Normal ass websites will monitor user inputs to do things like profile users. I’m pretty sure those “click to show youre not a robot” captchas actually capture how your mouse moves to the box, for example. It’s not that crazy honestly.

Most of it is ice.

More like an astronaughty.

I'm sorry, I thought you were joking. I wasn't making fun of him at all, merely adding some support to what protist was saying - there's a difference between saying someone is narcissistic (exhibiting narcissitic personality traits) and saying someone has NPD, or "grandiose narcissism". I think a small amount of narcissism is probably necessary for maintaining things like self-esteem. Greek mythology is full of some really messed up stories, I think we can both agree on that at least.

Ovid! That's the name I couldn't remember. I looked it up and 'Echo and Narcissus' is definitely the version I remember reading in school.

Why use 1 hammer with 50 hammers will do the job even better!

If I had a life I wouldn't be posting about Greek mythology on Lemmy would I!

Thanks for adding that detail, makes sense. I was thinking the link previews were yeah more like the google results. Hover over and not have to go to the site.

That's a good question. I'd personally argue that it's different in that the adblockers are not an inbuilt part of Firefox, they're made by extension developers. This is built right into the browser.

This isn't my wheelhouse so take it with a grain of salt, but an argument against link summarizers that I've heard is that it takes views away from websites that could be generating revenue for themselves. Instead an LLM scraped their content and fed a summary directly to the user.

There are a bunch of flags in about:config you can check as well, if you wanna be extra sure they're turned off. Just search for browser.ml. There are more but this was all I could capture in one screenshot. Bold means I had to change it, which means it was on by default. That said I'm using CachyOS repos, not the direct Arch ones.

Gonna get my news one pixel at a time just like grandpappy did on his 9600 baud.
