I have a hard time seeing browser makers truly drop third party cookies without pushing a worse replacement first... Still, it's nice to see the W3C take a stand in the matter.
Reminder of why privacy matter and why we shouldn't collectively give in to the data vultures.
Now is the time to wake up and get those surveillance devices out of people's homes...
The writing was on the wall. This is an unsurprising development but Edge users should know where it's going...
They really never learn... Whatever the country politician try to blindly fight against cryptography again and again. Let's hope this one is stopped.
Maybe it'll at least be a wake up call for governments and businesses to let go of their US cloud addiction. There are reasons why you don't want such vendor lock-in. The political drama unfolding in the United States makes obvious why you should think carefully at how dependent you are from your service and infrastructure providers.
That's a lot of stalkerware in the wild. And this exploit is only about two such apps. What's wrong with people that they install this kind of crap on their loved ones smarphones?
Some powerful bullies want to make the life of editors impossible. Looks like the foundation has the right tools in store to protect those contributors.
The wonderful world of personalised pricing in the age of widespread surveillance... Also becoming personalised wage fixing in the case of gig workers. Shameful.
Definitely this. Sure we should seek for decentralization, but this is not going to happen or be effective without regulation. Ensuring privacy is a legislative and political problem as much as a technical one.
Fascinating research about side-channel attacks. Learned a lot about them and website fingerprinting here. Also interesting the explanations of how the use of machine learning models can actually get in the way of proper understanding of the side-channel really used by an attack which can prevent developing actually useful counter-measures.
A good reminder that this is not the Google Chrome alternative you're looking for. It's the same privacy invading mindset with some bigotry on top.
They're trying a come back... of course they added layers of security to pretend it's all solved and shiny. They totally ignore the social implications or if something like this even needs to be done. At least one can remove it... for now...
It was to be expected that complaints against Mozilla could happen in Europe. They've been asking for it lately...
The quick answer is yes. The longer answer is that more effort is still required to ensure the network has enough diversity of nodes to stay healthy.
There, now this seems like a real thing... your phone recording you while you're not aware for advertisement purposes. Nice surveillance apparatus. Thanks but no thanks.
Here a good reminder that the PR of Telegram is highly misleading. It's not very secure, they don't really care about your privacy.
Since they unfortunately turned on private attribution by default (why? Mozilla, why?). Here is an easy automated way to turn it off.
Apparently this needs to be spelled out for browser providers to understand this needs to go.
You'd expect Mozilla to know better. This is disappointing, they're no living up to their responsibility.
