Sounds like a great idea, let's all paste our bank passwords in this website!

Banks have peculiar ideas about security sometimes, I don't think this partial password business will have a net positive effect (especially if people use "solutions" like these and potentially send their password to a third party)

This seems a bit clickbait-y and low quality for HN
It's not open source, it's source-available, which is almost irrelevant in terms of openness and freedom

Zero-rating is a terrible thing that helps stifle the free market and consolidate monopolies. It is also of questionable legality.
Re:How Firefox Got Fast Again on Monday November 13, 2017 @11:05AM (#15687419)
One extension I don't find a replacement for is Hide caption titlebar plus. It makes it so there's a permanent title bar even when Firefox is maximized. I had to change an xfce setting to hide the title bar when a window is maximized, meaning I lose the title bar for every application... Not ideal. Does anyone know if there is an argument to launch firefox without a title bar? Or set it in xfce for only one application?
