> OP's premise is that "Firefox is gone" and "Chrome is the only option". That suggests Chrome is better than current Firefox. To be fair, OP asked if "Chrome-ish" is the only opti…

When Firefox removed Do Not Track in December last year [0] people also freaked out, which came as a considerable surprise to me; I thought most tech-savvy users were well aware of…

There are no "100% safe" solutions. There will always be weaknesses and vulnerabilities in any system. The sort of criminal who requires or expects 100% safety is quickly going to …

I'm in the same boat; diagnosed with ADHD-PI (UK, so we don't use the term 'ADD') as an adult. I've improved vastly thanks to medication and good routines but it remains a constant…

I thought that too, but perhaps only personal data is deleted irrecoverably, allowing them to retrieve other/periphery account data; maybe an account's "fans" aren't considered per…

Why wouldn't the EFF concern itself with the careless and disorganised response of a digital company to online privacy legislation?

This doesn't appear to have been the case: https://www.factcheck.org/2018/06/did-the-obama-administrati... https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/immigration-border-crisis/...

Oof, yeah, that one's something else entirely. I don't tend to mind these newer formats, but I'll admit I'm not a fan of that one.

Reader view in Firefox has always worked flawlessly for me with BBC articles, including these "funky" ones. It's a godsend. Is there a reader view/mode in Chrome, or is it only sup…

Haha. I don't have much to add, but this seriously made me chuckle. I misread it similarly, at first glance.

Really enjoyed reading this! Seems like a fascinating journey, I'd love to make the trip some day.

Yes, I worded that poorly. I meant loading Piwik's UI; it was cripplingly slow and often timed out. I had little luck in narrowing down the cause, but it was hardly a thorough inve…

I tried Piwik but it seemed so cripplingly slow. Trying to load the analytics often took minutes . Has anybody else experienced this?

He's seemingly either a climate denialist or some sort of troll; just look through his post history.

I think we can all agree 1080p is "good quality", right? Your average pirate probably isn't demanding 4K quality, I imagine.

I'd like to think plenty of folk here would have ethical objections, too. Perhaps that's wishful thinking.

> How many people here track their users? Right across the Internet? Very few, I imagine!

Opinion pages are clearly set apart from news reporting. In The Guardian, opinion pieces appear in the "Comment is Free" section.

It oughtn't be. You might not like their opinion pages -- yes, they're typically left-wing -- but The Guardian's reporting is absolutely top notch; amongst the best in the world.

Probably not, hence "almost certainly".

That's a line pushed by large corporations to convince people that money saved through tax avoision is somehow benefiting the consumer. Companies should pay their fair share of tax…

This is awesome and will save me a lot of time. Thanks!

'Optimize' has been around for quite some time, just in case anybody thinks this is new. In fact, I believe this feature has been around for over a year, now.
