No I didn't sorry.

But the since the first sentence I know I'll love it! 😉

I've just published a new (and hopefully last) version of the #HackingLicense, a strong #copyleft that should be applicable to to software, contents and database and that includes a conditioned copyright assignment to the licensee.

Compared with the previous versions is way shorter an cleaner.

Any comment is welcome.

NOTE: this version of the Hacking License has NOT been written or analysed by a lawyer expert in Intellectual Property yet. I strongly advise you to NOT use it without proper legal advise.

@Shredd_Tone

Wrong question.

The right one is "why you must rely on plug-ins to reduce #surveillance in the first place?"

I mean, it's fine: #Mozilla can do whatever they want with the software they code.

But please: promote and advertise yourself as a #Google-friendly browser, not a #privacy-friendly one!

At times, I think that it's full of bad people doing bad things.

It's not either. BUT...

@emanuele

That's an individual solution trying to fix a systemic issue.

It's not going to work in the current environment.

It's like wearing a surgical mask in a crowd metro where everybody does not wear one: good luck! 🤣

Now #Mozilla promote itself as a #privacy solution while it's an enabler of the systemic #surveillance problem.

That's why @aral mocks them.

As for me, when I wrote that bug report I thought that they were in good faith.

They were not.

Well, but why a browser "focused on user privacy" should need an addon like #uBlockOrigin or #nuTensor (both way better than #NoScript)?

The answer is simple: they pretend to be privacy-friendly just to fool most people with their #Google-friendly defaults.

Indeed most people won't customize their browser (or at most will install sub-optimal extensions like NoScript).

In practice, #Mozilla became the geek-friendly PR-team of Google, Facebook and friends.

DISCLAIMER:
Google Chrome is NOT a privacy/security friendly browser.
In no way.

Yet, I'm glad to inform you that if you look in your settings, you will find in

> Privacy and security
> Site Settings
> Javascript

a toggle to disable #Javascript.

Without Developer Tools! 😉

Then in the #Chrome's addressbar you'll find a new button when you browse a page that need javascript (see attached image): click there and you will be able to enable javascript on that single host.

@rugk

Not only #Javascript! 😉
Even other "features" like meta refresh, that could be used to hide an attack.

Attack that was actually exploited in the wide from Russian Government few months later.

@emanuele was looking for "something on #Firefox that is tracking on you with no choice" and in fact you do not even have a way to disable #JS and re-enable it with one click on a per #Web site base (like you have even on #GoogleChrome ! ! !).

Also Emanuele, you should consider that if people around you and people like you are tracked and profiled by #Google because of default firefox's settings (like default search engine), the end result is that you can still be manipulated and influenced through them.

That's why defaults should be #privacy friendly by default.

People should explicitly choose to opt-in #Surveillance, not opt-in #security/privacy.

Where should I start?

Oh... right... here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1487081#c16
