We should gamify it. We should socialize the medicine, so everyone can afford it - I mean, come on- but then:

If you work in a lab which creates a life saving drug - you get a ticker tape parade through every fucking city in the USA - you get a bronze statue in the “park of medical heroes.” Everyone knows you as “the man who fucking cured HSHBRHF variant 4x.”

Btw, disabling Safe Browsing didn’t do the trick.

I did download LibreWolf. I have bad news - it does exactly the same thing.

Sigh. Maybe if you are using it you should profile it on osx or windows - or ntop linux I think will do it.

Ok I have some news -

It’s not safebrowsing - or probably not - maybe I just can’t turn it off now or something.

So I

• “refreshed” firefox to get to original state
• disabled all of safebrowsing via settings and then via about:config -> “safebr*.enabled”
• disabled all telemetry that got turned on via refresh
• turned off fucking AI

Nothing worked.

Eventually got logs running with: “export MOZ_LOG=timestamp,rotate:200,nsHttp:5,cache2:5,nsSocketTransport:100,nsHostResolver:100”

found out mozilla is doing fucking push notifications?? wtf. that resolves to google? turned that off.

Anyway, it does a bunch of shit. All talking to google in the end.

I hate Firefox. I’m so over all of this.

When I start the browser, and it is blank, and I have done nothing, it should do nothing. If it needs some base certificate updates, it should do this once a week. Or never. Let me decide.

Talking to google, even doing dns lookups every fucking time I open a browser. God. Who are these people. /rant

I’ve disabled all of the safe browsing via about:config

still talks to google. weird. also it still keeps the connection open either for re-use or, dunno.

Firefox is trying to connect to 34.160.144.191 at startup. It continues the connection, perhaps to reuse it, or whatever.

Firefox should never talk to google. And if there is some database that google has that firefox needs, Firefox should duplicate that DB. The fact that I have this thing talking to google anytime I do anything is gross. Anyhow. Blah blah blah. I’m annoying! ;-)

I have a feeling it’s the safebrowsing. Will find out later. And then will disable.

Hmm, I don’t think so in this case. Although I will check tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!

True

f course not; it’s the distro that makes the call. But I want the Librewolf folks to make the effort to get accepted by the distro.

Hmm, I will try the LibreWolf - will also try disabling safe browsing.

Thanks for the info!
