I did check that out and their web page. It says

When it’s needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what’s easier to do)

So maybe I’ll test it alongside Ublock.

I’m going to take this one away, create a new FF profile and configure. That way I can compare results with my original profile.

selectively, I hope.

There is Easylist Ads (currently enabled) and EasyList/uBO – Cookie Notices (disabled) should I enable this?

It’s something I should research more then.

As far as laws go, I’m in the UK and AFIAK privacy laws are still the same as before we left the EU. Other countries such as the US seem to have less strict laws (apart from the CCPA) which means a lot of US news sites I visit will geoblock me as they don’t want to comply with EU standards.

Also a thread here.

I hate it when someone sends me a PDF form and tells me I can complete it using Acrobat (or whatever it’s called this week). Last one I successfully completed with the Firefox PDF ed.

I watched the movie “Enemy of the State” the other day. It was released in 1998, but it was a true prediction of the future.

They run a full distro rather than the minimalist that Docker containers use. You can also use them to run gui apps but that needs a bit more work to configure. I run Google Chrome sandboxed this way.

If I’m running another Linux distro that will be happy under the host kernel then I use LXD (or Incus) containers. Otherwise it’s QEMU+KVM or occasionally Virtual Box.

Does it matter what front end it uses if the underlying environment is QEMU+KVM. Upvote for tha above.

Good for privacy, IIRC the default is not to load any images/trackers in emails. Mine currently handles three imap accounts inc. a M$ one.

+1 for Organic Maps. Just back from a road trip, used OSM via a browser, this is much better.

Did you try the jellied eels?

I made a typo in the above. If I correct it you’ll be able to break what’s left.

Five Guys have a few restaurants in the UK, but I’d sooner buy my own patties and stuff as I don’t like the buns.

I found mine in $HOME/.wine32/drive_c/windows/system32

Life before snap.
