Why won't keyboard shortcuts work to open the terminal?
I would prefer DE developers to get together and just come up with a common "launch the preferred terminal" spec. Freedesktop.org has got most of the way with xdg-terminal, but a) DEs will want something that doesn't involve running a shell script, and b) xdg-terminal isn't actually shipped in xdg-utils yet anyway.

Vulnerability allows cross-browser tracking in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Tor
No, xdg-utils are absolutely terrible. They're a mess of untested, undebuggable, underdocumented and extremely user unfriendly shell scripts that need to die.
I've once had xdg-open be absolutely broken on my machine, scanning all of my $HOME because of a symlink with a space [1]. Any attempt to use xdg-open would pin a CPU core for 100% while it recursively traversed millions of files because of missing quote characters in a shell script. Truly the pinnacle of software engineering.

Ask HN: Is Firefox really privacy friendly?
I know it's probably way harder than I think but I started a little project [1] to help to address the privacy concerns with firefox. Along the way I discovered there are projects like [2] that aim at hardening firefox settings.

[Shameless endorsement] That's one of the reasons I try to run firefox (and chromium) from within docker/podman container: https://github.com/grzegorzk/ff_in_podman
What are some alternatives?
