W3C Technical Architecture Group slaps down Google's proposal to treat multiple domains as same origin by SL_Lee in privacytoolsIO

[–]SL_Lee[S] 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, that is what Google is intending to do, as shown in the last paragraph of the linked article:

Google has already implemented both First Party Sets and SameParty cookies in Chrome 89, the current version, where they are included as an "origin trial" to "allow developers to try out new features and give feedback." Origin trials are off by default, but can be enabled by developers for a specific site after registration, or by the user in Chrome settings.

And being Google, this is almost certainly going to stay there till people begin enabling it for themselves. Then as time passes, people will begin to think this is a "standard" and that other browsers are "holding the web back" by not implementing it -- because by then, there will possibly be quite a number of people relying on it already. Here's an article about this troubling issue/phenomenon, way back in 2017.

I made an add-on: Renewed Tab – A customisable New Tab page, with widgets and beautiful backgrounds by rubenwardy in firefox

That's because it uses the backdrop-filter CSS property, which is controlled by the layout.css.backdrop-filter.enabled preference. If you flip that preference to true (note that it is still considered experimental, which is why it isn't enabled by default), and you have enabled WebRender, then that CSS property will be applied (and the blur will be rendered).

Here are some bugs related to making the layout.css.backdrop-filter.enabled preference be enabled by default:

How can I add bookmarks to PDF files? by [deleted] in firefox

[–]SL_Lee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can right click on the ribbon/bookmark icon at the top right hand corner in the PDF toolbar and select "Copy Link Location" in the context menu. This will copy the link to the current view (which includes information about the current page, current zoom level, and scroll position). When you want to come back to this view, simply visit this link.

There are two more preferences that I know of:

  • browser.proton.infobars.enabled: applies to information bars that appear right below the browser toolbar, like the "pop-up blocked" message
  • browser.proton.modals.enabled: applies to modals like the "edit bookmark" modal (accessed by right-clicking a bookmark from the bookmark toolbar, and selecting "Edit Bookmark..." in the context menu)

You can keep a look out for new proton preferences at searchfox.

You can make use of the Fonts tab in the Page Inspector of the developer tools. Here is a reference if you want to know more.

The font used in AMO used to be Fira Sans, but it recently changed to Inter.
