Return #YouTube #Dislike đź‘Ž

The removal of the #Dislike button on YouTube was highly controversial. For example, you can no longer detect whether tutorials are no longer working if you can't see the high level of dislikes. With this #AddOn for #Firefox, the display of dislikes for every #video on YouTube is back.

MinusBrowser 2.27.2 is Published

Minus is like Gopher, but even simpler. MinusBrowser also browses Gophersapce.

MinusBrowser is written for Linux-based operating systems.

  • Updated OpenSSL to 3.0.13, and libcrypto.so.3 was also updated.

To update to this new version, if you already have MinusBrowser 2.1 or later, just follow the instructions on your browser’s home page. You will not need to use a web browser to update.

To get MinusBrowser if you do not already have it, download this file from Codeberg.

https://codeberg.org/giXzkGsc/Minus-Protocol/raw/branch/main/MinusBrowser.tar.gz

There is no need to install MinusBrowser. Just download the .tar.gz file to your home folder and unpack it with

tar -xzf MinusBrowser.tar.gz

or use your favorite GUI software to unpack it. If you have a version of MinusBrowser earlier than 2.1, unpack the .tar.gz file into the same directory as your present MinusBrowser folder.

To follow the progress of the Minus Protocol Project, click on #minus-protocol or look at https://nerdpol.ch/tags/minus-protocol

You can download MinusBrowser from a terminal window with this command. This will work only if Tor Browser is running because it borrows Tor Browser’s SOCKS5 proxy. (Both Tor Browser and MinusBrowser contain their own copy of Tor.)

curl --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:9150 -O gopher://mvxpelpxu2f7kzotb2s2t6fkmggvrd7qdg2wjs6waiyf2nbhkawux4yd.onion:1990/9/MinusBrowser.tar.gz

This works because all Minus URLs can be translated into Gopher URLs.

minus://something.onion/ → gopher://something.onion:1990/9/

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome

Ars Technica

Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.

(Text continues underneath the illustration.)

Version of Google name
Google's not looking as good as it used to.

Don't let Chrome's big redesign distract you from the fact that Chrome's invasive new ad platform, ridiculously branded the "Privacy Sandbox," is also getting a widespread rollout in Chrome today. If you haven't been following this, this feature will track the web pages you visit and generate a list of advertising topics that it will share with web pages whenever they ask, and it's built directly into the Chrome browser. (...)

The Electronic Frontier Foundation also argued this when it called Google's FLoC a "terrible idea", saying "[Google's] framing is based on a false premise that we have to choose between 'old tracking' and 'new tracking.' It’s not either-or. Instead of re-inventing the tracking wheel, we should imagine a better world without the myriad problems of targeted ads." (...)

Did any user in the world want a user-tracking and ad platform baked directly into their browser? Probably not, but this is Google, and they control Chrome, and this probably still won't make people switch to Firefox.

MinusBrowser 2.27 is Published

Minus is like Gopher, but even simpler. MinusBrowser also browses Gophersapce.

  • MinusBrowser now requires Minus URLs to end with a file name extension like .gz, .txt, etc. The Minus Protocol Specification already specified that the file type is indicated by the extension, implicitly requiring an extension. Now the specification makes this requirement explicit, and MinusBrowser rejects file names without extensions.
  • In addition to VLC and Audacious, MinusBrowser can now use MPV when reading pages aloud. The first choice is VLC, then Audacious, and then MPV.
  • Because MinusBrowser can not play YouTube videos discovered with Idiotbox, it now plays them with other software (by default, the default web browser). Note that this may mean downloading content without using Tor. It is also possible to play these videos with software other than a web browser, if such software is available. Search the MinusBrowser home page for "youtube" to read more details.
  • Some errors in built-in documentation have been fixed, and new information has been added.

To update to this new version, if you already have MinusBrowser 2.1 or later, just follow the instructions on your browser’s home page. You will not need to use a web browser to update.

05.02.2024 Microsoft zieht Nutzer ĂĽber den Tisch

Probleme bei der Browser-Auswahl

Heise.de berichtet über die (fiesen) Tricks mit denen Microsoft seinen NutzerInnen den hauseigenen Browser Edge unterhubeln will. Forscher im Auftrag von Mozilla haben dazu eine Studie aufgeschrieben. Hauptsächlich geht es Microsoft darum ihren eigenen Browser Edge durchzusetzen und sie von der Nutzung konkurrierender Browser wie Mozillas Firefox, Google Chrome oder Apples Safari abzubringen.

In einem ersten Schritt wird mit speziellen verbalen Formulierungen, wie "Vorauswahl", "visuelle Einmischung", "getarnte Werbung" und anderen trickreichen Formulierungen die NutzerInnen um die wirklich möglichen Auswahlmöglichkeiten gebracht.

Im weiteren werden die üblichen Standard-Webprotokolle wie "https://" durch "hauseigene" Definitionen wie "microsoft-edge://" ersetzt. Dieser zweite Schritt ist für viele schwerer zu bemerken und muss in jedem Fall als Beeinträchtigung kritisiert werden.

In Europa ist ein solches Verhalten nach dem DMA, dem Digital Markets Act, eigentlich verboten.

MinusBrowser 2.26 is Published

Minus is like Gopher, but even simpler. MinusBrowser also browses Gophersapce.

  • When you bookmark the results of a Gopher search service search, that link now works properly. This fixes a bug in previous versions.
  • MinusBrowser now reads man pages. Typing Control-m now displays the man page (if any) for the text you enter or select.
  • Control-m is no longer a substitute for the "Add to menu" button because Control-m is now used to look for man pages.
  • A new man: URL scheme now exists to support looking for man pages. You can create links to man: URLs.
  • When you click on a file:// link to a file that is not a text file, you now have the option of opening it with the default software for its file type. This will not work if the file is executable software or is likely to contain executable software (e.g., .docm and .xlsmfiles).

To update to this new version, if you already have MinusBrowser 2.1 or later, just follow the instructions on your browser’s home page. You will not need to use a web browser to update.

A closer look at online privacy: new Tor tutorials

At Tor, we're always looking for ways to empower more people to access the unrestricted internet and defend against #surveillance and censorship with our digital tools. To achieve this goal, we've taken significant steps to ensure that our tools are #user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. That includes localization of our offering into as many languages as possible.

As part of a recently completed project, we've made #Tor #Browser, Tor circumvention tools, Tor documentation and training materials, and #OnionShare available in Arabic, Chinese, and Swahili. Additionally, we've developed short, localized, and easy-to-digest explainer videos that guide users on how to access the Tor network, bypass #censorship, and share files #securely and #anonymously.

Think using Tor is difficult? Think again!
