    Sharing release log is not all about what “I” find as interesting. It is rather a notification to all other users of the software that a list of new features or big fixes are now available.

    Not all of us are actively tracking release cycle of tools we use.

    Each of us have our own use cases. What I might find trivial, another person who frequent this forum might find really helpful.

    If you are not interested in the same software or not intended to use it or not using it currently, feel free to skip the post.



















  • Firefox relies on Google for its funding, so any browser based on Gecko relies on Google

    Google introduced Extension manifest v3 to effectively to kill/handicap AdBlock extensions.

    Mozilla, though getting funding from Google to make google its default search engine, officially decided to keep supporting Manifest v2.

    Adblockers are direct challenge to Alphabet’s ad revenue which is still their biggest cash cow.

    That speaks a valume about how much control google has on Mozilla decision making process.

    In general, for self-hosting, we hardly rely on remote service/server. The whole idea of self-hosting is to shun dependency on external service/server, and run everything on your own hardware and network. So that every aspect of the service is in your control. I don’t think self-hosting comes with much risk, unless you make your service available on Internet.
