Might be worth reporting a bug against the Snap version? I think there’s usually a “Report a bug” menu entry under “Help” in the menu?

Unrelated because it’s a different problem, but if a website actually disables your right-click, try holding Shift while right-clicking.

Ah I was just wondering, been a while since LWD tried to stir up some Mozilla-related controversy.

It does clarify that neither he nor anyone else involved wants people to speculate. Since he’s the one being publicly shamed, and whatever other parties there are presumably felt that they were victim to something, seems like a good idea to respect that.

Seems reasonable? Adding a video codec makes you more identifiable than PPA does.

Just like today, yes.

Tell me, what data does an advertiser know about me if I have enabled this feature? You can assume that I don’t run any tracking protection, no ad blocker, and all telemetry enabled.

I’ve been using this for a bit on Nightly, and though I’m wary of sacrificing website screen real estate to the browser, I must say that I found out that I’m using the new buttons quite often. Or rather, I had been using them a lot via the menu, and it’s actually pretty nice having them easily available.

Turns out I use the forward button a lot because I’ve enabled gesture navigation, and often accidentally move back. Ironically I use gesture navigation to save on screen real estate, so maybe I should stop using that 😅

Other than that both refresh, share and new tab are in very heavy rotation, and it now feels like a slog to have to open a menu for them. I say, give it a shot!

What I mean as beforehand is before it lands in nightly. If the Figma links weren’t locked down, people would’ve said it’s a shit idea before the first patch was even written.

Right, but it’s not a huge patch, especially if the only change needed is the addition of a toggle, so it feels like it’s still well within the margins of being in time. I do agree that it would be nice if the Figma files were public, though at the same time I also understand that maybe you don’t necessarily need criticism on rough ideas for which not a single line of code has written. And it’s also pretty hard for outside contributors to actually collaborate on designs, though maybe there are solutions imaginable for that :/

And yeah, glad we actually did manage to find common ground after all!

I won’t deny that Mozilla should be friendlier to community contributions.

But this is exactly it:

I enjoy testing things and shaping the future of Firefox.

So when you say:

people would’ve said beforehand

This is beforehand! You’re using Nightly so you can help shape this feature; so that that option to toggle it off gets added before this reaches regular users.

(I can also assure you that Firefox is a passion for many of the people who work on it. Some of them are pretty active on Mastodon, too.)

Right, but why don’t you just use Firefox stable? It’s not clear that that will ever have this behaviour without being able to toggle it off.

Seriously, let me say it explicitly: I admit I’m wrong.

Care to finally tell me now what’s so bad about only Nightly hiding the path from the URL bar?

I really don’t follow this… I’m just curious what you think the problem is, but no matter how often I ask it, you seem to think I’m saying that you’re wrong.

For absolute clarity, we both agree on the following, right?

• This app hides the path from the URL bar.
• This app currently still shows the full URL in the URL bar.

So I’m not saying you’re wrong about anything. I am still very curious about what the problem is, but you don’t seem to want to answer that, for the third time now?

Ah gotcha, thanks for bringing in the source - that does come down to the ISRG selling it. The thing I’d missed in your quote is that it’s referring to aggregate data. So yeah, how that meshes with what I’ve read is that the ISRG won’t be able to view user data, but indeed the ad performance data would be sold to advertisers.

OK, doesn’t matter who coined it, I’m just curious why you think it matters.

for the third party services that do the aggregating, which will “sell” (literal quote) the aggregate data

You’re saying you’re literally quoting the ISRG as planning to sell the data? Because that goes directly against what I’ve read about this, which I believe says that they wouldn’t even be able to because they can’t see the data.

Yours.

So yes,

your definition of “landed” is “someone wrote the code and now it’s in Nightly”, then sure, but why is that a problem?

So why is that a problem?
