we demonstrably have a better grasp of consent than the (rest of the) tech industry at large

i’ll go against the grain here: Librewolfs’s defaults are firmly “meh” for me. still an improvement over the “what the fuck” that’s happening in Firefox.

pros: nixs the annoying Pocket / AI / “suggested” nonsense by default. no annoying extras.

neutrals: Firefox Sync is off, but one click and a restart to turn back on. reasonable for a non-Mozilla project. no cookies saved by default might be annoying for some, but you can add exceptions right from the URL bar and i only have a dozen or so of those set for various sites. gods, cohost is still in that list…

cons: ResistFingerprinting is IMHO way overkill and breaks nice things like automatic dark modes just for preserving privacy in the 0.001% of cases where browser fingerprinting matters. same as WebGL being off by default – i just don’t need that kind of protection

i still recommend it. Disable ResistFingerprinting, enable WebGL, enable Firefox Sync, and decide for yourself if you want auto-clearing cookies or not. i also always enable vertical tabs because my horizontal space is a lot less constricted than my vertical. (it’s a FF feature!)

oooooh, excellent one… i’ll contribute. a teenager at the time flying out with my family, following my dad’s work. we touched down in Boston i believe. landed late in the afternoon, 10PM or so. we were going to make a grocery trip but nothing nearby was open. so we found some hole-in-the-wall deli place and i got the thing that sounded the best: a Sicilian panini.

i don’t know exactly what they had put on there – probably pepperoni, salami, turkey, and bologna, maybe provolone and swiss, and all on a toasted bun – but i tell you i have been chasing that sandwich high ever since

…gods i miss n-gate
