But how long does someone want to have the same Deck anyway? Even if it still works perfectly after 5 or 6 years, you probably want to buy a new model at that point anyway, just because it’s better and you have the money.

That website doesn’t have HTTPS.

I had no idea that you could put an Install button on a web page that opens Stylus’s editor.

The HTML version of Gmail is also very dense, maybe even the densest of all Gmail versions.

Google was telling from the start that AMP was only a temporary solution, and that the end-goal of AMP is to disappear.

That person has the time to rewatch every Miyazaki film. Cool for them.

What’s the problem? What matters is that my searches aren’t recorded and added to a profile.

Isn’t there a way to measure ad effectiveness that doesn’t require making exceptions for scripts from tracking domains? Browsers should implement a standard API for this. I trust my browser. I do not trust websites.

What personal data does GA collect?

What do the numbers on the right hand side mean?

Did anyone else misread it as “free time travel”?

1000 RSS feeds for web developers https://github.com/simevidas/web-dev-feeds/blob/master/feeds...

I’m asking generally.

Could you put publication dates below blog post titles on that website?

When was this published?

Are third-party cookies cross-origin or cross-site?

That’s another big claim. If Google did this covertly, and it was found out, Google’s reputation would be in the toilet. That’s why I think they don’t do it.

Google Analytics does not collect any information that could identify the user.

Your claim was about fingerprinting via Google’s scripts on other websites. Such a thing cannot be concealed. JavaScript code is visible. Even if the code is obfuscated, experts can still detect if fingerprinting is performed.

> google's server and loads their JS which fingerprints your browser they have your device logged

This is a big claim. Do Google’s ad-serving scripts really engage in fingerprinting? If yes, then there should be proof. Is there proof? I don’t think it’s possible for Google to do this covertly using JavaScript, so either Google does this and we have proof, or Google doesn’t do this.

This is exactly what the Google Container add-on for Firefox protects against. It stops Google from tracking you across the web because your Google login does not exist when you visit other websites. It only exists within the container.

Unfortunately, it does not have Mozilla’s “Recommended” seal of approval. I assume Mozilla cannot do this because Firefox development is funded by Google, so Mozilla has to tolerate Google’s tracking to some degree.

I’m still using this add-on because I cannot imagine my web browsing life without it.

Does Zoom count as interacting with people?

What about ice cream?

Standard code for the first and third examples, for comparison:

<button onclick="this.classList.toggle('clicked')"> Toggle the "clicked" class on me </button>

<div onclick="aJavascriptFunction(), setTimeout(anotherJavascriptFunction, 10000)"> Do some stuff </div>

The second example (triggering mouseover on #foo) cannot be that easily inlined in an HTML attribute. I think you’d have to create a synthetic event and dispatch it.

Amazon France annoyingly does not offer an English UI. I’m so looking forward for Firefox Translations to add support for French-to-English translations.

> Call a url at google.com with a unique id and the response from that URL will tell yt if you are already signed in.

I don’t think this is possible. When Google.com receives an HTTP request from Youtube.com, Google cannot know which user it is because the user visited Youtube.com anonymously.

What I mean by regulation:

- There is a limit on how many sites the login information can be shared with without notifying the user.

- If the login information is attempted to be shared with a website that is a known tracker, the process is stopped, and the user is explicitly prompted to allow this.

Is there a limit on how many additional websites can receive my login information in the background like this? I feel like this should be more regulated by the browser.

As a Firefox user, I would prefer if the browser informed me about this. If I sign in on Google, Firefox should include this information in the “Remember password” popup. A small warning that says something like, “This login information was shared with youtube.com”.

I understand that. My question is, how? How is Youtube receiving my Google login?
