Hot Take:

Ah, the agony of procrastination! Firefox users, your favorite browser might just stage a coup d’Ă©tat on March 14th if you don’t get with the times and update it. Consider this your friendly reminder that the digital apocalypse is nigh, and it begins with expired certificates. So, update that browser, or brace yourself for a world without add-ons, DRM media, and possibly your sanity.

Key Points:

  • Firefox users must update their browsers to avoid issues with add-ons and DRM media starting March 14th.
  • The root certificate expiring affects only Firefox, not browsers like Chrome, Edge, or Safari.
  • Skipping the update can expose users to significant security risks.
  • Mozilla’s new Root Store Policy aims to enhance security by separating TLS and S/MIME certificates.
  • Firefox’s market share has significantly declined since its peak in 2009.

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
