    Firefox upgrades its anti-tracking features.

    The browser is now better at blocking “fingerprinters” that gather information about your system to ID you, even after clearing cookies or using private browsing. Mozilla says the improvements almost halve the number of Firefox users tracked by fingerprinting, preventing websites from obtaining details about hardware specifications, touchscreen support, and dock or taskbar dimensions.

    Tesla’s Cybertruck chief steps down.

    Siddhant Awasthi, who was also in charge of the Model 3 program, announced his departure on LinkedIn after three years overseeing the Cybertruck’s dismal rollout. A recent recall notice shows that just 63,619 have been sold in the US since its 2023 launch — far from the 250,000 annual sales that Elon Musk once predicted.

Papaya is currently tied up in a federal lawsuit over whether it used bots to control what were advertised as skill-based games.

    Is gold your type?

    For employees at Insta360, that would be a very literal question. The Chinese camera company recently gave 21 staffers a bonus in the form of gold keycaps, the heaviest being the space key, which South China Morning Post reports weighs 35.02 grams and is valued at $45,000.
