It doesn't look all that silent to me.
Sounds reasonable honestly. It's not exactly silent and you can manually change the behaviour.
I'm afraid people are going to say this 'undermines' their choice, or security.
However, I'm happy to wait and see if it ever gets 'abused' or actually comes in with real protections - overall I'd say it's a good thing to have.
Is there a list somewhere of these “quarantined” domains?
Right now, the list of quarantined domains appears to be empty.
You can view it for yourself by following the instructions in the article, or briefly, go to about:config and search for "quarantined".
Ah, I see. Looks like that should enable people to take individual domains off the list, too, if they want their extensions to work on just some of them.
What in the fuck.
This looks like a reasonable feature from what I can tell. There are tons of scammy extensions that scrape data. This looks like they are just trying to limit the damage when your uncle installs some random shopping extension that logs all the pages he visits. Plus, the feature can be disabled by the user if they know what they are doing.
what the fuck firefox? Someone please point me in the direction of a browser that won't force me to view ads. I'm tired of this shit.
uBlock Origin seems to be included in the whitelist, so I'm sure the point of this isn't to show you ads.
