As read from my Mozilla Firefox…
Why foes government allow spyware on its own hardware?
My govt website and other things allow only latest Microsoft edge and Google Chrome. Firefox isn’t allowed it seems.
I’m going to go way out on a limb here and guess nothing will happen if I do neither.
“Well, BYE!”
Great reference. Also, you can do gifs in Lemmy. Not sure if everyone knows that or not.
Ooo being fancy with .webp
So google manufactured a (possibly false) security risk to force users into updating to manifest v3 software?
its not a false security risk, it really is unsecure to withhold updates.
the bullshit comes from what they are doing.
delete…
Amazing how these big corps hate freedom.
We get it guys, you use Firefox.
Would you like to take a moment to talk about our lord and savior, Firefox ?
On Arch, btw
Meanwhile my school still uses Chrome v109 since that was the last version that supported Windows 8
We still use it in biology ,but not in IT we have windows 10 or 11 on them I always install Firefox on them if it isn’t already there one time some Ukrainian kid set the language .
I choose to just continue not having it in the first place. I uninstalled it from my work PC a year ago and never put it on either personal install. Definitely haven’t missed it.
But you’re missing out on all those privacy violations, and spying!
Yeah, no one’s thinking of the exhibitionists! For shame!
Which of you fools still use Google products?
I have to use for work, because all our customer only uses chrome or chrome-based browser :(
Show them the way!!! … to Firefox.
Well it’s me bc my job :
- YouTube Revanced for entertainment
- MicroG for account for apps that need google dependency for work
- Gmail for personal email although nowadays i rarely used it because my client rather used Telegram or WhatsApp
- GDrive for backup
I highly recommend looking at something like Proton for 3 and 4. Or backblaze for 4 if it’s truly for backup.
Thx for recommendations bro
I already used proton but that’s only for truly personal stuff, a lot of things on my country only support Microsoft mail or google sadly that’s why I’m still using gmail for works, same thing like WhatsAppNow i only need recommendations for YouTube apps that can sync playlist from my YouTube (like SpMp music player), bc i hate using YtRevanced patch every time YouTube roll out new apps
Ah. I still have a “gmail” account but it’s entirely for the places that require a Google account now.
As for YouTube, I just stumbled across this thread: https://lemmy.zip/post/16741291
What a pos company
I really need to start to de-google my life
Check out https://www.privacyguides.org, they have a bunch of useful info and recommendations.
Remember, it’s not an all-or-nothing situation, every step you take away from google helps. And you can always reevaluate later, and take time to figure out what works best for you.
headlines have focused on the detrimental effect this will have on ad blockers, which will need to adopt a complex workaround to work as now. There is a risk that users reading those headlines might seek to delay updating their browser, to prevent any ad blocker issues; you really shouldn’t go down this road—the security update is critical.
It’s almost like tying together feature updates with security updates was a deliberate choice by tech companies so that they could tell users shit exactly like this.
How can there be any real market choices when software literally tells users “for your own safety, you must abandon the things you want, and take the things we give you”.
We’re all trying to figure out where these headlines came from. The stable channel with all the fixes does not (at this time) bundle the warning. How is that users have become confused and believe the dev channel is the only way to get security fixes?
When it comes to open source software, market choices aren’t nearly as necessary because new ones can be created at will and very low cost by forking. But in the abstract thech companies are definitely not interested in choices. Choices don’t maximize profits.
