etc.
is there any easy way to make @firefox only connect to the hosts i actually want it to?
WTF MOZ SRSLY?
@Mozilla keeps attacking more and more the interest of its users... since they accepted DRM in HTML5? or even earlier since signing that deal with Google? What was in the deal by the way? Now we're in such deep shit...
@jz @Mozilla I think it is really unfair. There are things like captive portal detection, the H264 plugin updating itself or Safebrowsing. Most users probably want those features. They don't seem to be used for tracking.
Please understand that many programs need to connect to many different hosts to work correctly and that isn't used for tracking purposes nor for delivering backdoors, etc.
