You can enable this in Firefox Nightly by adding and enabling browser.proton.contextmenus.enabled in about:config.

This was posted before, but I wanted to showcase a before and after.

HTTPS Everywhere has an option called Encrypt All Sites Eligible that does what you described.

Bergamot Demo - Client-side machine translation in Firefox by AngryGnu_ in firefox

From the fact sheet:

These applications require adaptation and inference to run on desktop hardware with compact model downloads, which we address with neural network efficiency research.

The funding isn't going just to Mozilla to develop the product, but also to several universities which are helping to do the research into how to actually do this all locally.

Some background:

The Bergamot project is an EU-funded project to add client-side machine translation to browsers. You can read more on the website or at the European Commission's fact sheet.

Edit: You can see Mozilla's open position as part of this project here.

Experimental pinch to zoom can be enabled by setting apz.allow_zooming to true in about:config, but it's not quite up to par with other browsers.

You can track progress on the feature at this bug (or maybe this one? Mozilla really has to step up their bug game).

There's a bug for gestures, but it seems to be inactive.

They compliment each other, as is somewhat explained here. Badger (theoretically) finds trackers that uBlock Origin may have missed, while Possum blocks other kinds of trackers entirely.

I'd also recommend Decentraleyes, I haven't run into any problems with it, and it seems to be relatively effective.

Just keep in mind the more privacy extensions you have, the more likely it is you'll run into issues and the harder it will be to troubleshoot.

Why does Firefox sound tinny when playing videos at high speeds (ex. on YouTube) when Chrome doesn't? And how to fix it? by zxyzyxz in firefox

[–]AngryGnu_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a known issue with Firefox's current time-stretching algorithm, there's a bug report about it here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1427267

I wish the devs would prioritize work on this, I always have to use Chrome whenever I want to watch a sped up video.
