Probably the responsiveness of things. Firefox is very sensitive to DNS roundtrip time during daily use. A faster response time provides much better experience with it.

I guess that ~25% of "Firefox is slow" myth is coming from slow DNS response, if not higher.

eudhxhdhsb32 · 5 months ago

That makes sense. Do you know the reason for Firefox being more sensitive? Is their DNS prefetching not as effective?

The quality of dns always makes or breaks your internet experience. Personally at home unbound on opnsense with some blocking list has always worked really well for me. Openwrt with pihole also works fine. But the moment I have to use some recursive dns like this, I tend to not enjoy the experience.

Are you just referring to ads not being blocked?

A regular dns like quad9 + ublock origin on Firefox has been a consistently great experience for me.

Frankly, I don't care.

I didn't give any LLM permission to train on my data, Chinese or otherwise. It's theft and I have zero recourse to do anything about it.

If you don't want others to use your data, perhaps you should have kept it private?

why are we pretending that these gambling sites have any weight on anything

eudhxhdhsb32 · 5 months ago

What do you mean by weights?

I'd certainly trust their predictions more than those given by most "experts".

> This prediction market has it at 12% likely to succeed

Randos on the internet with a betting addiction are distinctively different from a court of law. I wish people would stop talking about prediction market as if they mattered.

Participants in prediction market do not need to be experts for their collective input to be informative.

There's a long history of economic research on the "wisdom of crowds" that backs up their value.

Off topic: This page is beautiful. Love it when people use magazine-style layouts on the web.

It's annoying to read on my phone. Text and pictures are moving at different speeds than I'm scrolling.

I read in a few places that LibreWolf's anti-fingerprinting features are breaking websites. One person complained that their meeting got scheduled incorrectly because the browser was messing with the user's time zone (for privacy reasons).

It uses UTC, as everyone should.

Gnu IceCat for me with Privacy Badger and libreJS. I would pay 10$ every month for Gnu IceCat, the ONLY firefox fork with no telemetry.

the ONLY webkit based zero telemetry browser is Kagis Orion

> Gnu IceCat, the ONLY firefox fork with no telemetry.

Why would you think that? Plenty of other forks like LibreWolf and IronFox have removed all telemetry.

I like to say that I don't care if it's inaccurate, as long as it's precise.

eudhxhdhsb32 · 6 months ago

FYI, precision is an entirely unrelated to accuracy, whether consistent or not.

Precision is basically just how many decimals your measurements have.

That seems pretty reasonable to me. The vast majority of innovations that have consistently raised everyone's standard of living over the last centuries has also come from that 10%.
