I feel like one thing doesn't get talked about enough is that websites feel the need to implement ad services that want to track the user in order to serve ads. Which I just find weird, the expectation to give up ones privacy, just to get served an ad.
Instead, the ads should just be relevant to the content of the page where an ad is embedded, which would automatically make it relevant to the reader, without tracking them.
No that doesn't matter at all, but it might matter to you if they get all the addresses you type just up to the point before you type .com, i.e. pornhub before you add the dot com or maybe some health related stuff, or every bank & insurance company you do business with, adult websites, etc.
Just as an FYI, if you use suggestions everything you type in your url bar will be sent to your search provider in order to return search suggestions. Even in incognito windows, unless you explicitly disable it.
So I'd suggest only doing that if you really trust your search provider to keep that information secret and not link it to you as a person, and only if search suggestions as a feature are worth that risk to you.
Wow, danke für den Artikel! Damit hätte ich in 2025 nicht gerechnet... Super auch die Übersicht, wer wo in welcher Qualität streamt.
Schon schade dass bei all den neuen Möglichkeiten und Technologien die letzten Jahre die Qualität immer mehr der Kostenoptimierung zum Opfer wird, sei es bei Sport streams, youtube oder den diversen Film streaming Plattformen.
Beim Sport ist häufig noch zusätzlich das Problem dass die Rechteinhaber lieber teure exklusiv-Lizenen vergeben statt den Zugang für die Öffentlichkeit einfach zu gestalten... EM gibts nur bei SRF, Olympia letztes Jahr ebenfalls, für die IFSC Boulder- & Kletter-Wettkämpfe brauch ich sogar ein VPN, Fernsehserie A gibts nur mit Abo bei Anbieter X, aber Serie B nur mit Y, da vergeht einem echt langsam die Lust am Medienkonsum.
Zattoo, teleboy, etc, ja, aber die uefa webseite gibt zu verstehen dass die spiele nur auf dem srf play portal übertragen werden. Gibts denn klassische fernseh sender die die spiele zeigen?
Ja die verbindung ist nicht das problem. Die werbung zwischen den halbzeiten und die spielanalysen sind viel besser als das spiel. Andere sendungen sind auch deutlich besser.
Habe auch das selbe verhalten auf PC mit GBit/s iway, mit ipad auf wifi und mit android handy auf wifi / mobilfunknetz, alles schon durchprobiert...
--- edit ---
Sorry, die antwort hab ich jetzt unterwegs ein bisschen vorschnell abgeschossen. Hab gesehen die spiele sind auf srf 2 im regulären programm, dann versuch ich mal eins der tv streaming programme. Danke für den Tipp!
It's also a bit useless to just give the one number and not the complete results.
This could mean 46% in favor, 15% neutral / undecided, 39% against, which would put the overall sentiment in favor of joining, or it could be 46% in favor, 54% against, which is a completely different situation.

Just re-read the article, I have missed the numbers, sorry.
So it's 46% pro, 29% against, which puts the sentiment clearly to pro....
No I distinctly remember being able to right click and add a keyword and bookmark for search field on random website forms, even internal ones on company intranet sites and such
This update makes it much easier to add custom search engines in Firefox. You can now right-click in a search field on a supported website and select “Add Search Engine” to add it. You can edit the name and assign a keyboard.
Am I misremembering things, didn't this feature exist already in the past?
I[t] seems unfortunate if we do this work and [...] the result is that Linux works great without having to do the work. …
Man I just don't get this mindset of "it was hard for me, can't have it be easy for someone else. Even if it takes additional work, I'll make sure the next person struggles at least as much as me".
It's like companies designing a great product and then spending additional develpment time making sure it's not user repairable, even if it means compromising a good design.
We'd still be in the stone age if everyone thougt like that.
It doesn't really make it any better, but at least they let you opt out of data collection after creating the account (you know, when they have already collected your email, first and last name as well as camera serial no.) 🙄
While I love the content on Youtube, I'd like to pay for no ads and I'd like to support the creators, I just can't bring myself to pay for a service where the UX is so catastrophically bad.
Search is basically non functional at this point.
Video quality has to be adjusted manually for each video to not get pixelated mess.
Even at 1080p the quality is barely better than DVD.
The app caches so little ahead that the slightest network interruption pauses playback.
Forced auto rotation makes you grab the device each time you return from full screen to the video list.
Subtitles have completely gone to shit and it's wild that in the age of forcing AI on everyone, that auto generated subtitles are still as bad as they are.
Too bad, it makes me think "wow this is horrible, if they are this bad at developing a simple app I don't want to find out how bad they would be at developing and maintaining a whole OS..."
Lol, reminds me of the good old "cloud to butt" browser extension from way back when cloud was the new shit everyone pushed.

Yeah that happened on Microsofts knowledgebase sites for years...
So annoying. But cant blame such a small company for not fixing that, they probably couldn't afford to fix it /s

Yeah it definitely was keyword bookmarks, but there was an option to "add a keyword for this search" or something along those lines

Also, spare parts are still available for decades old models and they are built with easy repairability in mind.
I really hope this sale won't change the company too much, but I fear it will.
I think this would warrant to get all websites using the facebook pixel on safe browsing lists and AV databases as infected with malware.
Maybe then the pressure on meta would be big enough to stop this shit, if all websites stopped to not use that anymore.
Btw, does anyone know if the localhost tracking is implemented in Whatsapp as well, or just FB and Instagram?

To name just a few...
Sorry for the rant
Oof, that is new, the camera connect app used to work without an account before.
Too bad, it makes me think "wow this is horrible, if they are this bad at developing a simple app I don't want to find out how bad they would be at developing and maintaining a whole OS..."
Cover the cut side panel with some nice black mesh and it could almost look factory
How hard can it be to produce a simple battery pack, for a company that is in the business of designing and producing battery packs no less...
