If you haven't used Firefox in a couple of years, let me tell you: it has come a loooong way. It's slick, fast, full-featured, puts users and privacy first, and the dev tools are great. Short of the DRM drama (in which Google as an active supporter is much more at fault than Mozilla giving in to pressure imo), there should be no reason you couldn't use it as your default Web browser right now.
If your default browser is made by an advertising company, you should expect your data being used for ads and tracking by design (no matter what extensions or options you configure).
If you absolutely have to use Chrome, you can still choose Chromium as a less privacy-invasive alternative, but I think it won't solve the QUIC issue.

Took the Wahoo Elemnt Bolt for a spin, and I'm pretty impressed. The turn-by-turn navigation and Strava route sync are fantastic. #cycling

Sorry that I'm commenting on this all the time, but we're now approaching 1000 Mastodon instances. ONE THOUSAND. https://
Saw Ghost in the Shell last night. I liked the parts that were adapted shot by shot (albeit a bit darker and colder). But I found the story changes to be pretty disappointing, especially with the ending. It's almost as bad as "The Day the Earth Stood Still", in that the philosophy of the original is perverted and smart questions ("where to go from here?") are replaced with dumb answers ("all good now, we'll just keep doing what we did").
Current #fediverse status: 541 active Mastodon instances online, with 181,061 accounts. Unreal. https://
Thanks to @nxd4n@mastodon.social, this toot was posted automatically from my Known website. Or as the #IndieWeb cool kids like to say: I'm now POSSEing my toots.
