Are you a child? Who has discussions like this??
- Comment on The admin of the third largest Mastodon instance (16k monthly active users) is asking for help to pay rent 4 weeks ago:
I mean, unrealistic to get anything close to all active users donating. Nobody should be expecting to setup an instance an expect tens of thousands of dollars a month.
As an indie dev back in the day, it’s a fraction of uses are willing to fork anything at all.
If anything, if you’re a whale, go big on your individual donation if you want a large impact.
Either way, you shouldn’t need that much money to cover server costs for a mere 16,000 users.

Other security implications are stilp valid.
- Comment on Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout 2 months ago:
Security and sandboxing are important, weak points on the android implementation.
- Comment on Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout 2 months ago:
Main reason I don’t is cuz:
Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they’re currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface. Gecko doesn’t have a WebView implementation (GeckoView is not a WebView implementation), so it has to be used alongside the Chromium-based WebView rather than instead of Chromium, which means having the remote attack surface of two separate browser engines instead of only one. Firefox / Gecko also bypass or cripple a fair bit of the upstream and GrapheneOS hardening work for apps. Worst of all, Firefox does not have internal sandboxing on Android. This is despite the fact that Chromium semantic sandbox layer on Android is implemented via the OS isolatedProcess feature, which is a very easy to use boolean property for app service processes to provide strong isolation with only the ability to communicate with the app running them via the standard service API. Even in the desktop version, Firefox’s sandbox is still substantially weaker (especially on Linux) and lacks full support for isolating sites from each other rather than only containing content as a whole. The sandbox has been gradually improving on the desktop but it isn’t happening for their Android browser yet.

Like some people can only see the glass half full. Few have the guys to look at both the fullness and the emptyness equally.
