Hi guys
Since two updates/versions back my Firefox goes haywire on
some websites - does anybody else see it too?
Amazon Prime (UK) Video menu/graphics is malformed -
https://photouploads.com/image/Mny6 - and it's only Firefox.
I'm using nightly from
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/desktop/?utm_source=blog.ni...
and I am not seeing any issues. But that could be because I just
haven't visited sites that have them. I visited
amazon.com, no issues.
Off topic, I think I started seeing fallout from the mesa removal of
va-api (in f37 and rawhide) when viewing online videos (patent issues).
And, I watched a video explaining that google is coming out with a new
addon standard (version 3) for chrome that will prevent ad and privacy
blockers from working. They claim it is a security measure, and it
will have that effect, but without blocking all those third parties, it
will slow browsing to a crawl, and all those ads will make browsing
awful. It will definitely affect chrome derived browsers unless they
build such functionality into their fork. Firefox is apparently not
going to implement this, but something else to be aware of in case they
change their mind.
