@david_ross and @gemlog contributed to @tindall 's "Locking Down Firefox" article. I did nearly everything suggested here for my #Firefox #browser since. https://leotindall.com/tutorial/locking-down-firefox/ #hardening #privatebrowsing
@cosullivan @david_ross thanks christina. I'd forgotten to install a couple of those when I moved back to ff from palemoon last week. And I never did have the random user agent one. Good stuff! Just my font list is a dead give away.
@gemlog Jeez, mine too. I thought I went on a font download rampage but can't find the .zip files now...
@cosullivan I have a file with like 6,800 ttf fonts. I wrote a robot nearly 20 years ago for a little girl. Made her very happy! :-)
@cosullivan OK, more like 14-15 years ago...

@xmanmonk
I have more even...
@cosullivan @gemlog Having worked in print shops as a kid and doing lots of typesetting, etc., I have a lust for fonts.
@xmanmonk My parents had a home business. I developed strong opinions of serif vs. sans serif (I like serif) gemlog@mastodonten.de
@cosullivan @xmanmonk Always exceptions to everything, but the most basic rule I know is serif for body text as it is easier to read and sans-serif for headlines and titles.
The web and microsoft do not follow that advice, obviously.
@gemlog @cosullivan No one follows rules :)
@gemlog @cosullivan I do. The biggest fight I ever had with a publisher was over fonts. I insisted on them using an open-source font that I had. I even had written permission of the designer to use it. I finally won :) The second biggest fight was over the title.
@cosullivan @xmanmonk Have a look through the archive I posted to you guys. With so many I'm SURE you'd find a close match.
@cosullivan @gemlog Ooh, those would be cool.
@xmanmonk @gemlog "The Good Bad Man" font, written about in The Atlantic https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2014/07/a-font-that-speaks-for-silent-film/374197/
@xmanmonk @cosullivan xmanmonk: ignores type setting rules. A true rebel!!
