Time for this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News video!
This week, we have #Firefox adding experimental AI tools to their nightly builds, #Wayland gaining window position and size restore capabilities, the Framework 12 going on preorder (even in the US after some tariffs shenanigans), and some leaks about #Valve's new VR headet:
Edit: Found the culprit, luckily the baddie was FF itself. It was basically DDoSing my connection with like a gazillion requests to detectportal.firefox.com (to the point my internet connection started to get dropped). Disabled network.captive-portal-service.enabled and that solved the problem.

It's been a loooong time since I've done some actual testing on browsers. I used to know this stuff but brain gone nowadays. Help me out?
So, my main FF on Linux has started to do some work for someone naughty. Even with all tabs closed, it's humming along on over 60% CPU and moving about 70KiB/s of data of both ways. So something's obviously coming in, being processed, and going out in same size chunks. Crypto-shenanigans of course come into mind. about:processes doesn't show anything there, just the main FF instance using bocu processor.
I'm curious enough to find out what has happened, as this has been my daily driver (yeah yeah, switching to LibreWolf is under works). Any tips what to look for and where?

I have good news for us Linux fans: I tested Windows using the same method and it's consistently worse than all three!
71 ms on Windows 10
Interestingly, Windows was very, very consistent, though. Almost all data points are within 5 ms of each other.

Glad to see #Rob from #FPF brings up #Kobler's #contextualads solution as a viable alternative to #RTB and #SurveillanceAdvertising.
Also makes a super important point about mandatory #DoNotTrack signals in browsers.
IMO this is what #Mozilla should be working towards, not making #Firefox as a data collection platform.
Firefox's new experimental AI feature looks like it could work. 
It's FOSS News · I Tried This Upcoming AI Feature in FirefoxFirefox will be bringing an experimental AI-generated link previews, offering quick on-device summaries. Here's my quick experience with it.
I'm sure everyone is going love the new #Firefox update.
Edit: this is far from being shoved down your throat. You have to go into the settings and enable the sidebar, and then you have to click the little AI button in the sidebar.
If you didn't go looking for it you would never know it's there.

@ryanleesipes and AFAIK #Mozilla only has the #Trademark for #Thunderbird and @thunderbird is being granted useage for no fee...
- Personally I wish Mozilla would also release #Firefox if not come to an arrangement where @torproject / #TorBrowser becomes the new #Upstream instead.
After all, that"s certainly better re: #privacy and way better than "yet another #Chromium fork" like #BraveBrowser ...
Запускаю Файрфикс и сразу же переключаюсь на, скажем, 1Цэ, чтобы одно дело доделать. Через пару часов прихожу в себя и переключаюсь на Файрфикс. Ожидание: загружена стартовая страницы с популярными ссылками и всё такое прочее. Реальность: в броузере даже интерфейс не прорисовался, на панели ссылок оные ссылки только начинают появляться, как при старте программы, а стартовая страница только начинает загружаться. Это что за инновации такие? #программы #Firefox

Firefox is about: No more confusion about add-on data collection
Anyone who installs a Firefox extension must first agree to any data collection. However, according to Mozilla, the query has worked poorly so far.

So, nachdem auch bei meinem chromium ublock deaktiviert wurde, bin ich Back to the roots zu #Firefox
#manifestv3 nicht so geil
Mildly perplexed that #Firefox will sync nearly all your settings, including about half of your extensions' settings, yet still doesn't sync your per-domain zoom settings.
Such a basic thing. I wonder if it's implemented oddly on the backend and that makes it hard to sync nicely, or maybe there's a use case I'm not thinking of where it would screw other users over?

Es ist recht ärgerlich, dass Firefox-Benutzer nach dem Update KI deaktivieren müssen. Das findet man nicht in den normalen Einstellungen. Man muss in der Adressleiste "about:config" eingeben.

𝕳𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖊𝕬𝖓𝖉𝖊𝖗𝖙 @jon My story is that in the early 2000's I was very torn between Internet Explorer, #Firefox and #Opera. I was constantly trying out new browsers.
Opera, however, was the browser that offered the most extensive options for customizing the browser to your own needs, at that time without any interface for add-ons. And that with strong competition like Firefox, which offered an interface for add-ons.
When the big change came after version 12 of the Opera browser, I had to take the difficult path, as there was no real alternative. I don't like to think back to that time.
When Vivaldi then developed a new browser under the direction of Jon von Tetzchner with many former Opera Software employees, I immediately realized that something really big was going to happen and that there would finally be a great alternative on the browser market again.
Without further ado, I have been using Vivaldi every day since the first technical preview (TP1) and would never want to use any other browser again. Having followed the development of Vivaldi since the (official) beginning, it's like watching a child grow up.
Vivaldi is my constant companion, both privately and professionally. Especially in the professional environment, Vivaldi offers me great opportunities to optimize my #workflow.
If you are using #firefox go to "about:config" and switch the "browser.ml.chat.enabled" option to false.
You're welcome.
