In response to several court orders, Cloudflare geoblocked more than 400 sports streaming piracy domain names on its pass-through service in France last year. Notably. Cloudflare says that, despite requests, it has not blocked any websites through the 1.1.1.1 Public DNS Resolver. That last comment is relevant to the renewed site blocking push in the United States.

If they kept my privacy 100%, sure I could pay up to 3 dollars a month.

If they did not prove themselves to be a better browser in terms of privacy, then what is the purpose of their existence?

(I am not the one who wrote this blog post)

I actually kind of trying different browsers on Android, but my setup is iron fox on my phone and brave on my desktop.

I think Firefox lost long time ago on the desktop, I never know why they don't focus on their market share on phones more(Firefox for Android started displaying pages weirdly in the last 2 weeks and they almost never add new futures to it.)

Anyway, I will be waiting for Servo in 2025.

 

It’s been a long time coming, but the trust in Firefox and its mother organization, Mozilla, seems to be mostly gone, after a recent commit on the source code removed the “we don’t sell your data” promise, along with a change of Privacy notice and Terms of Use.

 

Marketshare by OS.

Back during January Steam on Linux dropped by 0.23% to a 2.06% marketshare while overnight the numbers were published for February 2025...

The February numbers show a staggering 0.61% drop to Linux use, putting the overall Linux gaming marketshare at just 1.45%. This is a significant drop and haven't seen Linux numbers this low in quite some time.

Abstract.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a cutting-edge technology capable of producing text, images, and various media content leveraging generative models and user prompts. Between 2022 and 2023, generative AI surged in popularity with a plethora of applications spanning from AI-powered movies to chatbots. This paper investigates the potential of generative AI within the realm of the World Wide Web, specifically focusing on image generation. Web developers already harness generative AI to help craft text and images, while Web browsers might use it in the future to locally generate images for tasks such as repairing broken webpages, conserving bandwidth, and enhancing privacy. To explore this research area, this paper developed WebDiffusion, a tool that allows to simulate a Web powered by stable diffusion, a popular text-to-image model, from both a client and server perspective. Such a tool is the first of its kind, paving the way towards a futuristic world wide web where web images can be created using generative AI. WebDiffusion further supports crowdsourcing of user opinions, which is used to evaluate the quality and accuracy of 409 AI-generated images sourced from 60 webpages. Our findings suggest that generative AI is already capable of producing pertinent and high-quality Web images, even without requiring Web designers to manually input prompts, just by leveraging contextual information available within the webpages. However, direct in-browser image generation remains a challenge, as only highly powerful GPUs, such as the A40 and A100, can (partially) compete with classic image downloads. Nevertheless, this approach could be valuable for a subset of the images, for example, when fixing broken webpages or handling highly private content.

I believe the table is correct, maybe the contributor confused them.

 

For people who pirate HBO service products, no changes, your lifetime subscription to piracy is still valid.

Hi,

This is not my project, I just liked it.

[–] Tea@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

You are right, I think it might worth suggesting it to the author on codeberg.

your license

I am not the project leader.

There's too many unknowns

Public domain?

You can do with the project what ever you want with no restrictions.

How do you discover providers on simplex?

No problem, I will resubmit later. I used the wrong article link anyway.

Hate to be this guy, but in theory Youtube would be get aggressive towards both Firefox users(anti competition) and uBlock Origin users( to raise their revenue and to push for YouTube premium).

I hope uBlock Origin keep working forever, but I think at at some point YouTube will get more aggressive till adblock users will be unable to use Youtube.
