Then this stuff doesn't happen. I never had any "tracking" stuff happen on Solus/Forum. But I use those tools, so there is that.

When I see screenshots with like 7000 trackers blocked since september 2018. I've 1,193 trackers blocked since September 8, 2019. Like not even 100 in the last 7 days. I also question myself, where do people surf around nowadays?

    Harvey What you said about noscript and foxy is right on. I think the message was truncated if not kust false.
    FF warning gave the name of Solus at the top, claimed it was blocking one social media tracker at this site, lured me to another dropdown with an arrow, and revealed it was Twitter.
    Per your thoughts: very likely extension fubar in that instant.
    PS--nice duckduck demo

      Never been tracked at Solus until last night. But I believe I received the message in error. I could not screen capture the message with default gnome-screenshot because anytime I moved screenshot, the FF message crawled back up. (It would of been a good idea to cut and paste all those shortcut commands you see in screenshot threads, but I never did).

      Like you said, I set it strict, and the extensions rarely alert me about anything.
      As for "where do people surf around nowadays?"--I wonder too but don't really want to know...

        It could simply be a forum post that contains an embedded social media content like a youtube video, a reddit post, or in this case something that contains a twitter tracker.

          Thanks for believing me, if that's what you are doing.
          This is Occam's and the most likely.
          Not fake as I could tell.
          Solved.

              We're not tracking you. And we can''t control whether people embed something like Youtube or a post from Facebook, Reddit, and whether or not those services insert tracking. Sure, Flarum could probably do something with making sure iframes are more heavily utilized for embedding and Youtube being used in private mode during embeds, but Firefox is still likely going to claim the tracking is on our Flarum.

                JoshStrobl I re-read all my words. I stayed on point. I never accused Solus of anything. Never accused Flarum of anything.
                Just asking about a browser warning.

                You have a brand to protect and I TOTALLY respect that, but I've never attacked it, past or present. I know you get your fiery cranks. But I'm not one of them.

                I've had FF at a strict SM setting for quite a while. My first warning was here. Not a big deal: it was blocked.
                It was interesting to observe, but I simply reported what I observed. I get that Solus has little to nothing to do with it. I got that from the beginning without even asking.
                Nothing more, nothing less, nothing fake, nothing sinister.
                c'est la vie., I regret reporting it now.
                Maxing out the browser security settings has consequences. I never said anyone but the user (me) was involved.

                    brent I re-read all my words. I stayed on point. I never accused Solus of anything. Never accused Flarum of anything.

                    I never claimed you didn't stay on point or that you accused Solus of anything? Not sure why you're getting defensive.

                        JoshStrobl To be completely honest Josh, I guess I'm defensive from the fake news tag I got when I was being clear about what happened to me. I don't have the technical prowess to retort to anything, so I acquiesce.
                        I joined an online club that tinkers with car engines and solus. "defensive" means a day of sore feelings if not a minute🙂
                        edit:typo

                            brent You have to understand that we need to treat these kinds of claims with extreme responses. It's not personal. We are humans to and make mistakes (I'll leave that unintentional typo in). What we can't have, though, is people thinking that we are doing things we aren't. Especially bad things. Fake News is a tag that specifically exists to quickly and concisely make it clear, before even opening the post, that what is being represented by the author is not true. We almost exclusively use it for security and privacy claims about Solus and its services that are false.

                                brent Just letting you know that I saw this exact same message from Firefox about Twitter and I,
                                like you, don't have a Twitter account. I figured that since Firefox had been updated recently that it was just
                                a cute and annoying little stunt to let me know how improved and safe the browser is now so I just ignored
                                it (lucky me!) and moved on. I'm mentioning this to you because I have my tracking settings on standard
                                instead of strict and it still happened. I've just written it off as a one time nuisance from Firefox as I haven't
                                seen anything like it since.

                                    DataDrake I saw a browser warning, you see a privacy claim. It can absolutely be seen both ways, I understand. Thanks for the clarity.

                                      ryzee I've just written it off as a one time nuisance from Firefox as I haven't
                                      seen anything like it since.

                                      I wrote it off as the same.
                                      Appreciate that you've seen it and appreciate the response. I, too, believe this is was a FF one-time nuisance.

                                        @ryzee @brent so you guys consider privacy as a nuisance ?
                                        Because what you're complaining about the new enhanced tracking protection tool from mozilla and it's automatically open the first time you run firefox 70.0 show the new functionality, configure your privacy settings... it looks like they failed to create awareness.

                                        If I really want privacy I use anon surf (or other tools). Firefox by itself isn't going to give you privacy.

                                        Nobody said privacy is a nuisance. Pop ups from Mozilla are a nuisance. Yes.

                                        Having the FF protection is a blessing not a nuisance.Inquiring about what that specific protection warning was about? Wish I could've avoided it.

                                        I think we can all agree that this discussion thread has gone down the rabbit hole a bit too far. It seems quite clear to me that users in this thread are (now) educated on this functionality in Firefox that is now more front and center than in previous Firefox releases, as well as hopefully reaching the conclusion that:

                                        1. Solus does not track its users or run any form of analytics on our web properties (we obviously do not control Youtube, Reddit, Twitter, etc.).
                                        2. Any cookies not related to the authentication against our discussion forums, or other information on any discussion threads on our Flarum, are solely the result of media or other forms of content embedding from platforms which do not share our views on analytics or privacy.
                                        3. Firefox may surface new functionality to the user that has been added to the browser in a new release in an attempt to educate the user on said new functionality, and the surfacing of that functionality is not necessarily indicative that it was surfaced because of a specific website.

                                        Now here is a gif of a cute kitty booping a doggo's nose to balance things out.
