Looks like it converts URLs to lower-case in the "Top Pages" list. One of the most visited sites right now is listed as https://jwst.nasa.gov/content/webblaunch/whereiswebb.html but that's a 404. Actual URL has a capital L: https://jwst.nasa.gov/content/webbLaunch/whereIsWebb.html

#142Ack. I've used PubMed for over a decade (since it was taught as the de facto way to search the science literature in my Canadian university) and it never occurred to me that it was a US federal government website :facepalm:
Any home page with FOIA in the footer is probably a US Government website :) Same if they also have usa.gov as a link.
... or if the TLD is 'gov'.

#143India is 7.7% of total traffic and China is 5%. It is night now, but still these numbers are surprisingly high.
The US consulates and embassy in China are the only reliable source of information regarding air quality and pollution.
Also, India having a large number of English speakers, probably has a significant percent of the population that prefers getting COVID-19 info from the CDC.

yes. 14 years on and still haven't found a way to make themselves any less independent of Google's money. >90% of their revenue derived from their direct anti-privacy competitor makes them entirely on life support. Rust was their opportunity to escape that, now they just threw it away and now they are back to where they started. Firefox is in decline. Nothing has changed.
In what way did Firefox throw anything away with Rust? (Just don’t know the story.)
Mozilla gave all the Rust trademarks away and the opportunity to create a consultancy out of Rust (Since that has taken off) has been completely ruled out - which may have been a way out of not depending on Google's money fo 90% of all their revenue.

They aren't banning due to a dislike of Google. They are trying to stop unmonitored exfiltration of data.
> They are trying to stop unmonitored exfiltration of data. This was always a pipe dream (preventing data exfiltration). The best any company do is to prevent accidental exfiltration of data. Like when someone attaches a spreadsheet with social security/credit card numbers to an email going out over the Internet. There's tools to detect that sort of thing (and stop it) but they don't work when the data is encrypted.…
Of course. It's similar to a store that wants to stop crimes of convenience or easy methods of theft, while knowing they can't stop all thieves.
