~~but Mozilla itself doesn’t want to broach the topic.~~

Again, a reminder that Mozilla plans to continue support for the Manifest Version 2 blocking WebRequest API (this API powers, for example, uBlock Origin) while simultaneously supporting Manifest Version 3.

~~Years ago, Mozilla would explicitly call ad blocking a privacy feature, and proclaim it explicitly.~~

Ahem! https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/ > https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/adblocker/

Cooking up conspiracy theory instead of research is easy, is not it?

... because Mozilla already clarified their position on this last year.

TL;DR

No, Mozilla is NOT ditching manifest v2.

Well what’s happening with MV2 you ask? Great question – in case you missed it, Google announced late last year their plans to resume their MV2 deprecation schedule. Firefox, however, has no plans to deprecate MV2 and will continue to support MV2 extensions for the foreseeable future. And even if we re-evaluate this decision at some point down the road, we anticipate providing a notice of at least 12 months for developers to adjust accordingly and not feel rushed.

Those won't can access it from Firefox on Linux, use User-Agent Switcher add-on as a workaround.

Do you really think Google will give up on their pole position because of this verdict?

In India, the share of Linux desktop became double just within one year (from 8% to 16%). I only hope this data is right.

Just installed it, and my initial impression -

  • Thanks for dark mode :)
  • UI responsiveness is good.
  • Need an option to increase/decrease width of reading pane.
  • Need multiple themes like Wikipedia website.
  • Require smooth scrolling (I'm on 240 Hz monitor but scroll doesn't feel smooth on this app, though apparently uses GPU acceleration)

I was reading somewhere that Intel will publish a tool to verify that.

Anyone tried this beta version yet? Any idea how stable it is?

[–] KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for the additional details.

The scariest part of this whole problem is there is no way for the owners of i13/14 CPU to figure out to what extent the CPU is damaged. It's like holding a ticking bomb without knowing when that will go off!

Yes, but then who will dare to buy from them in future?

Care to share the proof that Mozilla sells user data to anyone?

 

Note: Xface wiki doesn't explicitly mention version 4.20 comes with Wayland support.

Making use of Linux's Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) opens up new possibilities while users can still enjoy the VirtualBox VMM itself. The KVM support is part of the mainline kernel so there is less worries with not having to use the VirtualBox kernel driver, KVM tends to support new features quite quickly, and tends to be more actively developed than VirtualBox and is embraced by a range of organizations. Early users of this backend by Cyberus customers are said to be experiencing better performance too.

 

With this Intel Thread Director Virtualization to ensure the VM can properly manage task placement between P and E cores, the feature ended up yielding around 14% better performance than the status quo. That 14% win was with the 3DMark benchmark running on a Windows VM.

 

The new add-in integrates Nextcloud with Microsoft Teams, allowing users to effortlessly share files and folders stored on their private Nextcloud server directly from the Teams user interface.
