Also, Paul Vixie and I happen to agree on something, which is that it should be possible for the admin of the network to have some amount of control over the network they're responsible for - and DoH kills that. The proper way to get privacy and security is to use the TOR browser, or at the very least use a layer3-capable VPN that lets you you can force all traffic over using a tunneling interface. Preferably to a server you own, or to one of the very few trustworthy VPN companies (which you need to be able to judge on your own, because it's your rear end on the line), not just any VPN company who'll surely sell your data.

Blue Footed Booby posted:Is there a reason to disable DNS over https? Fifefox's built-in DNS-over-HTTPS sends all DNS requests directly to cloudflare. Regardless of how you feel about cloudflare, it means your router is ignored. This means you don't get router-based DNS caching or Pihole type stuff. And maybe local domain stuff? If you have some basic networking skills and a decent router you can turn on DNS-over-TLS at the router level, and then just use plaintext DNS for all machines inside your network. All your DNS queries to the outside world are encrypted, you still can use piholes easily, it's the best of both worlds.

Bertha the Toaster posted:I still to this day hate the revamped version of Firefox Android. At this point I don't even remember all the things it used to do other than the lack of extensions. That and when you click on the address bar and click one of your frequently visited sites it opens a new tab rather than using the current one so I end up with loads of tabs for no reason and have to keep closing them. I don't understand why they made it do this and I don't understand why they can't fix it. I don't suppose anyone knows if there's a workaround/fix/addon for this? I intensly dislike the new version too. I jumped ship to Vivaldi on android, I wanted my actual tabs back. I have them, and have been happy with it for ages.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:DNS over TLS is a much better option, because it maintains the encryption option while not giving some illusion of privacy or security that DoH seems to make people think they get. Yeah, my work copy of Firefox has a browser extension installed by admin policy to get around that (the extension lets our antivirus software scan all traffic).

I have my pihole set up to use DNS over HTTPS using cloudflared, but not with cloudflare (iirc I'm using 9999). Now I've disabled Firefox's DNS over HTTPS in the settings menu. Not sure what policies.json does that this doesn't, but there's an option for disabling studies, too.

Blue Footed Booby posted:Not sure what policies.json does that this doesn't, but there's an option for disabling studies, too. policies.json doesn't have anything that isn't in about :config or normal prefs. For example the disable studies thing is a normal checkbox in prefs -> privacy & security -> Firefox Data Collection. IMO using policies.json is a bad idea because anything you set there is now set invisibly to the normal browser UI. Firefox doesn't do the thing Windows does with Group Policies where it'll grey out the checkbox and say "this setting is managed by your enterprise" or whatever. So if you make changes that you want to revert later, you have to remember that you make a policies.json file with that stuff. Firefox doesn't revert user settings without actual good reasons, so you don't need to use policies.json to protect your settings or whatever.

Though regardless the best way to disable DoH in Firefox is by blocking the canary domain. 1. You should only disable DoH on a network you control (to use a Pihole or whatnot). 2. This allows a laptop to use your preferred DNS at home and firefox's built in DoH when connected to other networks. 3. It is a fail safe behavior.

This has got me utterly stumped. Twitter no longer loads for me, at all. It gets stuck in a redirect loop of constantly redirecting to the login page. I think I've narrowed down the issue and I flat out don't understand it. If I look at the requests in the devtools I see that it sends a 302 to the login page and a set-cookie header. But Firefox never sets that cookie. Even if I manually add the cookie, when I try again it never sends it. Anyone have any idea why Firefox wouldn't send cookies for only one website?

Yeah I assumed it was a twitter issue for the last few days, but Firefox isn't sending cookies even if I set them manually, that's weird and definitely a Firefox issue.

At least try clearing you cookies and cache first, maybe it's running old code.

No dice. I've cleared cookies and cache, I've checked that its cleared in the bit where you can search for sites. Restarting doesn't help. I tried safe mode and it still happens so its not an addon issue, I tried it with a fresh profile and it loads, so I assume its a setting somewhere. But what setting? I'd rather not have to totally rebuild my profile just for Twitter.

Twitter quite famously is hosed for everyone right now because Elon didn't pay his bills. It's international news and everything. Do not try to fix the problem on your end, unless you can replace Elon and drop billions on fixing things up then just ride it out.

So I'm on KDE and with 115 it made the menu bar the same color as the window title, which I hate. Before I deepdive, does anyone know the CSS to fix this? I tried messing with the --colored-menu-bar options in https://github.com/Aris-t2/CustomCSSforFx/blob/master/current/config/color_variables.css but they don't seem to do anything, I'm not sure if they're deprecated or just don't' work on Linux.

The toolbar doesn't have a background color set. It is inherited from the whole toolbox. If you want to change just the toolbar background color, try something like: code:#menubar-items is the same vertically but it stops at the end of the menu bar horizontally. #main-menubar is boxed just around the menu bar items (less vertical height from the others). Try different ones to see what you like.

Just an ugly squared-off box.  Edit: Welp, never mind. The blue was too distracting so I went searching for a theme, I just switched from the system-matching theme to the "Light" theme and now everything's nice and grey again. A different shade of grey than before, but whatever, close enough. Knormal fucked around with this message at 04:32 on Jul 7, 2023 |

Knormal posted:Thanks, turns out #menubar-items is the only one that works under Linux, and I was able to get the menu bar grey, but the problem then became that the text was still white. So I figured out how to set the text to black, but then when I opened a private window and the background color was dark grey black was too hard to see. Tabs had similar issues, inactive tabs had white text on a grey background that was impossible to see. So I guess I'll just bite the bullet and disable tabs on top and live with the color. I'm sure there's other tags to fix it all but I don't want to have to have that complex of css settings just to get text visible. Any particular reason you're still showing the menu bar?

Lately I've noticed that foxy gestures is super slow reacting to the "close tab" gesture if I have multiple tabs open and loading. Like for example: I just opened several tabs from my SA bookmarks, switched to the first one, noticed that it was already read (because my bookmarks tab was stale). I did the close tab gesture, switched back to the bookmarks tab and refreshed it. At this point foxy gestures finally registered the action and closed the bookmarks tab instead of the read thread tab I made the gesture in.

I used to care about the menu bar until I admitted the hamburger menu's actually a pretty good design of all the actually used options in one single easy-to-access list. Same with the extensions button, I don't really need to see uBlock or Privacy Badger's icons 24/7 since I rarely need to gently caress with them. I still hit alt to access the previously closed session from the bookmarks menu though since idk, somehow it's more logical than using the hamburger menu for it. But then again I'm a sick twisted freak who uses touch density on desktop while also hiding the bookmarks bar outside of new tab so what do I know, I'm all sorts of hosed up anyway
