I’ve always been a Firefox fan, and I used it exclusively for quite some time. However, I had to switch back to Brave after they blocked clipboard managers from seeing what you copy in private windows, and there was no way to turn it off. I know about profiles and containers, but this is something I need for my workflow. Now that Brave has proper containers, I’m running out of reasons to miss Firefox other than my ideals.

I wish they had an always up to date guide on what each about:config option does.

You can please some of the people, some of the time.

Adobe keeps me on macOS, otherwise I’d love to use something like Ubuntu as a daily driver.

Looking up how much things used to cost? I too like being depressed.

I have, but very rarely. I could count on one hand how often I’ve needed to dig back more than half a decade ago.

Back when I used Gmail I just kept everything personal and work related but when I moved away and started paying for email storage I took a different approach. It didn’t make sense for me to pay considerably more storage for something I almost never use.

I ended up backing up all of my emails outside of the last 5 years and stored them on an offline drive where I can reference them as eml files if I ever need it.

Going forward once a year I’ll export and purge the oldest year in my account.

The way I initially read this headline my brain thought that this privacy extension was going to stop spying on users. Confused for a moment there.

They say they'll support MV2 "as long as possible".

Damn, he pulled a “Secure Custom Fields” on Automattic.

Wake me up when it's 26.1 o'clock.

Yeah - honestly - if it's not Mullvad or iVPN I'm out.

I always thought the feature sounded interesting - but - Nord just isn’t a company that screams trustworthy to me, so I never bothered to try it. I’d definitely never store my passwords with them. I’m surprised that’s not their least used feature.

Last time I looked into it — last year - the only one I found was Temporary Containers and from what I read the developer unfortunately passed away.

Glad to see someone forked it though, I might give that a try again.

I am, yes. It worked as I described up until I think October of last year.

I’m logging in and out of client accounts - often for services that don’t do delegate access - so private windows work nice for me to make sure that I’m always cleared out of what I was working on before changing to a different project. Often I copy things in private windows that aren’t secrets, it just happens to be how I used the feature.

Containers and Profile are great - but - I’m not trying to have 50+ of them at work, much easier to flip open a private window.

I acknowledge my usecase is unusual and for most I think the feature makes sense - I just want to be able to turn it off, an about:config would be fine.
