Firefox 130.0, See All New Features, Updates and Fixes
  • This is an example of a tab group using Sidebery. If you click links on a page that open in new tabs, it creates a sort of folder from the original tab, with the group of links as children of the parent tab. You can also drag them into these groups manually.

  • there's a new "zen" Firefox fork on the block focused on theming and has some features from Edge, all licensed under MPL
  • Really like this, except that it breaks the Adaptive Tab Bar Colour extension. I've been using FF with edgy-arc-fr userchrome and Sidebery which is nearly perfect in terms of UI but definitely feels slower than Zen. I'd definitely switch to this if it had some native adaptive UI colour, I just think it's neat.

    Is the sidebar here just the same as the new native Firefox vertical sidebar, or is it bespoke?

  • New major Thunderbird release 128
  • Search works really well for me. Definitely reveals a less aesthetic side of Thunderbird but it works!

    A works to archive messages btw, I'm not sure about a shortcut for labels though.

  • Multi account containers
  • I removed the Facebook account containers extension recently, and it seemed it also removed the multi-account containers extension? I still had containers and could use them however, but I discovered something was up when I could no longer use the ctrl+. shortcut to choose a new container tab.

  • Kobo announces its first color e-readers
  • I think it's only Amazon that does lock screen ads but since they have two-thirds of the market share globally (and a near monopoly in the US where the Verge is based) then whatever they do in the e-reader space is "normal"

  • The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, everyone 🤦
  • You're really hitting the nail on the head with this analogy. If you replaced all the cars with cyclists then yes you'd increase the number of cycle accidents, but no one of those cyclists would be capable of causing anywhere even remotely near the level of carnage one car driver can cause. In fact, the amount of damage a single cyclist can cause would decrease with fewer cars on the road, given that at present the worst damage a cyclist can cause is by indirectly causing a car driver to crash.

  • this is the most important comment in this whole thread. Sunak – who absorbed the party leadership role as the "continuity candidate" – is trying to pitch his own party as the radical opposition when they've been running the country for 30 of the 43 years he's been alive, and have been more or less electorally unopposed for the entirety of his political career. the amount of unironic opportunitistic populist bullshit he's got blowing his sails along would be funny if it wasn't so viscerally horrible

  • Sure, that's why I qualified that harmful accidents do happen, though relatively rarely compared to car accidents, and relatively rarely anywhere near as harmful as a similar incident if it was caused by a car.

    Similar anecdotal incident - I know someone who was hospitalised and got multiple fractures while riding his bike on a cycle path because someone was walking their dog without a lead and the dog ran in front of his bike. These things can and do happen, they're not unusual - but it's also a weak argument for, say, mandating that all dog owners get liability insurance for their pets.

  • I both drive and cycle for commuting, and having experience with both it's hard to imagine what practical use mandatory insurance would be for cyclists, given that only third-party insurance is mandatory for drivers, and it's largely to cover the huge amount of physical damage someone can create with a 2-tonne block of metal propelled by an engine, something that really isn't comparable to ~10kg powered only by one person's legs.

    and yeah sure hypothetically a cyclist could make a mistake that indirectly causes a car to cause an accident but this relatively very rare compared to the hundreds of accidents directly caused by drivers every day, and even rarer that the accident would be solely the fault of one party (ie. if a cyclist in front of a driver did a bad maneuver and the driver had to do an emergency stop, the driver was probably far too close to the cyclist)

    at the end of the day, calls for cyclists to have insurance or licence plates usually come from people who are less invested in whether or not these are practical solutions, and more from car drivers who irrationally just want cyclists to suffer from the same inconveniences they have to deal with

  • DuckDuckGo CEO says Google kills competition through phone deals that make it hard for users to switch search engines
  • I've seen a lot of chat recently about Google search quality tanking and it's made me realise that I haven't re-searched a DDG query in Google for a really, really long time. when I first started using DDG as my main a few years back, I would repeat searches in Google probably 25% of the time? but I honestly can't remember the last time I had to now. Been at least 6 months!
