They already have an ad tier (tmobile bundles it into some of their plans). Is this going to be an even more ad tier?

Never knew that; this is special of Mozilla.

Agreed - rather give the people there the ability to install this themselves than have them try to block Firefox overall.

Really wish there was more regulation on this. Everything core instruments should not require software to function.

If only we had lawmakers that kept greedy corporations in check, instead of bickering over bullshit.

I don’t mean that it’s been around for a long time, but the lack of innovation on it.

Plugins in browsers have been a crucial function for years and available on Android. The only reason they’re not on iOS is because Apple forces all browsers to use WebKit instead of Gecko/Blink/etc, like they do everywhere else.

I am more excited that Apple is being forced to allow other browser engines on iOS.

In 2024 I should not be forced to browse ad riddled websites that risk seizures upon loading, and further redirecting you to more shit when you try to close it, on a $1000 handheld computer.

Give us a browser engine that supports proper extensions, not this shit that is as old as the original iPhone!

The Entertainment Software Association had pushed for the exemption for game consoles, arguing that including them would have made it easier to add chips that allow people to play pirated games.

What a load of utter shit. It would allow consumers to fix their things without dealing with crooks. Take a good look at Asus, they’re only the latest example.

The question I find myself asking with new browsers is, if they are truly not gathering and selling your data, then how are they getting/planning to get money? Especially if this is not FOSS

I’ve had to create GP edits to prevent it from happening because it most certainly does.

Even then MS is fantastic at throwing up MFA reauthentication mid meeting or forgetting to throw it up at all and leaving you shadow logged into Outlook/Teams where it will appear functional from your side, but you will it receive anything until you close and reopen the apps.

They’ve had these issues for years and never prioritize fixing them.

You’ve clearly not had an update trigger when you were trying to present something, join a meeting, or simply do a quick restart after installing a program and get hit with a 10min “updating windows; do not shut off”
