• Control your data for good with Rally

  In a world where data and AI are reshaping society, people currently have no tangible way to put their data to work for the causes they believe in. To address this, we built the Rally platform, a first-of-its-kind tool that enables you to contribute your data to specific studies and exercise consent at a granular level. Mozilla Rally puts you in control of your data while building a better Internet and a better society. The post Control your data for good with Rally appeared first on Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog.

• Tab Unloading in Firefox 93

  Starting with Firefox 93, Firefox will monitor available system memory and, should it ever become so critically low that a crash is imminent, Firefox will respond by unloading memory-heavy but not actively used tabs. This feature is currently enabled on Windows and will be deployed later for macOS and Linux as well.The post Tab Unloading in Firefox 93 appeared first on Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog.

• Spring cleaning MDN: Part 2

  Last month we removed a bunch of content from MDN. MDN is 16 years old (and yes it can drink in some countries), all that time ago it was a great place for all of Mozilla to document all of their things. As MDN evolved and the web reference became our core content, other areas became less relevant to the overall site. We have ~11k active pages on MDN, so keeping them up to date is a big task and we feel our focus should be there.The post Spring cleaning MDN: Part 2 appeared first on Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog.
