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.


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.


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


I honestly have no idea. I observe it all the time, and note repeatedly everywhere when the discussion comes up, but never had the time to dig into the code and see how that all works.


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


I want people to use my data.

I don't want people to redistribute my data without attribution, claiming it as their own.


and this results in the end of the internet


What do you mean by weights?

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


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.


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


It uses UTC, as everyone should.


> 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.


You are right. I misread somewhere and declared without really checking. Not the first time either. My apologies.


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%.


With every year that passes, I am more sympathetic to Kaczynski's manifesto.
