium fork for Win 2003 and newer
Hmm. It looks like files with the .lnk or .pif file extension can only be downloaded on a user gesture: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/39841e54180...
So it can't be done silently. Although, I do wish the type was marked "DANGEROUS" a la dll files.

New Linux glibc flaw lets attackers get root on major distros
On Linux, Chromium uses setuid or user namespaces to restrict the access of sandboxed components and seccomp-bpf to reduce the kernel attack surface.

You can also disable JIT in Firefox by setting javascript.options.baselinejit to false in about:config, although you won't get CET.

Google Is Tracking You Even in Incognito Mode, New Disclaimer Is Up
For the sake of completeness, I've traced the evolution of the notice over time:
From 2008-07-26: "Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of: / • Websites that collect or share information about you / • Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit / • Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys / • Surveillance by secret agents / • People standing behind you" (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/09911bf300f...)
From 2013-12-07: "Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, software, or people standing behind you." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/c5e36c57178...)
From 2013-12-13: "However, you aren't invisible. Going incognito doesn't hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, or the websites you visit." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/70821506825...)
From 2014-02-27: "However, you aren't invisible. Going incognito doesn't hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, governments and other sophisticated attackers, or the websites you visit." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/ab54bd65701...)
From 2014-04-29: "Going incognito doesn't hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, or the websites you visit." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/eb09a62ef40...)
From 2016-01-15: "However, you aren't invisible. Going incognito doesn’t hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, or the websites you visit." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/b7dac1a6a79...)
From 2017-02-27: "Your activity might still be visible to: / • Websites you visit / • Your employer / • Your internet service provider" (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/cfe102adddc...)
From 2017-03-29: "Your activity might still be visible to: / • Websites you visit / • Your employer or school / • Your internet service provider" (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/7ca3ccf74e8...)
(Note that some of these were behind a feature flag for a few months.) Also, it looks like they've been intending to modify the new-tab page text for Incognito windows for some time, as part of the "Revamped Incognito NTP" project. You can view the modified text with 'chromium --enable-features=IncognitoNtpRevamp':
From 2021-08-13: "What Incognito doesn't do / Incognito does not make you invisible online: / • Sites know when you visit them / • Employers or schools can track browsing activity / • Internet service providers may monitor web traffic" (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/e6ae57ba385...)
From 2022-01-25: "What Incognito doesn't do / Incognito does not make you invisible online: / • Sites and the services they use can see visits / • Employers or schools can track browsing activity / • Internet service providers can monitor web traffic" (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/8b349f6c984...)
The incognito warning has always said that websites can still track you.* Point (b) won't be helped much by letting people know that Google is also a website.

People like me are why you shouldn't run a hosting company
I think its weird that Vercel has this limit. There is no practical reason I can think of for having such a limit on URL characters that is so small. Chrome suggests a 2MB limit[0] for example. The platform itself doesn't have one, and Firefox I believe if memory serves (I can't find the source for this claim atm) is 1 MB effectively, and I don't think Safari is any lower than that either (and may well be more inline with Chrome on this, at 2 MB)
