  1. Firefox irritations

    The sponsored links enabled on the homescreen by default irritated me some odd days ago. I saw them when I checked a installation on a new Android installation, where I had disabled them, and was also very aware that I had only  patched the Android versions accross all mobile, and X86 elf versions across desktop devices.
    It was a deliberate design choice to reset certain settings, by the Firefox programmers.
    They had also reset ffox DNS feature, parameters, which make no sense, since my ISP DNS is the closest and all my traffic is encrypted anyway

    All those devices had that particular parameter reset {including some local LLM features}

    I'm willing to bet that something similar also happened on BSD machines

    I had to put the disclaimer for the language I used in that particular toot ;)

    It is unfortunate that the forks also seem to get similar problems, just due to the sheer volume of changes that a massive project like Firefox brings with it.

    I've said this decade ago and I repeat it

    One person cannot write a massive undertaking which is called a browser but in reality is a whole operating system which should be in a sandbox
