To Whom it May Concern,I have updated my guide to configuring Firefox, which now moves a lot of manual labor into a policies.json file you can just put on your computer.

Thanks for this! I learned about a couple of browser extensions I didn't know about.
It'd be great if you could document the policies.json file somewhere (or point to a file where it's documented) so that people knew what it did and whether they might want to change it. You've been clear about what the other settings and extensions do and why someone might not want to apply some of them, but the policies file is a bit of a mystery and that makes me hesitate before applying it.
Workin on this!

To Whom it May Concern,
I have updated my guide to configuring Firefox, which now moves a lot of manual labor into apolicies.jsonfile you can just put on your computer. There are still some manual steps, but toil is greatly reduced. This is a big change from the do-every-step-by-hand approach previously used in this guide, and I would appreciate feedback.
Thank you for your time,
khmThanks, I'll check it out.

Thank you for your time,
khm@khm@hj.9fs.net is cookie autodelete still useful with 1st party isolation enabled by default?
on another note, i'm not familiar with policies.json, but does the "Status": "user" means param value is set only at profile creation and allow permanent change by user (against user.js that allow change only until FF is closed)? -
Workin on this!
Thank you!

@khm Ah! I see. Relatedly, I am looking for studies assessing the effect of traffic calming "road diets" and bike lanes on emergency vehicle response times. Know of such?

Thank you!

hey, I've got some notes up here:

hopefully this is helpful!

this is the only explicit study I'm aware of: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590198224001441
this report touches on it a bit: https://nacto.org/wp-content/uploads/safety_and_operation_analysis_lyles.pdf
I'm not aware of any actual evidence that bike lanes slow down emergency response times, but my experience is a little more hands-on and a little less academic

I've seen studies linked that purported to show the opposite; bike lanes => fewer cars on the road => faster response times
not to mention *gestures at Europe*
they get a lot wrong, buuut
