([Security] Aug 5, 2020 19:44 UTC (Wed) (corbet))


[1]This Mozilla Security Blog entry describes the new redirect-tracking protections soon to be provided by the Firefox browser. " ETP 2.0 clears cookies and site data from tracking sites every 24 hours, except for those you regularly interact with. We’ll be rolling ETP 2.0 out to all Firefox users over the course of the next few weeks. "

The sourceforge approach is to place all of the projects in some bland
"open source surburbia", where all of the houses are alike, with only the
colors and minor style variations (which building plan was used for which
particular house) are allowed by the restrictive covenants and local
zoning laws. Sourceforege is the open source equivalent of the
subdivision in the movie "Edward Scissorhands".
