If you allow tiles (er, page thumbs) on newtab page, ff loads each not-yet cached (or you've cleared the cache) url in a hidden window to create a...
Because someone has dragged "ubuntu snaps" into this discussion, I want to mention this Jan 2016 video in which Shuttleworth explains the...
summerheat, thanks for raising awareness regarding the breadth of LTS support coverage.
I read that you (dedoimedo) have pre-ordered an ubuntu Aquaris tablet. Although I, too, hope the "ubuntu tablet" concept will succeed, I was put...
You'll find detailed info logged to /var/log/ syslog and kern.log readable in any text editor. While viewing the file, search for "missing" or...
I'm not xenophobic. Some of my most-cherished software titles are Chinese or Russian -authored. I believe the Aomei developers are brilliant. They...
5yrs back I encountered a freeware utility (find duplicate/similar audiofiles) which started an inbuilt webserver component at each launch. The...
"device drivers" is MSWindows parlance. In linux, they're typically referred to as "kernel modules". Many modules (for common, widespread devices)...
surprised to see you agreeing with this, amarildojr. "not needed in linux" is wrong, is blind, is ignorant. It is NOT necessarily about "malware"...
Too often reviewers of linux distros inanely fuss over petty little details. Further, this particular (er, peculiar) reviewer, across various...
Ghostery or Disconnect is showing... showing requests (or request attempts) to 3p sites whose content is embedded into various sites you've...
you could check, has the issue already been reported? https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues
I'm tempted to reply "no, you obviously don't have your firefox configured to..." but although I suspect you've just overlooked one (or three) of...
No, it's an honor system. There's nothing definitive an extension can use to base an assurance "yer not being tracked". IMO, the DNT thing... is a...
FWIW, about a month ago, after reading about "EME" aka "mediasource extensions", I tracked this down in the ff source code. It presents no...
Editing pref.js is identical to changes via about:config (you wrote "user.js"). Tip: don't edit the js file while the browser is running; your...
thanks, elapsed. That needed to be said. I started typing such a reply the other day, but bailed b/c I couldn't find a polite enough way to say it.
ok, but... already discussed this same article back in November http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/hypocrisy-plaguing-major-vpn-providers.381398/
seems counterintuitive to not assign highest priority to their own repo. Anyhow, MX has an active forum so that would be the best place to...
Yes, many other live distros support the toram boot option. Given the same window manager, desktop environment, and browser... any of 'em are...
(I'm just thinking aloud here) I'm not concerned about hiding from the law, just the would-be profilers, so I'm not put off by the prospect of a...
Anyone discusssing SRI in this thread should (please!) read some background info, e.g. http://githubengineering.com/subresource-integrity/ BTW,...

Whoops, re-reading my post a day later, it seems too disrespectful, too dismissive. Specific to geoclue and similar data leakage, my point was...
Yes, SRI provides exact that -- enables authors to specify href attributes like rel="thisisahash: dh3k5bm3d988d" and the browser is expected to...
Separate names with a comma.
