Oh my goodness. Blocking websites in a browser is a lot different than saying “not recommended”. I’m telling you what they are worried about versus your dumbass interpretation. Context clues may help you. I had already told you what they’re not worried about. I can only assume you’re not this dumb and see just trolling in bad faith now.

block websites in the browsers themselves.

Its in the first paragraph. So no, a warning wouldn’t suffice. Jfc. Read

And yes, I know it’s open source and someone can remove the block, but Mozilla and other companies can still be forced to put it there and leave it up to users to figure out. They probably can give vague instructions, but they probably have to avoid too much detail to stay out of legal trouble. What level of understanding do you have of the world outside your parents’ house?

For processing or providing products and services to you, but only if those entities receiving your information are contractually obligated to handle the data in ways that are approved by Mozilla.

This is their policy on sharing with third parties. I suggest reading everything. Like I said, the same qualifications you trusted a random person with no reputation and no track record and not even a commitment to privacy that Mozilla has. You literally trusted a stranger simply due to convenience. You like to pretend you care about privacy, but you understand nothing about it.

I’m guessing you didn’t actually read the privacy policy. I refer you back to the slight confusion about breaking up easy parts to read. I guess that did confuse you and you stopped reading.

Except thats not what mozilla is worried about at all. I suggest improving your reading skills. I’ve noticed they’re causing you issues.

You clearly didn’t read past where you highlighted because they make the same claim that lemmee does right after that. And Mozilla has a reputation. What’s lemmee have? Because it’s unknown, you trust it more? Are you serious? I’m not trusting some rando with my email address simply because I shouldn’t expect much from them. That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. If anything, you should trust an unknown variable less. Who knows how easily lemm.ee can be hacked. It’s protected by third party organizations that they trust with your information.

Mozilla has a track record. Lemm.ee has nothing.

You “care” about privacy but don’t know anything about it.

for-profit places will do that. i hardly expect mozilla to abandon the people of an entire country. though i’m sure they’ll make sure everyone knows what VPNs and Tor are if it comes to it.

there is a section in the privacy policy explanations specifically dedicated to campaigns and petitions. i’m confused why it would need to mention any specifics like that they ask for an email address when their definition of personal information is defined as information they ask you for. it says they’ll only use it for things you give them permission to use it for. is the privacy policy great to read? no. is it a little confusing being broken up into parts to make it “easy” to read? a little bit. the point is, they’re not going to use the email address for anything else. and honestly, who doesn’t have email aliases if you’re protecting your email address so much that even Mozilla is a red flag? how did you even sign up for lemm.ee when it has almost regulations for your information (“we only share it with third parties that help us and that we like their privacy policy”)? Mozilla does the same.

I mean, those services do exist. You have that middle ground. Services like Proton exist. And you can use PixelFed instead of Instagram. The issue with trying to use a FOSS frontend to a proprietary backend… well, it’s already a broken system at that point. And Linux lands on a spectrum of building your own car from scratch and dealing with those problems yourself all the way to someone else maintaining it but you’re limited in scope to what it can technically do unless you go under the hood yourself, and that all depends on the distro.

Computers are technological wonders. Making everything simple and easy actually takes a ridiculous amount of work. So doing stuff yourself is absolutely going to be more difficult than paying for a mainstream turnkey solution where they offset the cost by selling your data or showing you ads. Anything that’s proprietary and private will always cost a significant amount more.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Does it support a web browser? Cause I’ve also been considering ditching play-dependent apps and could theoretically just use their web site for comics.

Do you know if there are any issues using either the Marvel or DC apps? I read one review of a color eink tablet (forget which) and the review said sometimes controls didn’t appear correctly for certain apps and now I’m paranoid about getting one (I was looking at boox) and worrying somehow the apps won’t work. I don’t have anything but that random review from some forum but it was enough to worry me.

Do those restrictions cause issues with getting certs from Let’s Encrypt?

No, most projects have a support email. I rarely see them not include that.

Generally the community isn’t even necessarily seen by the developers, especially if it’s big enough to have a lot of active users. They can’t track everything in the community. Centralized feedback is absolutely a godsend for developers. They can’t go searching for it.

I mean, that sounds like extreme laziness. You’re complaining about opening an email (or you could setup an authenticator app). Literally just opening an email is too difficult for you to do and prevents you from telling some other devs about some work you think they should do. I’m being slightly facetious, but you are basically creating work for the devs. The least you can do is open your email. I imagine it’s software they made that you’re probably using for free. Is it so much to ask for? If it bothers you so much, get a hardware key. Bonus if it’s NFC capable so it can work on your phone too. But seriously. This just sounds so entitled at this point. I don’t care that your cookies autodelete. You can open your email. Hell, get the email on your phone even. I don’t care. This isn’t a problem that someone should really be having issues with. It’s a minor inconvenience.

Firefox Relay, Proton email aliases, and whatever iCloud’s email thing is called all allow you to hide your email. The free versions tend to limit how many you can create, but some let you pay for unlimited. I use a different alias for every single thing I sign up for (i personally use Firefox Relay and only ran into an issue once during a sign up). Since I also pay for Proton Mail though, I can get other aliases through there if need be. Basically the very free things will turn you into a customer, so if you want to keep privacy, paying for the basic protections isn’t super expensive.
