One caveat I’ve experienced with Firefox branches that focus on privacy is I get “punished” with captchas from hell because I refuse to let websites siphon and prey on every last bit of private info. Hopefully this doesn’t succumb to the same issue.
I'm tired of identifying buses or stoplights or motorcycles up to five times a day just for Google searches. I'm slowly moving myself over to LLM queries instead.
I get them all the time in DDD, in fact, so much that I changed to Google, who makes me point motorcycles or bridges much less.
I think it's because DDG defaults to AI at the top for new visitors, and I always start new web searches in a private window. I think it's trying to prevent automated abuse of free tokens, something that wouldn't be needed if they defaulted to no AI in the first place.
I understand that bots would enable AI anyway, but at that point they could show the captchas to them and not to everyone.
Why do you want to use services that use such captchas? It’s like going to a club and complaining about the door policy. Don’t go if you don’t like it.
Can we just limit web APIs to cookies and the likes as before? I don’t like how JavaScript has access to so many devices on the host. It’s a security and privacy nightmare.
We have totally not communism sending money to every other country in existence, but spending a single cent towards the betterment of your citizens is super duper evil communism.
I would love to know the thought process of this administration because it feels like a fever dream.
