It is really a shame as Firefox is really great to use these days. I've noticed that when switching back from safari and chrome. I now use it both on macOS, Linux and on my iOS devices, where I mostly use Firefox Klar for privacy. I find the the sync feature is very useful (bookmarks, history, passwords) and I trust Mozilla more than I do google. Those notices though, when I do use google services are frustrating and annoying, not to say off putting.


In respect to value, at least, bio/organic (real, not just misleading labeling) is suppose to be free of pesticides, and that's actually a good thing... I'm sure.

Regardless, I don't think even the WHO suggests there's a preference to organic food, but clearly indicates the danger of food contaminated with pesticides.

Even if most pesticides are now forbidden in most developed countries, we can see that in the USA legislation and regulation is being again "relaxed", which is not a good thing.


Is it possible to fix the scale factor for Linux desktop hidpi display? It doesn't seem to pickup system global setting for the display. Does it use GTK on Linux or what is it using otherwise?


Yup, same problem here on a XPS 13 with Fedora 26.


Yes, this will be fixed asap. I was testing the Linux build in a VM that doesn't support hidpi, sorry about that.


Great!


Biggest problem with with ads is tracking (privacy). Performance is an issue, but I'm not surprised that opera is making it sound as that's really the problem. Privacy concerns are mentioned briefly. Mozilla aporoach to ad blocking is truly user/consumer oriented, not just a lame attempt to still control and revenu from the whitelisting market.


That might be the case, but I don't think it is. In my experience, people dislike adverts on the web because they are obtrusive, obnoxious, and slow. Tracking is fairly low down the list of complaints.


Pretty sure uBlock Origin doesn't have a whitelisting service or anything. They just do what it is they are supposed to do.


> Biggest problem with with ads is tracking (privacy)

There are a lot of problems with ads. And if you ask 5 people what the biggest one is, your going to get 5 different answers. Rather than point out which one is the "biggest", we should point out which reason we are focusing on.


I'd say the biggest problem is malwertising
