Firefox (and probably others) have fingerprint protection. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-protection-agai...


Any chromium based forks?


Brave.


Going by the amount of upset advertising/cyberstalking companies that Brave is indistinguishable from Chrome, I think this may be the answer.

I don't like the way they pretend(ed) to send funds to websites using their cryptocurrency services, though. Good software, sketchy company.


+1. Also make sure to disable all cryptocurrency and "web3" related plugins for a pleasant experience.


Had a use case recently where a vendor dataset of approximately 1.5 million companies needed to be searchable. Fiddled around with Postgres for quite a while, not really managing to get good results while keeping query times below 1 second on average. Ended up going with elastic search instead but I hate the additional complexity. Anyone with similar experience or who actually made a similar setup work with pgsql?


Tried the same thing with Jumpcloud. Used it for a while. Disabled all users and moved on. 3 years (!!) later some debt collection lawyer contacts me about my $8000 bill. Wtf. Good luck collecting that.


If jumpcloud sold your account to a debt collector, they have already made their money.

It's the debt collector who will lose out.


Hopefully, just so they learn to not go around buying debts made by auto-upgrade bs


I know they’ve said it’ll be integrated into the main GitHub site, but the way it’s pitched on the landing page makes me wonder if they’ll roll it into an individual subscription like the Copilot product.


Yes. Initials of authors and contributors.


The imperialist approach you have may be better suited for a different century.


Maybe he's a royalty or deserves to be treated like one. It's incredible you and tomcam were downvoted


Contrary to everyone else I really like the new design.

The metadata is placed to the right as it should have always been. The languages are in the sidebar and are visible without me remembering that typescript is somewhat dark blue.

Also the new look is more modern and unlike most people here I am not afraid of change.


> and unlike most people here I am not afraid of change

Hear, hear!

I like the new design too. It overwhelmed me at first (somehow it felt really 'big' to me), and I'm still getting used to it on a visual level, but I appreciate all the new bits of information that I can much more easily access now (mostly in the repo sidebar).

I also appreciate that the new design doesn't actually change that much. Overall, it still feels like... GitHub.


> ...unlike most people here I am not afraid of change

Not every preference is a fear, except I guess the fear that a lot of people will now waste a lot more time learning things that used to be obvious at a glance.

The tables are somehow less dense and less readable at the same time; the added line spacing should have helped with this, but overall it's worse. The controls are needlessly stretched across the entire width of the screen, which these days is most likely wide, so reading and moving your mouse between controls is inherently more laborious (it's also just ugly).


Did you check it on mobile or desktop? I like the mobile version, however I dislike the desktop version with elements scattered all over the screen.


I don’t really see the reason to credit here. As a product developer you obviously draw inspiration from your competition, and do whatever you need to keep up and hopefully get ahead. This is in my opinion exactly the same as Instagram implementing stories from Snapchat. Doing so is perfectly fine, entirely legal, and in this sense being a gentleman and not implementing the feature will cause you to be set back compared to the competition.


Why are you bringing up the question of if it's illegal or not when no one else is? There's no dispute as to whether or not it's illegal -- it isn't. There's no argument there. There's realistically, nothing to be afraid of from a legal standpoint, which is what makes the behavior from organizations with large legal resources so puzzling.

People keep bringing up Facebook/Instagram and Snapchat. Facebook/Instagram has had no issue with admitting that Snapchat was an inspiration, so that doesn't help your argument. The issue here is credit and attribution, not legality or morality.


> This is in my opinion exactly the same as Instagram implementing stories from Snapchat.

As someone in an earlier comment pointed out, Instagram credited Snapchat.

> The one thing you never hear in Silicon Valley is an entrepreneur admit they copied someone else. Yet there in the headquarters of Facebook, the world’s most prolific product cloner, Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom surprised me.


This is uncool of Strava to the point that I'm quite certain that I don't want a Strava subscription anymore so I cancelled it just now.
