Firefox is still there, but Mozilla is adding AI slop to it too. I’d love to see an extension to disable all that stuff, or ideally get rid of it and make it an extension

Yes it makes very little difference if I can see all your public published blog posts on a WordPress site by iterating the number.

Make it so they have to change it when they login. But also do not allow a simple password to be used ever.

Ha! I’m sure I asked you about this before but I think you hinted at one point about being able to supply PD on a format other than disc and I think you said not on cassette. What was that?

If you haven’t yet i recommend their family plan. 5 accounts for less than the price of 2.

For standard email, fastmail.com is very very good. Plus they're working on JMAP, which may actually improve standard email for everyone.

If you're okay with a non-standard email account that you need to use their app for, hey.com has been a game changer for me. Being able to handle the flood of incoming messages that comes from having an email address for 35 years.
