Re: email attachments in firefox
Well I think if this would be the case maybe chromium should be in the core OS image not in ports or Firefox removed from ports, right? But I don't think is the case. Chromium might have better architecture regarding security, but for many privacy is as important as security or maybe even more if what we are defending from are very hard to exploit vulnerabilities, that would need to target an OS OpenBSD which is not that widespread. Chromium as far as I know in the past from people that analysed it's traffic was making async calls to google DNS. Not sure if is longer the case, but if it wasn't maybe a project like Iridium wouldn't exist. https://github.com/iridium-browser/tracker/wiki/Differences-between-Iridium-and-Chromium Regards, --- Oriol Demaria Systems Administrator 2FFED630C16E4FF8 On 24/08/2020 13:50, Mihai Popescu wrote: But sometimes, the file selection will offer the content of /tmp and you have no way of making it something else.

If it is done similarly as in chromium, /tmp will also work in addition to ~/Downloads, as will directories symlinked to those. -- Luke Call "...[W]hen the wicked rule the people mourn.

I think *honesty*, the Constitution and the rule of law (as opposed to of individuals), are much more important, relatively, than most or all policy issues.

email attachments in firefox
I noticed that trying to load an attachment to Gmail in Firefox leads to a basically empty menu for selecting the file to be loaded? What gives? Is this something to do with pledge/unveil? Is there a way to do this? Dave Raymond -- David J. Raymond david.raym...@nmt.edu http://kestrel.nmt.edu/~raymond
