I have yet to see the government actually do something about this (because it's costly), but I don't see why Wilders in particular would be against this? This seems totally unrelated to his key issues.

On desktop I think that's less valuable, and personally, I like the confidence of knowing that eg uBO still works, and the predictability of how it will behave.

The Connect thread is interesting; PWAs are a nebulous term and everyone has different use cases for them, so if this allows to cover some of those with significantly less investment, that makes sense to me.

And FWIW, Firefox already supports them on android; this is about desktop support.

Keep in mind though that with Firefox Sync, all your data is encrypted, whereas a generic sync of your profile folder will have all that data on your sync server without encryption.

Ha, I'll be all to happy to worry about a Firefox monoculture if it ever seems we're trending in that direction.

No worries, thanks again!

Which Mozilla projects started out as free and are now non-free, i.e. no longer under an open source (or even viral open source) licence?

It was collapsed for me at first, and buried under a lot of other comments, but a workaround is mentioned here. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to work for me, but deleting the Flatpak and deleting all associated data, and then reinstalling it, I think did the trick.

Although it does now show this warning, which doesn't sound great.

Edit: actually, I think that was the reason I concluded the first workaround didn't work, but looking at that URL, this might just have been introduced in Firefox 128, which is newer than the old version of Tor was based on. So it looks like both worked.

So... How do we do we're running an outdated version, and what is the fix that requires manual intervention?

What the hell, that headline makes it sound like a threat.

Not super weird that it takes a lot less time to destroy everything.

And keep in mind that there's also a big part that's not in SF.
