A New Chapter for Mozilla

Pirating on Mac extremely slow
hey there, after doing some research it seems like the conclusion is your vpn. Nord VPN has a lack of port forwarding, while other vpns have port forwarding (proton, mullvad). that is most likely interrupting your speed. also, apparently nord does keep some sort of logs if your interested in that. i would recommend cancelling nord and getting something else like proton or mullvad (i would recommend proton more) if you really want to download movies/shows. another option for you (if you dont want to switch) is to find your movie on websites that don't require a vpn (aka not torrenting) but you can if you want to. you can use this for that, they have tons of movies and shows. or just use a streaming site off of the megathread.

Why does the Mullvad installer need 500mb and access to my downloads folder?
The 500 MiB thing is because the frontend is an Electron app. That's sadly how it is with Electron. The UI can of course be re-written into a language/framework that produces way smaller programs, but it's not currently really worth the tradeoff. Most people are not that constrained in disk or internet speeds. https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/issues/1572
The downloads folder access thing is because Apple made it so. If you run an installer from the downloads folder it will need access to the downloads folder. This has nothing to do with Mullvad, but is a permission check macOS puts on all software. The Mullvad VPN app has no code for doing anything in the Downloads folder specifically.

Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month
Requiring an account for search is a deal breaker. They say they need it for payment, but mullvad[0] does just fine without an account as well.

Why is there still no official support for openSUSE?
I don't understand why the .rpm package of Mullvad VPN still only officially supports Fedora. This issue on GitHub has been open for almost three years now and there is even someone else trying to help you making the necessary changes to support openSUSE in this PR. I kinda agree with cornfeedhobo's sentiment that the necessary changes to make it work on openSUSE are being gated. I'm a paying user for quite some years already and made the switch to openSUSE and I'd really like to continue using Mullvad VPN there without having to force install the .rpm package and thus living with a lot of uncertainty about how well it will run.
- Is there any reason why there isnt a "Connect to fastest server" option?

mullvad marked as malicious by virustotal?? I mary's says it's a trojan
It's just a false-positive. If you're still wary, feel free to review the source code of the app and you can even build it yourself: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/

Accessibility zoom bug on Android ?
The issue should be fixed in the very latest version available. If you can try updating to version 5.181.1 (available in the Play Store or directly from https://github.com/duckduckgo/Android/releases/tag/5.181.1), that should fix the issue.

What are some open source android projects that you can go to see Best practices or how they implemented stuff

looks good, but is it? "App Tracking Protection blocked 66066 tracking attempts in Reddit and 1 other app (past hour)"
DuckDuckGo isn't sending your data anywhere, it's just acting as a filter between your apps and the internet. It's open source, so you can view the code to verify it yourself, and build it to run on your phone. And rest disturbed, if it was up to sketchy stuff, it would lose a lot of what it is staking its reputation on

Go FOSS: Information is power
Lots of things I like about the site. For one, I value that privacy has been highlighted.
They feature Firefox but it requires so much work to tweak. I feel this is a reflex recommendation though I do, very much, like that FF allows itself to be tweaked.
On the Desktop... I much prefer LibreWolf - which I didn't see listed. It is what Firefox should be.
On mobile, I prefer DuckDuckGo's Android browser. Firefox mobile comes bundled with 3 trackers! Why must you always shoot yourself in the foot, Mozilla? It's never ending.
DDG is not only open source (https://github.com/duckduckgo/Android) but it also does not have a single tracker. If that wasn't enough, it comes with a module called App Tracking Protection. It's brilliant. It blocks trackers from other apps. I cannot recommend this enough. The sheer amount of information collected from apps on your phone...
I have had apps at 30 attempts in the first few seconds and reach 1,000 tracking attempts within 1/2 an hour. Every single item - from contacts to specific location - is constantly being polled. Every app seems to be running spyware from various vendors - even my banking app.
Wall of text, time to stop. Nice site, love that it's not afraid to be technical.

DuckDuckGo Browser Privacy Myth ?
DuckDuckGo is reputable and their browser is open source. They don't track and report the stuff they see, they just block it.

Duck duck go is it really that private?
To be honest, I don't see any need for a DuckDuckGo browser. After their response to this issue, I personally wouldn't consider touching them. But even without that...why? Even without the horrendous privacy violation and the arrogant attempt to brush it away, is there anything DuckDuckGo's browser does that Firefox doesn't do better? I'm not aware of anything.
