Cette étude choc de #Mozilla prouve que #Windows manipule votre écran pour tuer #Firefox… mais pas en #Europe !
Votre PC #Windows vous manipule-t-il à votre insu ? La passionnante étude « Over The Edge 2.0 », publiée par #Mozilla, démontre comment #Microsoft utilise des designs trompeurs et l’IA Copilot pour étouffer #Firefox et saboter la libre concurrence. Enfin, pas partout, notamment en #Europe : merci le DMA ! 🦊🔓#Linux :linux:

Taking this moment to point out that pressing 'esc' on a modal in firefox/waterfox will close it visually, but NVDA still maintains focus on the modal contents until you tab out and back into the browser window. It happens with tons of modals, especially the social sign-on ones, so I figure either the same component is being reused and it just doesn't play nice with NVDA, or there's some weird interaction between Gecko and NVDA under certain circumstances... or maybe it actually isn't disappearing visually and does disappear when I tab out and back in for some reason

(Now that's pretty sad, GhostBSD was one of the systems I would consider if I ever decided to switch to BSD.

Well, this is forking intolerable.
#Firefox is officially #enshittified.
It turned on the horrid "sponsored shortcuts" and "sponsored stories" without me asking.
Those stories are the last dadgum thing I ever want to see. I don't want more news about USFASH.
Smeg #Mozilla. I hope Google bumps them off the money-nipple and they crash and burn.
I'm going to try #WaterFox and #LibreWolf again.
