Why Do Privacy Advocates Favor Closed-Source IOS?
I made this at one point to counter that anti-Linux FUD; I still maintain it but not as religiously -- it's become too polarised and no one on that sub is logical once they've made up their minds (which perhaps applies to me also, but shrug !)

Question for restic users
try https://github.com/xkcd386at/scripts/blob/master/restic-find-fzf if this interests you. Like a lot of my tools, this one also uses the amazing fzf program to help you select files or directories to extract

need help implementing s feature into a script
So... https://github.com/xkcd386at/scripts/blob/master/fclone (and yes the program name is probably even less imaginative than rfync -- suggestions welcome)

Why MFA isn't Foolproof?
as for session token stealing, on Linux at least I have long advocated using multiple userids to run browsers -- I log on to gmail in a user called x3-gm, to amazon in a user called x3-amz, and so on. All simultaneously and without having to logoff/logon. https://github.com/xkcd386at/scripts/blob/master/usff has the details, but that's not important; the main idea is to not use the default locations for any important logged in site. Sure there is some pain in manually moving files between userids (e.g., move statement from bank userid to gmail userid to send to my accountant), but it's not hard and some judicious use of /tmp or similar can help a lot

It's getting hard to use and recommend Firefox, I'm afraid for the free web
Re: firefox and privacy, if you want to use firefox for privacy, consider using https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js . There is a case to be made that Firefox (with arkenfox's user.js) is one of the best privacy-respecting but still fairly usable browsers.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
For extensions, I recommend people follow the recommendations[1] in the arkenfox repo and either harden their firefox or use librewolf. Umatrix is unmaintained since 2019.

If you make time to dig through settings and change them away from their official use (99% of users don't), then you should use a customized setup (in this case, a user.js). That way, you're good to go no matter what Firefox fork you use.

Google Chrome just rolled out a new way to track you and serve ads
> Firefox remains a stable option to come back to everytime
Don't get me wrong, I've been using Firefox for the last decade and I don't intend on using anything else for the foreseeable future, but Mozilla has no idea what they're doing with Firefox nowadays. Firefox View is the most useless thing I've ever seen, that expiring "independent voices" theme picker was some weird hippie stunt[1], the latest UI redesign which split the tab from the window looks hideous, and it's not like Firefox doesn't have things you can tweak for a more private experience[2]. I miss Firefox Test Pilot where they tried out different new features, I found a lot of them to be very useful but sadly lots of them didn't make it.

I don't understand what's so good about Firefox
Like others have said you can customize the browser to the point that it doesn't even look like the default anymore. Or customize it to maximize privacy.
