Anti-cheat is always malware (or at best it's DRM), that sometimes reduces cheating in games.

Any "fumble" is the result of the object of your affection making their own choices, lol.

Wait "the obvious" one isn't supposed to be the she/they from steven universe? On tumblr?

Ooh. I saw someone respond to you saying you liked Waterfox, with their comment being about disliking the sidebar.

You can completely disable the sidebar in Waterfox and it's not enabled by default.

To get rewarded for having those sponsors, Mozilla needs to inform those sponsors that its users clicked the sponsors. How would they do that without sending data about how many users clicked the sponsors? Any monetization of an Internet feature requires some form of tracking to be implemented.

Solder mod + native hardware = there will be input lag. If you're truly desperate to play Gamecube in HD 16:9 on a flat screen, emulation is the way.

man, of all the times to accidentally a word in a post, he threw an extra "to" into his post making fun of people's grammar. Unless he's trying to use "to English" as a verb, which seems unlikely.

When I did research a couple days to decide between Librewolf or Waterfox or Floorp, I checked out Librewolf's excellent FAQ page, which says that by default it purges history.

On iOS your option is Safari and that's what you've been using, even if the icon says Firefox or Chrome or Brave. It's against Apple store TOS to have a web browser with an engine in it - they all have to be skins for Safari (Webkit). Different "iOS Browsers" will offer features on top of the Safari that actually does the browsing though, like account sync or built-in ad filtering.

The only platforms out there that are more hostile to open source software than iOS are like, game consoles.

Any downstream fork of Firefox. All the good of Firefox and Gecko (including addons), none of the Mozilla corporation. The most popular ones seem to be Waterfox and Floorp (for "most users") and LibreWolf for privacy diehards.

You can copy your Firefox profile folder directly into a fork's profile folder and have everything exactly as you left it (though doing this to Librewolf will likely overwrite some of Librewolf's privacy-first default settings like purging history every time the browser closes)

On iOS you are already stuck with every browser being a Safari+Webkit skin. Even Chrome "Isn't chromium" on iphones. But mobile iOS "Firefox" can still use Mozilla (or self-hosted) sync to desktop Waterfox (etc).

Since Reddit is restoring comments from deleted accounts, even if they were overwritten by a script instead of deleted, I was wondering if there were a tool similar to PowerDeleteSuite that allowed not deleting the original content of the comment.

For example, say I left a comment that said:

Great job with this!

I'd love an extension that would leave that as:

Consider leaving Reddit for Lemmy or kbin. Edit added 6/23/2023. Great job with this!

and do that to all of my prior comments on the site. I doubt that'd be rolled back by the admins the way that deleted comments and obvious script-edited comments are and also turns any comments I've left as tech support (that people might find via google searches) into an ad to migrate to a federated alternative.
