Server use is typically its own license category. At the company I worked for, their server licensing was based on number of server CPUs (technically only those actually used by the service using the font) and was valid for a year meaning you’d have to re-up annually.

Each of StackExchange's sub-sites has its own cookie consent management. That said, once I make my choices initially on each one, I haven't had any issues with them popping up again (I'm also signed in, which could impact things).

The original article only discusses a specific, non-standard (to me, at least – probably made more sense for IT departments) method that Mozilla is calling ‘sideloading’ will be disabled. Per the article, ‘sideloading’ is defined as putting an extension file in a special folder that results in all instances of Firefox on the machine automatically loading that extension.

In the page yorwba linked, it shows how to generate a signed XPI file that can be distributed and installed locally from that file in a more conventional manner (e.g. drag & drop the file onto Firefox’s Add-ons page).

Many services offering 2FA, esp. TOTP, will give you a set of backup codes – print/store them separately, safely (using the rule of backups). At the very least, Google does and allows you to view the existing ones and I think regenerate new ones on-demand as long as you can currently securely access your account.

The same can be done with security keys – typically you can add more than one to your account so have at least two and keep one stored safely somewhere.

Sadly, I recently set up an AWS account and, from what I could tell during that period, they support TOTP/hardware keys, but you can seemingly only pick a single 2FA method – so either TOTP or one single hardware key. That’s a service I would have expected better from (or perhaps I am misunderstanding my settings panel where I can’t find a way to add another factor – I am rather new to managing that ecosystem/account).

I remember having been able to jailbreak my iPhone 3GS for a period of time entirely through visiting a website and letting it exploit such vulnerabilities enough to perform the task. Searching for a related article, appears to have been possible on iOS 4.0/4.0.1:

Edit: I use ‘letting’ above loosely meaning that the specific website mentioned allowed the visitor to control whether the exploit was actually executed or not.

BItwarden does offer the ability to use on-premise hosting [1] rather than using their infrastructure to store/sync your data. Admittedly, I personally use their infrastructure so I can’t speak to the experience (config/maintenance/etc.) of their self-hosted offering.

Are you opposed to Google Keyboard/Gboard? It's had gesture typing for a while, and not too long ago added some nice gestures which use the spacebar to control cursor position and backspace key to delete one or more words at a time rather than character-by-character.
