Yeah, https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete and works with Firefox containers.

My current work forces me to work with Apple (because they are lazy to prepare Linux for working), I have been on Linux for almost 10 years and I really want to quit my Job because of this stupid Apple laptop, it is trash, the DE is stupid, and I have many issues (with settings, login items, alacritty not working... yabai stopped to work without any reason...) that stresses me a lot... So good, I love my work and I still enjoy working, but the macOS is pure trash.

Well, if you are new to Linux, it is better if you just install new distros to try them, I would go to Arch Linux as it's the cleanest distro, I could install multiple DE without issues, but then it's a bit mess of packages, also it's harder to install, you need to type archinstall and understand their options. I have a desktop and laptop and I always use the laptop for testing, if you copy the ~/.config folder, you can restore all your applications settings (just copy the app settings you are using), ~/.mozilla to restore your browser as you had it before the wipe and some more settings are under ~/.local. I also copy my ~/.zshrc because I have a custom prompt, configs, add-ons, alias...

Yes, this worked for me. 🙂

I see, thanks for the explanation.

But I still think it's wrong. Linux is the most used because it's open source, anyone can audit it and adapt it to their servers or any infrastructure that can compute, as many libraries like OpenSSH and others that most closed source repositories are using to not re-make them from 0.

I didn't ignore.

those tend to be different attacks than would target random consumer computers

That doesn't mean attacks on Linux are minors, just different kind of attacks, because a user mistake is easier to exploit than a vulnerability in a software/code. That's not about software mistakes that create vulnerabilities, that's a user mistake that install malware.

open source definitely plays a role in Linux security, but it’s minor compared to stuff like market share, user privilege, package management vs just installing random exes, different distros using different packaging systems

This kind of attacks you are saying are actually the "minor" attacks that daily occurs, but normally the most effective, there is a lot of scam, but daily or hourly there are millions or billions of attacks everywhere, or that's what my cybersecurity team at my company showed me, they are 24/7 there to never let any attack penetrate to the organization. Imperva and Cloudflare (for example) are or have powerful firewalls that block many attacks every minute. And you are comparing that to a malware that a user install.

So that's why I am saying, because you can't see them, doesn't mean there aren't attacks.

Edit: More data added on bottom.

I found this: https://www.imperva.com/cyber-threat-index/

The Cyber Threat Index is calculated using data gathered from all Imperva sensors across the world including over:

• Over 25 monthly PBs (Peta Bytes1015) of network traffic passed through our CDN
• 30 billions (109) of monthly Web application attacks, across 1 trillion (10¹²) of HTTP requests analyzed by our Web Application Firewall service (Cloud WAF)
• Hundreds of monthly application and database vulnerabilities, as processed by our security intelligence aggregation from multiple sources

JavaScript isn't the best language to make a desktop interface in my opinion, it can be very efficient, but you can see in bugs (at least in the past) how bad performance it had, and they needed to re-factor it to replace to C or improve the JavaScript. I'm just laughing and making fun of it using JavaScript, not saying it is slow, Gnome is pretty fast nowadays.

There is less than 4% more code in C than JavaScript. That's pretty much, many features on the gnome-desktop is using JavaScript too, like gestures and mouse events.

Okay... That's too much! That's sad.

But https://searx.space/ is like Lemmy, you can donate to those instances to help them to keep it on. It is not really a search engine, so the power usage isn't that big, it uses other search engines to get the results, the difference is that the search engines like Google, DDG, Bing and etc don't know who did those requests. The quality isn't bad neither, but I can't really say the difference as I never tried Kagi. 🤔

I would worry more about the rights of the workers, in tech, companies uses a lot of slavery work and get resources from places in a bad way, forcing more slavery in very bad conditions which is basically stealing resources from other countries. If you want something ethic, you could go to Fairphone which is more expensive than others for less capacity/power, but it is ethical.

Apart from that, any android have the ability to install a new ROM, just search for the support for it, as more support it has less difficult it will be to install custom and clean ROM, so doesn't really matter where it comes from. Just check the support for custom ROMs and if you are really worried about equality go to Fairphone.
