  • 1 or 3; maybe 4.

    With several assumptions made, ultimately, they’re asking for json, and we should still return json, but what that looks like is up to you. It should be static enough that the person on the other end can write:

    If json.grtnode(error) == "unauthorized access"
    Do stuff
    

    Ifnyour going to be changing the text with some regularity to contain relevant information for the error (eg, an item ID, that is now invalid), then consider a code/text and additional fields.


  • I mean, that argument starts to wade in to the Mozilla foundation as a whole, and what their purpose is, and that’s a giant kettle of fish.

    Theoretical game. They lowball Google on how much Google pays them. How do people react? I don’t see them doing that and say, “Man, I’m glad Firefox is reducing Google’s influence over them”. I see them making a thread about how Firefox is giving Google a discounted rate because they’re all corrupt technofacists.

    The core problem there still exists IMO. Funding.

    What we really need is a reasonable way for open source, free, software, that exists for the good of the whole, to get money. But that has it’s own kettle of fish, where does it come from, how big is big enough to get some, what if they charge for support, how open is open enough.

    Something something, seize the means of production, communism, etc.









  • Mozilla and Firefox opposed this change. How much impact this has on if you if you use Firefox is yet to be seen.

    If this change goes in, and has wide spread use, then Firefox won’t work with those websites, and you will be impacted. If this change goes in, but enough people use Firefox, then you won’t be impacted.

    As for what this change does: Its a little murky, but the short version is it allows for a remote web server to verify if you have messed with the local version. This could be as simple as preventing Ad block from working, as useful as ensuring it’s not a bot interacting with your website, or as idiotic as breaking all accessibility tools.

    TL;DR; Use Firefox.
