"#Money is the problem. Not too little, but too much. Where there's #wealth, there's a natural #human desire to make more #wealth. Ever since #Firefox 1.0 in 2004, Firefox has never had to compete. It's been attached like a #mosquito to an #artery to the #Google #cash #firehose. #TheRegister noted it in 2007, and it made more the next year. We were dubious when Firefox turned #five."
"And as for that #money — remember back in 2018? That's when #Google dropped "Don't be evil" as its #motto."
"#Mozilla's #leadership is #directionless and #flailing because it's never had to do, or be, anything else. It's never needed to know how to make a #profit, because it never had to make a #profit. It's no wonder it has no real #direction or #vision or clue: it never needed them. It's role-playing being a #business."
"Like we said, don't #blame the #app. You're still #better off with Firefox or a fork such as #Waterfox. #Chrome even #snoops on you when in #incognito mode, and as we #warned you, Google removed the APIs #adblocker #extensions used. You still get better #adblocking in #Firefox."

More talk about quantum computers breaking encryption in the near future... and of course there's that thing about nation states, and possibly other bad actors, already hoovering up packet logs to later decrypt.

So, given the Post Quantum Cryptography that's coming online, I'd really love a browser feature/extension to alert me to when a site is using PQC.

Why? Becaus then I can change my password, secure in the knowledge that it can't be fished out of past packet logs and potentially cracked.

There's no use a login being PQC protected if it's the same password as before then !

So, anyone doing that ?

Edit: Of *course* we should all be using strong TOTP 2FA, or a physical key, but not all places we want to login to support that.

Since that December ruling, #MarkMeadows has obtained multiple #extensions on his deadline to ask #SCOTUS to review the dispute. In the meantime, the high court’s conservative majority handed down the #immunity ruling earlier this month that said #Trump had at least “presumptive” immunity for any of his *official acts* as president that were targeted in the federal #criminal charges brought by #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith.
