• OMG Ubuntu ☛ Firefox’s Tab Notes Feature Feels Genuinely Useful (For Me, At Least)

  Something has changed in my browsing habits of late, and I’m not sure I like it. I used to be a “if I don’t need it, close it” guy. Now? 25 tabs open – a mix of news articles, code repos, drafts and random stuff I swore I’d revisit… only I don’t remember why. But it seems Firefox has a fix for my forgetfulness in the works: Tab Notes. As the name suggests, Tab Notes are small text notes you can attach to any tab.

• [Old] Andrew Moore ☛ Misconceptions about Firefox's Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement

  Mozilla has shipped with Firefox 128.0 its experimental Privacy Preserving Attribution API. The feature, which is enabled by default, has received a lot of pushback from individuals online. As someone who values privacy, I do believe that this pushback is misguided. Reading about its raison d’être as well as reading the technical details of the implementation12 convinces me that this is genuinely an important step forward towards eliminating invasive personal tracking by AdTech companies.
