Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog's posts on Firefox privacy, such as "Firefox and the illusion of privacy". One comment cites that post while suggesting a Firefox setting to disable WebSockets, which a site was using to port scan visitors.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
The ongoing challenge of using free/libre software.
