The consequence of updating to Android 14 when multiple users have been set up is that the device can lose the ability to access media storage or it can reboot with a "Factory data reset" message. Accepting the message, Google's community manager says, means non-backed up data will be lost. And rejecting it can send the device into a reboot loop.

After years of supporting Mozilla financially and spreading messages with my peers, I returned as an active contributor. I defined a 4-week sprint for myself that started on November 22th and finished on my birthday, December 22th. My goals were: 1: To contribute to the localization every day, including weekends. In the beginning, it was hard for me to build a habit of using the little free time I had to contribute to the L1on instead of watching a short documentary or something funnier. After the third day, I nailed it. It helped that I added a reminder for myself in my work calendar and that my current employer supported me with this mission. 2: To ensure that Thunderbird is 100% localized in Bulgarian (it was around 67% at that mark) Now it's a 100%. I could also contribute with a few strings to the Turkish and Czech translations. The next step is to ensure that the translated content makes sense to the end consumer. That's the goal of my next sprint. 3: To ensure that Firefox Focus for Android and IoS and the Facebook Container will also reach 100% localization. It's 100% now. I don't know how many people use it in Bulgaria, but if they want to, it's translated entirely. That was a concise task, thanks to the efforts of the other translators in the past. I translated the delta between January and November 4: To reconnect with the local and international community to contribute more to the project. This is where I need to invest more. I was active in the past, traveling and talking about Mozilla at local and international events and actively building the Bulgarian and Balkan communities. After that, I gave up for reasons I don't want to comment on now, partially because of my personality and ego. I've lost a lot of great friends and peers from Mozilla. I am trying to reconnect with them now. 5: To find another way to help Thunderbird apart from localization and donations. I am now active in the Thunderbird support forum and validating bugs under Linux in Bugzilla for Beta and Daily versions. I would invest some time there as well into my next sprint. Be creative, be brave, and contribute to the open source as you can with your time, knowledge, resources, or good intentions. Also published . here

90 Stories To Learn About Mozilla

Mozilla Firefox is one of the most popular web browsers around, and for good reason. It's fast, secure, open-source, and it's backed by an organization that actually respects your privacy. That's why at PrivacyTools as a general-purpose browser for most users. we recommend Firefox We think Firefox is fantastic out of the box, but where it really shines is customizability. By adjusting Firefox privacy settings and using helpful add-ons, you can increase your privacy and security even further. 1. Change Your Search Engine This is an easy one if you're looking for some protection from big advertising networks. In the tab of your Firefox Preferences, change your to something other than Google. Search Default Search Engine Out of the built-in options, DuckDuckGo is the most privacy respecting service, but there's a number of that can be easily installed as well. search engines we would recommend 2. Enhanced Tracking Protection Now we'll delve into the biggest set of options for people like us, Firefox's options section. First up is their . This set of filters is set to Standard by default, but we'll want to change it to Strict for more comprehensive coverage. Privacy & Security Enhanced Tracking Protection Strict protection takes a stronger stance against third-party trackers and cookies, but in rare situations it can break some websites. However, there's no need to worry about enabling it here. If you suspect the Strict browsing protection is breaking a website you visit frequently, you can disable it on a site by site basis with the shield icon in the address bar. Disabling Enhanced Tracking Protection will of course decrease your privacy on that site, so you will have consider whether that's something you are willing to compromise on, on a site-by-site basis. Another benefit of Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection is that it can actually speed up your browsing! Advertising networks and social media embeds can sometimes make your browser download huge files just to show an ad or a like button, and blocking those out trims the fat, in a sense. 3. Disabling Telemetrics When you use Firefox, Mozilla collects information about what you do, what kind of extensions you have installed, and various other aspects of your browser. While they claim to do this in a privacy-respecting way, sending as little data as possible is always preferred from a privacy standpoint, so we would go ahead and uncheck all the boxes under just to be safe. Firefox Data Collection and Use 4. Clearing Cookies Regularly For more advanced users, Firefox provides the option to delete all your cookies and site data every time Firefox is closed. Cookies and site data are little pieces of information sites store in your browser, and they have a myriad of uses. They are used for things like keeping you logged in and saving your website preferences, but they also can be used to track you across different websites. By deleting your cookies regularly, your browser will appear clean to websites, making you harder to track. This will likely log you out of websites quite often, so make sure that's an inconvenience you're willing to put up with for enhanced tracking protection. 5. Enable DNS over HTTPS DNS (or the Domain Name System) is what your browser uses to turn domain names like privacytools.io into IP addresses like 145.239.169.56. Because computers can only make connections to IP addresses, it's necessary to use DNS every time you visit a new domain. But DNS is unencrypted by default, that means everyone on your network (including your ISP) can view what domains you're looking up, and in some situations even change the IP answers to redirect you to their own websites! Encrypting your DNS traffic can shield your queries and add some additional protection to your browsing. Encrypted DNS takes many forms: DNS over HTTPS (DoH), DNS over TLS, DNSCrypt, etc., but they all accomplish the same thing. They keep your DNS queries private from your ISP, and they make sure they aren't tampered with in transit between your DNS provider. Fortunately, Firefox recently added native DoH support to the browser. On the page of your preferences, scroll down to and open . At the bottom of the window you will be able to select "Enable DNS over HTTPS" and choose a provider: General Network Settings Keep in mind that by using DoH you're sending all your queries to a single provider, probably Cloudflare unless you choose that supports DNS over HTTPS. While it may add some privacy protection from your ISP, you're only shifting that trust to the DoH provider. Make sure that's something you want to do. another provider It should also be noted that even with DoH, your ISP will still be able to see what domain you're connecting to because of a technology called Server Name Indication (SNI). Until SNI is encrypted as well, there's no getting around it. Encrypted SNI (eSNI) is in the works — and can actually be today — but it only works with a small number of servers, mainly ones operated by Cloudflare, so its use is limited currently. enabled on Firefox Therefore, while DoH provides some additional privacy and integrity protections, its use as a privacy tool is limited until other supplemental tools like eSNI and are finalized and implemented. DNSSEC 6. Use an Adblocker By far, the biggest privacy concern when browsing the web today is third-party tracking networks, like large advertisers and social media companies. Additionally, the use of online advertisements to spread malware and cryptominers ( ) has seen a recent upswing in popularity. This is why we recommend all users use a good adblocker on their browser. malvertising We recommend , an efficient ad- and tracker-blocker that is easy on memory, and yet can load and enforce thousands more filters than competing blockers. We trust it because it is completely open-source, and unlike its competitors, it has no monetization strategy: There's no "Acceptable" ads program or a similar whitelist like many other adblockers feature. uBlock Origin 7. Install "HTTPS Everywhere" HTTPS is the secure, encrypted version of HTTP. When you see an address starting with https:// along with the padlock in your browser's address bar, you know that your connection to the website is completely secure. This is of course important when you're logging into websites and sending your passwords and emails in a form. But it also prevents people on your network and your ISP from snooping in on what you're reading, or changing the contents of an unencrypted webpage to whatever they want. Therefore, is a must-have extension, all it does is upgrade your HTTP connections to HTTPS wherever possible. And because it works silently in the background, you probably will never notice it! We trust HTTPS Everywhere because it is completely open-source, and is developed by the , a non-profit dedicated to promoting private and secure technologies. HTTPS Everywhere Electronic Frontier Foundation Of course, it only works with sites that support HTTPS on the server's side, so you'll still need to keep an eye on your address bar to make sure you're securely connected. But fortunately more and more websites have implemented HTTPS thanks to the advent of free certificates from organizations like Let's Encrypt. 8. Install "Decentraleyes" When you connect to many websites, your browser is most likely making connections to a myriad of "Content Delivery Networks" like Google Fonts, Akamai, and Cloudflare, to download fonts and Javascript that make the website run. This generally makes websites look and feel better, but it means you're constantly making connections to these servers, allowing them to build a fairly accurate tracking profile of you. works by impersonating those CDNs locally in your browser. When a website wants to download a program like jQuery, instead of connecting to a remote CDN Decentraleyes will serve the file from its own cache of files. This means that you'll won't have to make remote CDN connections for the files that Decentraleyes supports, and therefore the remote CDNs can't track your browser. Decentraleyes Because everything is stored locally instead of on a far away server, Decentraleyes has the added benefit of speeding up your browsing as well. Everything happens instantly, and you won't see a difference in the websites you visit. 9. Consider Multi-Account Containers Mozilla has an in-house add-on called that allows you to isolate websites from each other. For example, you could have Facebook in a container separate from your other browsing. In this situation, Facebook would only be able to set cookies with your profile on sites within the container, keeping your other browsing protected. Multi-Account Containers A containers setup may be a good alternative to techniques like regularly deleting cookies, but requires a lot of manual intervention to setup and maintain. If you want complete control of what websites can do in your browser, it's definitely worth looking into, but we wouldn't call it a necessary addition by any means. Additional Resources — Our comprehensive set of recommendations for browsers and tweaks you can make to enhance your privacy is a great next step for more advanced users looking to protect their privacy online. Web Browsers at PrivacyTools — For more advanced users, the ghacks user.js is a "configuration file that can control hundreds of Firefox settings [...] which aims to provide as much privacy and enhanced security as possible, and to reduce tracking and fingerprinting as much as possible - while minimizing any loss of functionality and breakage". ghacks user.js — Of course, we always recommend reading through the privacy statement of any organization you deal with, and Mozilla is no exception. Mozilla's Privacy Policy Firefox Privacy Summary In conclusion, we believe that Firefox is the most promising browser for privacy-conscious individuals. The non-profit behind it seems truly dedicated to promoting user control and privacy, and the good defaults coupled with the sheer customizability of the browser allow you to truly protect your information when you browse the web.

Nine Essential Privacy Settings and Add-ons for Mozilla Firefox

Last month, and I added an autocomplete search to , that allows you to quickly jump straight to the document you’re looking for by typing parts of the document title. This is the story about how that’s implemented. If you stick around to the end, I’ll share an “easter egg” feature that, once you’ve learned it, will make you look really cool at dinner parties. Or, perhaps you just want to navigate MDN faster than mere mortals. Gregor Weber MDN Web Docs In its simplest form, the input field has an event listener that filters through a complete list of every single document title (per locale). At the time of writing, there are 11,690 different document titles (and their URLs) for English US. You can see a preview by opening . Yes, it’s huge, but it’s not too huge to load all into memory. After all, together with the code that does the searching, it’s only loaded when the user has indicated intent to type something. And speaking of size, because the file is compressed with , the file is only 144KB over the network. onkeypress https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search-index.json Brotli Implementation Details By default, the only JavaScript code that’s loaded is a small shim that watches for and for the search field. There’s also an event listener on the whole that looks for a certain keystroke. Pressing at any point, acts the same as if you had used your mouse cursor to put focus into the field. As soon as focus is triggered, the first thing it does is download two JavaScript bundles which turns the field into something much more advanced. In its simplest (pseudo) form, here’s how it works: onmouseover onfocus <input> document / <input> <input> <input 
 type="search" 
 name="q"
 onfocus="startAutocomplete()" 
 onmouseover="startAutocomplete()"
 placeholder="Site search..." 
 value="q"> let started = false;
function startAutocomplete() {
  if (started) {
    return false;
  }
  const script = document.createElement("script");
  script.src = "https://2r4s9p1yi1fa2jd7j43zph8r-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/static/js/autocomplete.js";
  document.head.appendChild(script);
} Then it loads which is where the real magic happens. Let’s dig deeper with the pseudo code: /static/js/autocomplete.js (async function() {
  const response = await fetch('/en-US/search-index.json');
  const documents = await response.json();
  
  const inputValue = document.querySelector(
    'input[type="search"]'
  ).value;
  const flex = FlexSearch.create();
  documents.forEach(({ title }, i) => {
    flex.add(i, title);
  });

  const indexResults = flex.search(inputValue);
  const foundDocuments = indexResults.map((index) => documents[index]);
  displayFoundDocuments(foundDocuments.slice(0, 10));
})(); As you can probably see, this is an oversimplification of how it actually works, but it’s not yet time to dig into the details. The next step is to display the matches. We use (TypeScript) React to do this, but the following pseudo code is easier to follow: function displayFoundResults(documents) {
  const container = document.createElement("ul");
  documents.forEach(({url, title}) => {
    const row = document.createElement("li");
    const link = document.createElement("a");
    link.href = url;
    link.textContent = title;
    row.appendChild(link);
    container.appendChild(row);
  });
  document.querySelector('#search').appendChild(container);
} Then with some CSS, we just display this as an overlay just beneath the field. For example, we highlight each according to the and various keystroke event handlers take care of highlighting the relevant row when you navigate up and down. <input> title inputValue Ok, let’s dig deeper into the implementation details We create the index just and . Because the user might type more while waiting for the network, it’s actually reactive so executes the actual search once all the JavaScript and the JSON XHR have arrived. FlexSearch once re-use it for every new keystroke Before we dig into what this is, let’s talk about how the display actually works. For that we use a React library called which handles all the interactions, displays, and makes sure the displayed search results are accessible. is a mature library that handles a myriad of challenges with building a widget like that, especially the aspects of making it accessible. FlexSearch downshift downshift So, what is this library? It’s another third party that makes sure that searching on titles is done with natural language in mind. It describes itself as the “Web’s fastest and most memory-flexible full-text search library with zero dependencies.” which is a lot more performant and accurate than attempting to simply look for one string in a long list of other strings. FlexSearch Deciding which Result to Show First In fairness, if the user types , it’s not that hard to reduce a list of 10,000+ document titles down to only those that contain in the title, then we decide which result to show first. The way we implement that is relying on pageview stats. We record, for every single MDN URL, which one gets the most pageviews as a form of determining “popularity”. The documents that most people decide to arrive on are most probably what the user was searching for. foreac foreac Our that generates the file knows about each URLs number of pageviews. We actually don’t care about absolute numbers, but what we do care about is the relative differences. For example, we know that (that’s one of the document titles) is a more popular page than , so we leverage that and sort the entries in accordingly. Now, with doing the reduction, we use the “natural order” of the array as the trick that tries to give users the document they were probably looking for. It’s actually the same technique we use for in our full site-search. More about that in: . build-process search-index.json Array.prototype.forEach() TypedArray.prototype.forEach() search-index.json FlexSearch Elasticsearch How MDN’s site-search works The Easter Egg: How to search by URL Actually, it’s not a whimsical easter egg, but a feature that came from the fact that this autocomplete needs to work for our content creators. You see, when you work on the you start a local “preview server” which is a complete copy of all documents but all running locally, as a static site, under . There, you don’t want to rely on a server to do searches. Content authors need to quickly move between documents, so much of the reason why the autocomplete search is done entirely in the client is because of that. content in MDN http://localhost:5000 Commonly implemented in tools like the VSCode and Atom IDEs, you can do “fuzzy searches” to find and open files simply by typing portions of the file path. For example, searching for should find the file . You can do that with MDN’s autocomplete search too. The way you do it is by typing as the first input character. whmlemvo files/web/html/element/video / It makes it really quick to jump straight to a document if you know its URL but don’t want to spell it out exactly. In fact, there’s another way to navigate and that is to first press anywhere when browsing MDN, which activates the autocomplete search. Then you type again, and you’re off to the races! / / How to Get Really Deep into the Implementation Details The code for all of this is in the which is the project that builds and previews all of the . To find the exact code, click into the source code and you’ll find all the code for lazy-loading, searching, preloading, and displaying autocomplete searches.

How the autocomplete search in the Mozilla Documentation Works

I joined a panel with awesome fellow founders and builders of Mozilla to discuss the future of "citizen publishing" as a way to democratize the internet. Massive shoutout to "How to do nothing" by Jenny Odell which informs a lot of my thinking on what is wrong with the internet and how we can began to fix it. You can watch me from 30:28 and at 1:23:39. David Transcript of my part: Question: Also we have with us Linh of Hacker Noon whose team has worked tirelessly to decentralize citizen journalism. Linh - we hear a lot about misinformation.. and big media channels can be worrisome sometimes. How does citizen journalism promise to keep society differently? Answer: Here at Hacker Noon, I think a lot about the flow of information. If you think about how we traditionally receive information, it's typically via things like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, a group of very prestigious journalists that create the kind of information that people historically trust. Now with the rise of social media, you see an entirely different way "citizens" can receive information (whether or not it's journalism is questionable). But, social media is very accessible, easy to use, and information, trust-worthy or not, spread like wild fires. So here at Hacker Noon, we try to combine the good aspects of traditional journalism as well as the good of social media, making it accessible for everyone, anyone with a keyboard can publish on Hacker Noon as long as they have some kind of expertise on technology. But unlike social media where there's a big question mark about how verified information is  (for example, not until the 2016 election that Twitter started to realize the lack of fact-checking necessary for information circulating online), we go above and beyond. We don't think just put a tag on the fact is enough, there always needs to be another set of eyeballs to factcheck the information (what we call the at Hacker Noon). That human touch guarantees that an editor can always vet whether or not a submission is worth publishing. So to answer your initial question, to combat misinformation, we need accessibility as well as a good verification process. We try to do that at Hacker Noon instead of throwing a towel in traditional journalism or social media. Second Human Rule #fixtheinternet with Mozilla.

TLDR: See mozilla.org/builders for more details regarding our summer programs! Back in March, we put out our call for ideas to "fix-the-internet". 1500 of you showed up and well over a hundred projects are now underway. Now we're launching our v2: the Mozilla Builders Incubator. We're looking to invest in people, projects, and technologies that shape the internet and have a positive impact without having to only worry about the bottom line. People like you built Firefox. People like you will write the next amazing chapter of the internet. Mozilla Builders is dedicated to delivering on the promise of the internet, where the people are in control of how the internet is used to shape society and where business models should be sustainable and valuable, but do not need to squeeze every last dollar (or ounce of attention) from the user. For instance, we love initiatives that shift the balance of power from centralized forces back towards individuals, citizens and communities. Over the years and from our work building platforms like Firefox, Javascript, Rust, WebRTC, Web Assembly, and others, we have been developing a vision for a next internet that is imbued with these values and deployed across tomorrow's devices, networks, algorithms, and cloud platforms. We’re inviting you to join us with your ideas for how to bring this vision into the world. We are offering three programs: 1. Startup Studio: $75,000 investment, mentorship, workshops, and more! The Startup Studio is the place to cement the foundation of your startup and initial product traction. 2. MVP Lab: $16,000 award, mentorship, workshops, and more! The MVP Lab is to explore product concepts and, over the 8 weeks of the program, ship a minimum viable product that people want to use (we will measure usage during the program as a sign of viability) 3. Open Lab: Ten $10,000 prizes, office hours, workshops, and more! The Open Lab is for early exploratory work. Participate in the Open Lab to hack on an awesome project in a structured way, create community around your project and, if you want, get it ready for launch or even a company.

Mozilla Summer Startup Studio and MVP Lab

I've seen software developers in dozens of Slack channels, Telegram groups, and Discord servers pass this image around about Mozilla's Fix-The-Internet Incubator. I didn't really understand why people were so excited about an incubator for a web browser, but I ended up clicking the link anyway. My naivety was obliterated right away upon visiting . mozilla.org/builders Mozilla Builders is dedicated to delivering on the promise of the internet, where the people are in control of how the internet is used to shape society and where business models should be sustainable and valuable, but do not need to squeeze every last dollar (or ounce of attention) from the user. For instance, we love initiatives that shift the balance of power from centralized forces back towards individuals, citizens and communities. As one of the co-founders of , my mission the last 2-3 years has been to play a critical role in decentralization. Specifically, that is to pull the power of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning out of the hands of megacorps (centralized forces) and put it into the hands of the developer community. Only then can we see new creations unimaginable. There currently is very little incentive for large corporations to share the power they hold with the rest of the world. It is to their advantage to continue to hold that monopoly. Raven Protocol So why exactly am I excited about what Mozilla is doing? They are seeking a wide range of proposals around big categories including, but not limited to: , particularly in view of the current global crisis: (i) Foster better collaboration online, (ii) Grassroots collaboration around issues & emergencies, (iii) Local & neighborhood support networks, (iv) Supporting small businesses, (v) Social money-pooling for issues, people & businesses. Collaboration & Society build a new, decentralized architecture for the internet from infrastructure, communications, media & money, to using the blockchain and peer-to-peer technologies. This summer we are particularly interested in seeing proposals around how to make decentralized storage services a viable + reliable system for building applications upon. Decentralized Web: can we build a new way to communicate online that favors privacy, people, and users' interests? What needs to evolve? Messaging & Social Networking: whether it’s big tech or governments, everyone’s collecting your data. How do we put the user back in control of their data? Can we build new business models for messaging, social networking, news & information that don’t rely on excessive data minute and hijacking our attention? Surveillance Capitalism: ideas for services that help us get beyond polarization, filter bubbles and fake news. Misinformation & Content: that works to benefit communities and citizens. Artificial Intelligence 25 years of evolution and improvement, and the web’s "execution environment" - the Javascript engine in every browser - has now broken free as a remarkably fast, safe way to run ANY code. We’re interested in tools and platforms that leverage and build on Wasm as THE way to run applications connected to the internet. What’s the ecosystem missing today? What new things can be built with it that couldn’t be built before? Where can Wasm have the biggest impact? Web Assembly: For most people in the world, search is the gateway to news, shopping, information, and answers that shape the way they live their lives. These searches happen for billions of people from the search boxes in their browsers but also in new and exciting ways like getting a quick answer with your voice from a little screen in your kitchen. For the last 10 years the thought of building a new search experience was left to only the largest companies in the world but with the rise of privacy focused search engines such as DuckDuckGo, the panoply of vertical search engines, cloud platforms, and developer tools, there’s clear evidence that better search is possible. What will be the next major step in making the world’s information open, accessible, and credible for the next generation of users and devices? Search: Mozilla will literally fund you to fix the internet. They're currently accepting applications. Thousands and thousands of developers will be applying. These will be the next generation of ecosystem builders. Startup founders + product builders...We're taking apps for summer at Mozilla Builders with a $75K Startup Studio + $16K MVP Lab...Great mission, mentorship, structure, community to build your next thing. —Bijan Marashi, Studio Lead at Mozilla What these proposals mean for Mozilla and the future of the internet Do you see where Mozilla is going with this? If you understand, then you know where the world is going. Mozilla played a critical role in the growth and adoption of the internet starting in 1998. 22 years later, in 2020, the state of the internet is in despair. Our privacy has been stripped. Our data is sold. Large corporations are stealing our attention in the name of ad revenue. And what do users get? Supposedly a free service, but we are paying a heavy price with our freedom. This is why Mozilla, with some of the smartest people across different industries, is making a huge bet to develop an entirely new internet and surrounding ecosystems. The power will certainly be pulled from centralized forces and put into the hands of the community. We will see a renaissance of the internet and I am deeply excited for the next 22 years to come. What a time to be alive!
