What this has done for me has highlighted how many things are tracker me and how badly those things are designed because they don’t fail gracefully.
I had a telehealth visit link today that broke using this feature. So that’s nice to know. My virtual doctors appointments are being tracked by a third party.
This is a good step forward for privacy. However, how it’ll handle data embedded in the URL like MVC?
Also, if it does work well, it’s a matter of time until developers find a way to get around it and probably enhance and increase data collected in the process.
Yep. I stopped using my local medical center’s app because wouldn’t you know, they sold my info to a fuckload of 4th parties. Spam from the email I setup, 100% for only the account (Firefox relay), evidences the facts directly.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Firefox, or Mozilla, continues to be the only browser (at least among the biggies) that’s for the users, not the trackers and marketers.
The people on Lemmy convinced me to switch from Chrome to Firefox.
One of us. One of us.

Chrome can get fucked.
Thanks Mozilla

Pretty fucking gross misconduct in my opinion.
I really hope the ctrl-c shortcut defaults to that
That should be an option for sure!
I tried it and the link didn’t work. Anyone else have issues?
What type of link was it?
Sausage link.
Thank goodness. I hate trying to copy share links and they got a whole paragraph of tracking BS. Even YouTube started to add that.
I love Firefox it is a great browser and this is nice to have built in now.
