Re: µMatrix thread
Nope, the redirect doesn't stop, even after agreeing to the new ToU. Goes by very quickly, but, with the scope greenlit, seeing something like TLS handshake with guce.advertising.com, so guessing that it needs to verify that the ToU have been accepted on each login. Well that is indeed horribly dum...

Re: µMatrix thread
It's an advertising system, and chances are due to the new GDRP rules, they are trying to show you an updated terms and conditions and privacy disclosures or whatnot and it is being detected as an advertising redirection (rightfully so given the context) and is blocking it.

Re: Scammers Jamming Your Browser
Thankfully so far, my setup is so tightly configured that this has not been an issue for me, I even have voluntarily visited the links in question (when reported to me) on my own production machine and it feel like a thud, but then again my configuration is not the most "user-friendly" and...

Re: Mozilla Firefox to force its own DNS?
It is always fine with me. What I say publicly is always fair game.
You can pickup on that existing conversation, that would help me stay informed but that's entirely up to you.
I have no reason to doubt his intentions are sincere and his efforts are genuine.

Re: Mozilla Firefox to force its own DNS?
My takeaway is that he prefers people use the other projects that now he is also relying on as anything he does to "update" his end will just be a bandaid, as in why not just use what the underlying system directly instead. That's all. He seems to prefer the more actively maintained projec...

DNSCrypt.eu = A free DNSSEC enabled, non-logged and uncensored DNSCrypt service by Simon Clausen = Individual Hosting = RamNode = just a host, you host your site on GoDaddy that doesn't make you GoDaddy = "DNSCrypt.eu is operated by me, Simon Clausen." You could do some research but again ...

Re: Mozilla Firefox to force its own DNS?
That service is hosted by an individual and I am not saying it is bad, but it seems that it has had no activity since 2016 and currently many of its links are 404, just be careful using services unless you can vet them thoroughly. Many VPN services outright say they won't log anything but that is in...

Re: Guide:How to run 2 versions of Fx on the same system
Nice, been doing this for a long time already as I use 56 as my daily driver and even then I simultaneously need to run two different profiles at times. On top of that I have ESR and Quantum on the system for Java and testing respectively and I keep them out of each other's hair and without crossove...

Re: How is it possible for add-ons to be proprietary
So in conclusion the only way to be sure that by using an add-on you're running only free open software is to check: its license that all files in its XPI are source files and not binary files every last line of its source code, because in one line it can fetch proprietary unknown code and execute ...
