Is there a similar option for the referrer?

And while I'm at it, is there a way to prevent a website from rewriting a url when I click on it? sites like Google and DuckDuckGo show the actual url in the href, but when you click it (or right click and copy it) it becomes something like http://example.com/something?url=encoded_real_url and I detest that.

Blocking the referrer in Firefox is easy, just go to about:config and search for the string 'network.http.sendRefererHeader' then modify it from the default 2 to a 0 (zero).

For the search links, I use this Add-on and it works perfectly: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-search...

This breaks some sites. None I use. I've read it is a problem for last.fm users because of some social chat thing they use I forget the name of. Anyway. I do this too, kind of. I use either refcontrol or smart referrer. I let sites have referrer on their domain but no 3rd parties by default and can add an exception if I want. You can test this at http://ip-check.info regardless if you're using Tor or not.

I haven't found the time to do it my self yet but will if someone doesn't beat me to porting Window Name Eraser to firefox from chrome. window.name is great for the site your visiting to use on their site. They have absolutely no business using it crossdomain, period. Not even if they own the other domain. There are legitimate ways to do that but they are too lazy, dumb, or opposed to using encryption.

I will allow a fucking cookie if I want to login or allow them to store or gather anything! No supercookies, no flash cookies, no evercookies. I use cookie monster, cookie culler, cookie self-destruct, and Cookie Controller that applies my regular cookie rules/disposition to DOM storage cookies as well.

Browsers, all of them, should behave and act the way they do after I make them go all green on ip-check.info.

In addition to that they have no fucking business knowing what the monitor resolution is. They ONLY need the canvas/inner window of the browser to render their damn site right. I will pull down videos and watch them offline without flash phoning home or to anyone else to give them anything to fingerprint my devices with.

They aren't entitled to this information and I'm against them having it. If I were like Carrie or the Twilight Zone kid who sends people into the Corn field and does other "fun" stuff they would have very good reason to be worried. >=/

I see the extension also works with duckduckgo. Thank you very much.

If I get a free burger with onions in it and I don't like onions, I won't eat the onions.

His location?

I'm pretty sure he has dozens of agents (both Russian and American) following him 24-7. That's the only way for him to stay alive and not be kidnapped by an "adversary" (e.g. China).

Running Google Hangouts through Tor would work well as it uses https by default. As long as he's using a throwaway Google account, it seems good to me.

So they already admitted it. Why is nobody doing anything about it? What's the next step after learning aliens exist?

Isn't the record for highest sky-dive? isn't height all that matters? is using a different parachute somehow not sky-diving?

> Isn't the record for highest sky-dive?

Yes, it isn't, because it's not a skydive with a drogue, it's canopy flight.

> isn't height all that matters?

Height of... skydive?

> is using a different parachute somehow not sky-diving?

Yes. Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (agency that confirms these world records) doesn't recognize it as a free-fall. And from my own experience -- yes, it's way different ;)

You have no idea about the technical challenges that come with a jump like this. Stop reducing it to "the parachute", "the team", "the suit". These are all important parts of the jump but you can't just do this stuff without the experience to control yourself.

The way you are talking, you probably think it's trivial to jump out of an airplane with a parachute. There is a lot more to skydiving than just jumping and deploying a parachute. There is a reason you need to do a lot of jumps before you can jump at high altitude, and this record-breaking jump is even harder than that.

There is a reason people who are knowledgable about skydiving are impressed by this jump (see the comments higher up on the page), and that's because they appreciate the challenges. You are unimpressed because you know very little about these challenges. This is okay if you keep your ignorance to yourself, but embarrassing otherwise.

GP was not only trivializing, but also begging the question.

All you need to solve the technical problem is the solution to that problem. Easy.

Be fair, the nerve to do the thing at all is significant. Not like a monkey in the Mercury capsule, who after all had no say in the deal, this guy could have 'bailed out' of the project at any time. He didn't. That means something.

I didn't notice the effect until I scrolled back up and saw a jerky movement in the buildings. Then tried scrolling back down and up not getting it to work until I noticed it moved with the mouse movement not the scrolling.

I would consider redesigning it.

Thanks, that's a very valid point!
