People need to learn to never run untrusted code without safety measures like virtualization, containerization, sandboxing/jailing, etc. Untrusted code can include executables, external packages (pip, npm, cargo, etc) and also code/commands created by LLMs, etc.

I think Google gained more users with its aggressive advertising campaign than with its speed (except for power users). If someone used a Google product like search, email or youtube in a non-google browser, Google would always show an ad encouraging them to switch to Chrome.

Shorts are normal videos too, so you can view them in the normal player.

I have a redirect rule that redirects https://www.youtube.com/shorts/<video-id> to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<video-id>

Except when it's not implemented properly and it breaks other workflows. For example, if it only shows a button (not a link or a tag) and copies the link to the clipboard via JavaScript, consider this scenario: I want to send this "link" to my other computer using Firefox's built-in Send Page to Device feature. I have to click Share, click the copy to clipboard button, open a new page, paste the URL, and only then can I share it.

If the state were stored in the URL, I could do it in two steps: open context menu -> Send Page to Device, and I'm done.

Also, it doesn't work on Busybox either (e.g. on Alpine Linux).

And of course it works when I change only the user-agent to windows.

I visited albertsons.com out of curiosity, but I was instantly banned. Even using an unmodified Chromium browser, I couldn't access the site. It's ridiculous what's happening on the internet today.

The error: ``` Access denied Error 16 www.albertsons.com 2025-01-03 09:30:00 UTC What happened? This request was blocked by our security service Your IP: xxx Proxy IP: xxx (ID xxx) Incident ID: XXX Powered by Imperva ```

Basically, you need to create a `user.js` file in the root folder of your profile, you can find/open the profile folder using about:profiles or about:support (default path is `~/.mozilla/firefox/${profile-name}/user.js`). You can sync it however you like, e.g. upload it to your dotfiles repo and symlink with stow, etc.

The syntax is: user_pref("dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled", false); // Disable Privacy-Preserving Attribution

You can find a lot of examples and "documentation" on https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js
