Edge 🇨🇦🇲🇽🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈

For anyone following at home, the activity monitor is currently yellow, showing 14.25 out of 16gb memory currently used, and I'm doing nothing but having FF open, and browsing a bit.

The about:processes page shows the biggest users are PurpleAir, deck.blue (bluesky client) and vmst.io my mastodon server, but FF itself says it's only using 3GB.

I regularly keep about 30 tabs permanently open, I'm thinking this will need to change.

Nerdy question for #Firefox #Mac folks - I have a brand new Mac Mini which I just noticed is topping out its memory usage according to Activity Monitor... with "FireFox CP Isolated Web Content"

This never happened on the iMac with the same amount of memory, and same open tabs in FF. It was so bad, that trying to move a disk icon gave me the #SBBOD.

This is not the only one of these processes, and I assume it's from a FF tab, but does anyone else see this behavior? I suppose I'm going to have to delete all my tabs and add them back in one at a time... Thanks for any direction.

@sjmulder : door verschillende browsers te gebruiken heb ik daar minder last van. Vooral Firefox met NoScript (meestal op mijn Android smartphone) geeft mij enorm veel rust. Soms kan ik pagina's met paywall geheel of grotendeels lezen (zie screenshot).

Je hebt wel een leercurve voor NoScript en Firefox heeft ook nadelen (zie bijv. infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat en de follow-up toot over NoScript).

Vaak werkt het als je de primaire partij toestemming geeft om JavaScript uit te voeren, maar derde partijen niet toestaat (waaronder 3rd parties met namen waar "cookiebot" in vóórkomt).

Firefox Focus ondersteunt geen NoScript, maar is het meest privacy-vriendelijk doordat alle geschiedenis gewist wordt bij het sluiten van de browser. Sowieso belangrijk, maar in deze browser helemaal (omdat HSTS niet werkt): zet "https only" aan. Dat betekent dat je *gewaarschuwd* wordt bij onveilige http-verbindingen, die je vervolgens wél kunt toestaan.

Wat ook helpt is als tooters geen "URL-verkorters" gebruiken, zodat je kunt zien naar welke website de link leidt.

Ten slotte probeer ik vaak het m.i. belangrijkste stuk te quoten, of een screenshot te plaatsen (zo mogelijk mét Alt tekst). Dan HOEVEN lezers niet op links te klikken/drukken.

Screenshot van een deel van https://www.trouw.nl/buitenland/live-midden-oosten-minister-israel-blijft-humanitaire-hulp-voor-gaza-blokkeren~bf727bda/ (ik heb geen abonnement, ik overweeg dat wel). Daarin valt te lezen (onderaan iets meer tekst dan in de screenshot te zien is): Liveblog 11:43 Minister: Israël blijft humanitaire hulp voor Gaza blokkeren De Israëlische minister van Defensie heeft beklemtoond dat zijn land hulpgoederen voor de Gazastrook blijft tegenhouden. "Het beleid van Israël is duidelijk: er mag geen humanitaire hulp Gaza binnenkomen." Het blokkeren van de hulp is volgens minister Israel Katz "een van de belangrijkste drukmiddelen om te voorkomen dat Hamas hulp gebruikt als instrument om de bevolking te beïnvloeden". Israël blokkeert de hulpverlening sinds 2 maart. De VN meldden onlangs ‘de ergste humanitaire crisis’ in de Gazastrook sinds de Israëlische aanvallen begonnen in oktober 2023. Artsen zonder Grenzen noemt de Gazastrook woensdag in een verklaring een ‘massagraf voor Palestijnen’ en een massagraf ‘voor hen die hulp bieden’. Volgens de hulporganisatie zijn voedsel en brandstof vrijwel op. Zonder brandstof en zonder medicijnen dreigt ook medische bijstand onmogelijk te worden. Er is een tekort aan pijnstillers, antibiotica en middelen om te opereren. (ANP)
