I suspect they are both more familiar with client-side rendering, and also thinking of things being able to share components, reuse existing libraries, and so on. So re-implementin…

Nice work! I've enjoyed playing this game in the past, and have been working on porting various apps to wasm lately. Coincidentally, this is one I was looking into porting when I f…

Anyone used this and could compare/contrast with web-ext https://github.com/mozilla/web-ext ?

I worked on the Firefox integration (per the article) if anyone has specific questions. If you want more detail on Prio itself, I'd suggest http://blog.ezyang.com/2017/03/prio-priv…

Part of the threat model is that individual orgs can be compelled in various ways to turn over individual user data, and having different orgs holding their own private keys helps …

As bad (and deserved) as their reputation is for helping well-meaning users to create a big mess, spreadsheet software provides an incredibly intuitive UI to put in front of users …

Ah, missed that. Cool.

This is only being served to Release channel users currently (per the bug in the extension ID, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1487578 ) ESR users are on a separate ch…

Would you mind pasting your `about:support` somewhere (github gist, pastebin, etc) and linking it here?

The intent was to express publicly, and then send an update that reflected this. Would it feel less "[sneaked] in" if this were a core feature in Firefox?

If you are seeing something different please let me know!

If I am understanding correctly, these are two separate things: - https://my.mixtape.moe/sjlprj.jpg - this is whether data is reported to mozilla servers - https://my.mixtape.moe/s…

This was actually discussed on HN previously, with a link to the text: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17797003

In case anyone is curious why this works, Firefox switched to a new extensions API which tries to stay compatible with the one Chrome uses: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-…

I just tried and appears to work OK (Firefox 61.0.1, macOS)... since it's unsigned I loaded it as a temporary add-on in about:debugging plibither8, would you mind adding instructio…

Huh! I wouldn't expect that at all... here are some easy things to try: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-many-c... If it is still happening after you try those…

Ah, ok. That's interesting too! There's interest in wasm-land about having "non-web embeddings", which wouldn't assume things like JS APIs exist at all. I think in that sort of wor…

> Easier implementation is the goal. There are currently only four companies working on a web implementation. Easier implementation of a browser? You might find it interesting to s…

You could probably do this now as a standalone Node app, if you want more explicit control over which APIs are available and where code can be run from. The browser is indeed quite…

https://mycroft.ai might be a viable option - I believe they are planning to use Mozilla's speech recognition work too.

One problem is the risk of self-selection bias.

While I agree that reading source code is quite useful and informative, it really is no substitute for reverse engineering and inspecting on actual hardware. It's quite easy to be …
