You are literally helping the "big corpo" doing that.

Firefox was mostly funded by Alphabet/Google to avoid antitrust lawsuits/promote their search engine, one of the best scenarios for the "big corpo" is a product (firefox) that doesn't have many users and cater to the most anti-corpo users (users that wouldn't like to use "big corpo" products anyway). At this point mozilla is just a bussiness expense for the big corpo, the cost of doing bussiness.

"Big corpo" can argue, "look we are even funding the competence", the competence need to be small but relevant enough, so while you are thinking that you are fighting the "big corpo" the reality is that you are just helping to keep firefox relevant enough that the "big corpo" can't be sued.

Part 2 is a very dumb take.

The objetive of fido2 is to avoid phishing in the scenario of a third party actor trying to authenticate from a terminal that isn't the origin of the token emission, since it has origin binding.

So obviously if the third party actor is acting from a compromised terminal with access to the fido2 key, they can be the origin of the request.

firefoxkekw··on Ask HN: Any legal place to buy offline TV movie downloads?
You can use an external device that stream the movie to the tv from Netflix, HBO, etc. This way you don't need to connect your tv to the net.

I personally use the nvidia shield tv pro.

firefoxkekw··on Feel the power of the Manifest v3
I guess most tech people is already using pfblockerng or a pihole, so they are going to benefit from the better security of v3 plus using uBlock lite for cosmetic filtering.
