from the I-can-recommend-them-something:-don't dept.

If location and notification nags aren't enough, how about some extension alerts in your browser?

Mozilla tests a new feature in Firefox Nightly at the moment that suggests extensions to users when they visit certain sites on the Internet.

The recommendation feature is turned off by default and needs to be enabled at this point. Extensions may increase the user experience on sites they are designed for, for example by blocking advertisement, enhancing search functionality, or improving privacy.

Firefox users who have used the Nightly version of the web browser for years may remember that Mozilla ran a Test Pilot Study four years ago that displayed extension recommendations to users as well. The study recommended extensions and features of Firefox to the user but it never made it into the web browser and was moved to the graveyard as a consequence.

    To what purpose?
    That's just effing marvelous, first you strangle the revenue and tell everyone "do more with less" and when they do, you keep strangling and strangling until it crooks over and then you go "see, we told you they aren't able to do their job".
    All you "taxes are theft" folks need to take a good look at yourself and consider very carefully the world you'd like to live in and the consequences thereof. I recon you are thinking a bit too highly of yourself in terms of survival because you have one or more pew-pew sticks.

    Federal revenue would come from tariffs. States and municipalities are free to provide whatever services funded by their own taxes?
