It was a really poorly made decision, and won't solve anything, as for Mozilla, they will probably get paid by Microsoft to make Bing the default in Firefox, or slowly go bankrupt, and leave the Gecko engine to the community which won't have enough capacity to compete with Google (or if they will be forced to sell Chrome and step down from the Chromium project, it will likely be Microsoft, to maybe kill off Chrome like they did with Skype and Atom, and take control of Chromium), Firefox and its forks will be the next Internet Explorers...)<br>("Gecko powers Firefox (and other independent browsers) and puts privacy and people first." - nah, unfortunately Firefox is pretty far from a privacy-respecting browser nowadays. A real privacy browser should be private without any manual hardening. But it needs to stay alive because it's the base for some real privacy browsers like LibreWolf.)<br>(There's quite a lot of aspect of this whole Google thing, maybe it deserves a separate post.)</p><p>Proton Pass now has the option to attach files to cards, logins, notes and identity items:<br><a href="https://alternativeto.net/news/2025/4/proton-pass-introduces-file-attachment-feature/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">alternativeto.net/news/2025/4/</span><span class="invisible">proton-pass-introduces-file-attachment-feature/</span></a></p><p>Tor Browser 14.5 released with Connection Assist on Android for users in restricted regions, redesigned logs on desktop etc.:<br><a href="https://alternativeto.net/news/2025/4/tor-browser-14-5-brings-connection-assist-to-android-support-for-new-languages-and-more/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">alternativeto.net/news/2025/4/</span><span class="invisible">tor-browser-14-5-brings-connection-assist-to-android-support-for-new-languages-and-more/</span></a></p><p>VirtualBox 7.1.8 released with initial support for Linux kernel 6.14 in Guest Additions, bug fixes:<br><a href="https://9to5linux.com/virtualbox-7-1-8-released-with-initial-support-for-linux-kernel-6-14" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">9to5linux.com/virtualbox-7-1-8</span><span class="invisible">-released-with-initial-support-for-linux-kernel-6-14</span></a></p><p>Forgejo v11.0 released with overview of quotas in the user interface, ability to regenerate access tokens, indication if a pull request is editable, additional boolean operators when searching with an indexer etc.:<br><a href="https://alternativeto.net/news/2025/4/self-hosted-forge-software-forgejo-releases-v11-0-with-new-features-and-enhancements/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">alternativeto.net/news/2025/4/</span><span class="invisible">self-hosted-forge-software-forgejo-releases-v11-0-with-new-features-and-enhancements/</span></a></p><p>(Linux news in original post)</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/OpenSourceNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSourceNews</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/FOSSNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FOSSNews</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mozilla</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/TorBrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TorBrowser</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/VirtualBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VirtualBox</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/FosseryTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FosseryTech</span></a></p>
