To be honest I never thought of that and this looks like exactly what I need. Do you know if it works with subdomains, so if I add example.com to exceptions will it also store cookies from subdomain.example.com ? However I'm not sure if cookies are being stored by a subdomain or the main domain for some sites, for example there are sites that host user's blog at user.website.com .

Also I wish there was a button in address bar or somewhere else to simply click and "Add an exception to allow storing cache and cookies".

UPD: Press Alt, go to Tools -> Page info (or press Ctril+I) -> Permissions, there is a button to Allow Set Cookies there.

Thank you very much, I never noticed such a setting!

Can you tell me more about where do I disable cookies and add exceptions for sites which I do want to store cookies? Does this also remove data other than cookeis (cache, local storage etc.)?

[–] vort3@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Can you please link me to a guide or something, how do I configure firefox to use containers automatically? I guess I want two containers, for the sites I trust just one "regular" container and open everything else (except a few whitelisted sites) in a "throwaway" container that I can remove and create again to get rid of all local data. How do I "whitelist" a few sites to open in container 1 and configure firefox to open everything else in container 2?

UPD: https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/462

So 8 years passed and still no possibility to set default container for Ctrl + T or "+" on tab bar in UI....

[–] vort3@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And why don’t you configure your Browser so that all data and caches are deleted when you close the browser?

Doesn't it also close all tabs on close and remove all history? Can I add exceptions to this? So that tabs stay the same after a restart, and few sites (like mastodon) keep their cookies, but everything that is not whitelisted gets the data cleaned.

[–] vort3@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

No, I'm not looking for Tor.

[–] vort3@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Thank you. Maybe there's some extension to quickly destroy site data (cache, local storage, cookies, history entries) when closing tabs? Like a second button next to "close tab" that says "destroy site data and close tab".

[–] vort3@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

When I have a firefox running, can I launch the second firefox instance with a different profile without closing my first firefox instance?

[–] vort3@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

The only issue with that is that I need to manage 2 browsers I guess (install two sets of extensions, to two sets of about:config changes, change new options in settings twice etc.). Thank you for suggestion.

[–] vort3@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Thank you for your advice.

Basically I want each tab to be unable to track me on other tabs, so tab isolation. Does firefox to this in normal containers?

Hello everyone.

This is a "need help" or "ELI5" post, hope anyone can be nice and explain me.

So, one thing about Firefox (and web browsing in general) I do is, I use private browsing mode, almost all the time. I have a "normal" firefox window with a few tabs I use daily, and a second firefox window which is in private browsing. I use it to just do everything else: dive into rabbit holes, open links, do a web search, watch a youtube video etc.

I do it mainly for privacy reasons, I don't want websites to track me, fingerprint me etc. I also don't want to store any cookies and stuff.

I'm mostly satisfied with the workflow I have, but the one problem is that sometimes firefox will update and ask for a restart, or maybe crash, or maybe I need to reboot my laptop or it will get discharge and turn off, then I lose all of my open tabs. Sometimes I can copy the URLs of tabs I want to keep, and open them again after a restart, sometimes I can't. I'm mostly ok with starting fresh, however sometimes I'm a bit sad about losing the tabs I liked or did not finish reading.

I think my "always open everything in private mode" workflow makes more problems than it solves. The thing is, I do not understand how normal mode behaves when compared to private browsing mode. I know there's "Enhanced Protection" and "Total Protection" modes in settings, but how do they work compared to private browsing? Also there's a button to clear cookies, but there's many other things other than cookies, such as session storage, indexed DB storage, cache etc. When I use private browsing, I 100% know everything about the site I had open gets destroyed. This means if I open a youtube and watch a minecraft video, I won't get full home page of minecraft video recommendations next time I open youtibe again, if I use private browsing mode.

Can I achieve this without private browsing? I think I can use a container, but in this case I would basically want every single tab I open be in a separate container, and this is way too much work to do manually. Also I would want containers to be destroyed after I close the tab.

(The only exception to every tab being in their own container is when I open a link to the same domain from withing a container, for example if I go from reddit homepage in a "temporary reddit container" to a reddit post in a new tab, I would want that post tab be in the same container)

I know there exists an extension called temporary containers, but last time I tried it, I think it had some weird behaviors: IIRC after a browser restart every tab that was open in a temporary container, got reopened outside of containers (so my browser became "dirty" with all the cookies and cache and etc. of every tab I had open in temporary containers previously).

I've heard somewhere (probably reddit Firefox sub) that either enhanced or total protection mode basically do what I want: they make every domain/subdomain to be isolated and behave as if each site had it's own container. Is that true? Then the only thing I would need is a way to destroy site data when there's no open tabs that use said data.

TL:DR; How do I make all randomly open tabs in my browser to not keep their data (cookies, cache, other local stored data) after I close the tab as if I was opening them in private mode? Not being kept in browsing history would also be nice, but that I can clean manually from time to time.

Can you set up docker in a way that it does not mess with my firewall?

[–] vort3@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You see, this is an issue for me because I don't want my ports "automagically" being open, I want to know exactly which ports are in use and by which apps, I don't want package manager to manage my ports. I know this sounds "old school" but I prefer to control my ports manually and I don't want my iptables rules be a mess I can't understand.

Maybe that's more of a "me" issue than a docker issue, but anyway, I prefer to not use such software.

 

Hello everyone.

It's been quite some time since I installed Linux alongside Windows, and recently I mostly just use Linux.

I made a mistake when partitioning my drive, multiple times. I tried dualboot on my previous machines in past and time and time again the same happens: I think "well linux is lightweight" and give it like a 50 GB partition, then realize it's not enough.

I think I managed to shrink my windows partition and grow my linux root partition once, however I don't remember how I did that exactly.

Now I'm thinking of a way to backup my windows partition and move it to an external USB drive, to reformat it for linux use, but still be able to boot into windows, maybe via VM? Is it doable?

My current partitions:

nvme0n1     259:0    0 476.9G  0 disk               # the only drive in my laptop
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1    0     1G  0 part /boot         # I think this is an "UEFI" partition, not sure if I can touch it in any way
├─nvme0n1p2 259:2    0    16M  0 part               # This is "Microsoft reserved partition", it was automatically created by windows during installation, not sure if I can touch this
├─nvme0n1p3 259:3    0 129.4G  0 part /mnt/windows10    # my "C:\" partition with windows, ntfs, I want this to run in a VM or be bootable from external drive
├─nvme0n1p5 259:4    0    50G  0 part /             # My archlinux partition, ext4
├─nvme0n1p6 259:5    0  14.4G  0 part               # "WINDRIVER" partition, ntfs, I think it was there when I bought the laptop, not sure if can be touched in any way
└─nvme0n1p7 259:6    0 282.1G  0 part /mnt/games    # btrfs partition for data shared between windows and linux, here's my steam library with games, btrfs because it's well supported by linux and windows (with a third party driver)

What I ideally want:

  • Probably UEFI partition
  • 130 GB partition for archlinux, probably this should be ext4
  • 280 GB partition for non-system data (movies, music etc), probably btrfs
  • 50 GB partition for /home, probably btrfs as well
  • Windows 10 as a bootable live USB or virtual drive that can be run in a VM stored on external USB stick

What are my options?

Is it possible to backup windows partition in way that it can later be run in a VM or being booted from external drive? Can I just format that partition into ext4, move my / partition files to the new partition and use it as my new root partition? I hope it won't break file permissions and stuff and "just work".

What can I do safely to get rid of windows on my drive, but still keep the working system somewhere else in case I need the software (you know, adobe, corel, MS office etc.)?

I'm not good with most of these things (partitions, can they be safely resized or moved around, backed up and restored, what's UEFI partition etc.).

Before you say "just make a backup and do whatever you want", I understand that this is what I should ideally be doing, but unfortunately I don't have multiple huge drives just laying around, I only have 1 external SSD which does not have too much free space, so I'd like to find some optimal way to achieve this without having to buy terabytes of additional storage.

 

This question probably relates to DeltaChat itself and not ArcaneChat specifically, but why not, I use Arcane so decided to just ask here.

This post is probably just general questions, but I couldn't think of a better title, sorry.

So, my only issue with Delta/Arcane is the same as with most modern software: I lack basic understanding. I know how to use it, it tries to be very user friendly and everything "just works", so there's no need to really know much about the app, as long as you don't need something that doesn't work as you want. Once this happens, you realize you just have no idea of how it works.

My current understanding is that Delta/Arcane are some kind of email clients (like thunderbird) but with a focus on chatting (so you don't have features like folder management, but instead have a nice to use conversation UI instead). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

When I test the app, for example install it to two devices and send a message from one to another, it works: a new chat appears with the message. It can also be seen as a regular email if you also use an email client, like thunderbird. I think it always lands in "INBOX/DeltaChat" folder. I'm not sure how this happens, does DeltaChat monitor for new emails and moves them into that folder, or there's somehow a way to include "this mail should land in this folder" instruction so that mail server itself does this.

However when someone sends me a "regular" email, for example from thunderbird (and not through DeltaChat) it comes as a regular email in my INBOX folder and of course I don't see it as a chat in my ArcaneChat app.

If we truly treat Delta/Arcane as a universal IM replacement, for example if I want to uninstall every IM (whatsapp, telegram) from my devices and when someone wants to contact me, I want to just give them my email and ask to send an email, if I don't want to be explaining them what DeltaChat is, I expect such emails to appear in my ArcaneChat app. How would I achieve this? Is there a way to manage what appears as a chat and what doesn't? I guess I wouldn't ask those questions if I understood the mechanism behind it: how DeltaChat messages are different from regular emails, how do they appear in DeltaChat folder etc.

Please, I need some understanding and not just "press this button" type of instructions.

 
 
 

Kez was getting banned in almost every game so here are my results of too much testing in demo mode. This is a deep dive into the intricate mechanics of what might be Valve's most complex hero in recent years.

DISCLAIMER: This is not a guide on how to play him, this is just a (hopefully) exhaustive list of interactions surrounding the bird man.



[Katana Stance]

Echo Slash (Q)

Slashes forward in the direction Kez is currently facing, slashing all enemies in the area twice for 70/80/90/100% of total damage each, plus 30/45/60/75 if the target is a hero

  • Pierces evasion
  • Skill has no targeting, immediately dashes forward once cast
  • Second slash has a 1.2s delay
  • Applies a 100% slow for 0.25s on each slash
  • Creates 12 overlapping circular zones of 200 radius in front of Kez, spaced 200/3 units apart. The first circle's center is directly in front of Kez's starting position. [credit Iris_mus]
    • Thus the backward reach (range where units behind Kez can be affected) is 200/3 + 200/3 = 133 units [credit Iris_mus]
    • Although "cast range" is 800, can affect units up to 1000 units away
    • Cannot attack wards.
    • Destroys trees in the slash area.
  • Damage: Physical*, so damage can be affected by ethereal form, physical barrier and armor.
    • Affected by damage block (Vanguard, Crimson Guard)
    • Affected by attack damage reduction (Frost Shield, Bulwark)
    • Affected by damage return (Blademail, Spiked carapace)
  • Kez also dashes forward 250 units, passing through terrain
    • Does not disjoint projectiles
    • Can be used to escape impassable terrain from hero abilities (Arena of Blood, Kinetic Field/Fence)
    • If timed correctly, can be used to override displacement spells (X Marks the Spot, Glimpse [credit Psychological-Leg413], Nether Strike)
      • Will still apply damage and additional effects, just not the repositioning
  • If Kez's attack damage increases or decreases before the second slash (e.g Armlet toggling) the damage is updated accordingly
  • Cast range manipulation: Aether lens (and similar items) will not increase slash range, and skills like Enfeeble and Warp Flare will not decrease it
  • AoE manipulation: Bloodstone will not increase slash width/AoE
  • Stun: Will still slash even if Kez is stunned
  • Root: Can be cast while rooted, but will not dash forward
    • Still slashes units up to 1000 units away
  • Leash: Can be cast while leashed
    • Can be used to escape from Pounce, Soulbind and Sprout (Level 20)
  • Disarm: Can still be casted and apply damage even if Kez is disarmed or in ethereal form.
  • Lifesteal: Yes
  • Spell Lifesteal: No
  • Dispel: The slow can be removed via basic dispel.
  • Debuff Immunity: The damage will still apply, but will not slow
  • Courier: Can damage couriers [credit etrimmer and GGero]
Ability Interactions:
  • Kazurai Katana: Each slash will add katana stacks
  • Falcon Rush [Sai]: a secondary attack will be performed on all affected targets from both slashes
  • Mark [Sai]: Fully applies the critical damage and stun
Item Interactions:
  • Critical Strike: Yes
  • Armor reduction: Yes
  • Cleave: Yes
  • Pierce (from Javelin, Monkey King Bar): Yes
  • Mage Slayer: Yes
  • Soul Rend (from Bloodthorn): Yes
  • Mana burn (from Diffusal Blade, Disperser): burns the full amount of mana on each slash
  • Skull Basher: only 1 unit will be affected due to internal cooldown (2.3s)
  • Witch Blade: the closest unit will be affected
  • Echo Saber: applies the slow on all units (although a bit redundant), does not put it on cooldown
  • Chain Lightning (from Maelstrom, Mjollnir, Gleipnir): only 1 unit will be affected due to internal cooldown (0.2s)
  • *Revenant's Brooch: Damage dealt becomes magical, and costs no additional mana (although it can't crit)
  • Silver Edge: if used after casting Echo Slash, the bonus damage and break will apply to the closest target in front of Kez. If this happens, Kez breaks invisibility.
Neutral Item Interactions
  • Hound (from Lance of Pursuit): Yes
  • Magic Amp (from Grove Bow) and Magic Corruption (from Parasma): Yes
  • Afterburn (from Dragon Scale): Yes
  • Glassify (from Nemesis Curse): the farthest unit will be affected
  • Silence Strike (from Mind Breaker): the closest unit will be affected
  • Certain Strike (from Enchanted Quiver): the closest unit will be affected

Grappling Claw (W)

Grapples onto an enemy unit or tree. If the target is an enemy, it is slowed by 80% until it finishes. After which, Kez attacks the unit with 100% lifesteal. If it is a hero, Kez attacks with 150/200/250/300% lifesteal.

  • Cast range: 700/800/900/1000
  • Pierces evasion
  • Damage: Physical*, so damage can be affected by ethereal form, physical barrier and armor.
    • Affected by damage block (Vanguard, Crimson Guard)
    • Affected by attack damage reduction (Frost Shield, Bulwark)
    • Affected by damage return (Blademail, Spiked carapace)
  • Unit (or tree) targeted
    • Does not destroy trees along the grappling path, only destroys the tree Kez lands on. [credit The_Fritzle]
  • Can be interrupted via forced movement (e.g. Blinding Light, Flamebreak)
  • Can be used to escape some impassable terrain from hero abilities (Fissure, Kinetic Field/Fence)
    • Cannot be used to escape Arena of Blood, but can be used to go in the arena
  • Can be disjointed if target blinks or becomes hidden before the claw latches. If done successfully, Kez will not travel and the spell is put on cooldown.
    • If target blinks after the claw latches, the damage is still applied but Kez will not follow the target and will just grapple to the original destination.
    • If target is hidden after the claw latches, Kez will travel to the target but will not deal damage.
  • Spell Block (from Linken's Sphere): will proc when the claw latches and Kez will not travel. Will not proc if disjointed.
  • Echo Shell (from Lotus Orb): target will also cast Grappling Claw on Kez after latching. They end up in a spot in between but closer to the target (due to the delay in casting).
    • If target blinks after latching while having spell block and echo shell, Kez will stay in place, and the target will blink to their destination before grappling to Kez.
  • Cast range manipulation: Aether lens (and similar items) will increase cast range, and skills like Enfeeble and Warp Flare will decrease it
    • Bloodstone has no effect
  • Stun: Will still latch, travel and attack the target even if Kez is stunned
  • Root/Leash: Cannot be cast while rooted or leashed
  • Disarm: Can still be casted and apply damage even if Kez is disarmed or in ethereal form.
  • Lifesteal: Yes
  • Spell Lifesteal: No
  • Dispel: The slow can be removed via basic dispel.
  • Debuff Immunity: The damage will still apply, but will not slow.
Ability Interactions:
  • Kazurai Katana: The lifesteal attack will add katana stacks
  • Falcon Rush [Sai]: a secondary attack will occur if Kez successfully arrives to the target (not interrupted), will not lifesteal
  • Mark [Sai]: will fully crit and stun if the attack lands
    • Additionally, if Kez switches to Sai before latching to the target, the succeeding attack can mark (17%)
Item Interactions:
  • Critical Strike: Yes
  • Armor reduction: Yes
  • Cleave: Yes
  • Pierce (from Javelin, Monkey King Bar): Yes
  • Chain Lightning (from Maelstrom, Mjollnir, Gleipnir): Yes
  • Empower Spell (from Phylactery, Khanda): Yes
  • Mage Slayer: Yes
  • Soul Rend (from Bloodthorn): Yes
  • Mana burn (from Diffusal Blade, Disperser): Yes
  • Skull Basher: Yes
  • Witch Blade: Yes
  • Echo Saber: applies the slow on arrival and does not put it on cooldown
  • *Revenant's Brooch: Still does not cost mana, and can't crit
    • It will still heal Kez (via lifesteal, not spell lifesteal)
Neutral Item Interactions
  • Hound (from Lance of Pursuit): Yes
  • Magic Amp (from Grove Bow) and Magic Corruption (from Parasma): Yes
  • Afterburn (from Dragon Scale): Yes
  • Glassify (from Nemesis Curse): Yes
  • Silence Strike (from Mind Breaker): Yes
  • Certain Strike (from Enchanted Quiver): Yes

Kazurai Katana (E)

Katana normal attacks and abilities deal a stacking damage over time and applies 20/25/30/35% regen reduction.

  • Only affects HP regeneration, does not reduce healing or lifesteal.
  • Damage calculation is as follows:
    1. Whenever Kez deals damage from his katana attacks/abilities, target gains stacks equal to 35/48/63/80% of the damage dealt before reductions.
      • Does not add stacks from proc damage (chain lightning, mana burn, etc.)
      • 1 stack will deal 1 additional damage (if the target gains 500 stacks, spell will deal 500 damage before reductions over its duration)
    2. After 1 second, apply 1/n of the damage (where n is 5/6/7/8) once per second over n seconds - Reduce stacks by damage dealt
    3. If new katana damage is applied to the target, go back to (1) and duration is refreshed
      • Example: Kez deals 1000 attack damage to target, level 4 Katana will give 800 stacks, then deal 800/8 (100) damage per second for 8 seconds. After 1 second, 100 damage is dealt, 100 stacks is consumed. Then, if Kez deals 100 more damage, Katana will give 80 stacks, totaling 780 damage. Katana will now deal 780/8 (97.5) damage per second over 8 seconds.
  • Damage: Physical*, so damage can be affected by ethereal form, physical barrier and armor.
    • Not affected by damage block (Vanguard, Crimson Guard).
    • Not affected by attack damage reduction (Frost Shield, Bulwark)
    • Affected by damage return (Blademail, Spiked carapace).
  • Lifesteal: No
  • Spell Lifesteal: Yes
  • Illusions: Illusions apply their own independent katana stacks (albeit with reduced damage).
  • Dispel: Stacks can be completely removed via basic dispel.

Ability Interactions:
  • Echo Slash: Applies katana stacks from each slash
  • Grappling Claw: Applies katana stacks on successful hit
  • Raptor Dance: Applies katana stacks from each slash
  • Falcon Rush [Sai]: Secondary attacks can apply katana stacks
  • Talon Toss [Sai]: N/A

    • Affected by damage block (Vanguard, Crimson Guard).
    • Affected by attack damage reduction (Frost Shield, Bulwark)
    • Affected by damage return (Blademail, Spiked carapace).

[Sai Stance]

Falcon Rush (Q)

For 7 (+2 with talent) seconds, Kez has phased movement and can rush to targets within 600 range, at 1000 speed. Whenever Kez attacks, an untargetable afterimage of Kez will attack a second time.

  • During Falcon Rush, Sai has a BAT of 1.2/1.1/1/0.9 while Katana has a BAT of 1.3/1.2/1.1/1
    • Attack interval calculation: BAT - AttackSpeed*AttackSpeedFactor/100 where AttackSpeedFactor = 6/7/8/9%.
    • At 700 Attack Speed, Max Level Attack Interval is 0.9-(700*0.09/100)=0.27s in Sai and 1 -(700*0.09/100)=0.37s in Katana.
  • While rushing, Kez cannot be slowed.
  • Secondary attacks can miss through evasion or by high ground (if Kez is on low ground [credit SleepyDG] when secondary attack hits)
  • Damage: Physical*, so damage can be affected by ethereal form, physical barrier and armor.
    • Affected by damage block (Vanguard, Crimson Guard).
    • Affected by attack damage reduction (Frost Shield, Bulwark)
    • Affected by damage return (Blademail, Spiked carapace).
  • Lifesteal: Afterimage attack can lifesteal
  • Spell Lifesteal: No
  • Illusions: Illusions do not have the secondary attack nor the rush.
  • Dispel: Falcon Rush can be dispelled.
  • Debuff Immunity: Fully affects units with debuff immunity
  • Courier: The afterimage can attack the courier (Only plausible with Marci on enemy team)
Ability Interactions:
  • Echo Slash [Katana]: a secondary attack will be performed on all affected targets from both slashes
  • Grappling Claw [Katana]: a secondary attack will occur if Kez successfully arrives to the target (not interrupted), will not lifesteal
  • Kazurai Katana [Katana]: the secondary attack can apply katana stacks only if the first attack was from a katana
  • Raptor Dance [Katana]: Does not proc secondary attacks but can still rush while slashing
  • Talon Toss [Sai]: N/A
  • Mark [Sai]: The secondary attack can mark the target (17%) or proc it if it is already marked. Fully applies crit and stun.
  • Raven's Veil [Sai]: N/A
Item Interactions:
  • Critical Strike: Yes

Shodo Sai (E)

Whenever Kez deals attack/ability damage from Sai, have a 17% chance to apply a mark for 8s, slowing for 10%. On next instance of attack/ability damage, it crits for 140/160/180/200% damage, and stuns for 0.5s.

Raven's Veil (R)

Kez releases a wave of smoke in a 1500 radius that temporarily reduces vision from enemies and applies a Parry Mark. Kez turns invisible for 7/8/9 seconds, with 15/25/35% bonus movement speed.

  • Applies a basic dispel on cast and can dodge projectiles if no true sight
  • Reduced vision lasts 4 seconds. Initially sets vision to 200, and after 1 second, the target regains vision gradually until it expires.
  • The applied Parry Mark overrides any previously applied Mark/Parry Mark, with refreshed duration.
  • AoE manipulation: Bloodstone increases AoE to 1575
  • Stun: wave will still travel and apply Parry Mark even if Kez is stunned
  • Root: Can be cast while rooted
  • Leash: Can be cast while leashed
  • Dispel: The vision reduction can be removed via basic dispel but the parry mark can only be removed via strong dispel.
  • Debuff Immunity: Applies Parry Mark on debuff immune targets but not the vision reduction.

Morphling
  • Upon casting Morph, Morphling will copy the skillset of the currently active stance.
  • Katana Stance
    • Echo Slash
      • Functions the same as with Kez, but the after image is Morphling.
    • Kazurai Katana
      • Only applies stacks while morphed into Kez
  • Sai Stance
    • Falcon Rush
      • While morphed as Kez, Mophling has secondary attacks.
      • When morphed out, Morphling can rush but cannot use secondary attacks.
    • Shodo Sai
      • Does not mark targets from abilities or attacks (17%). Can only apply Parry Mark when successfully parrying attacks. Parry Mark can crit and stun as normal.


TLDR I just want to know something interesting

The following is already from above but if you don't have the time to read everything, here are some of the more interesting interactions I've found (in my opinion) while testing:

  • Echo Slash (Q): Can be used to escape leashes (Pounce, Sprout), displacement (Glimpse, X Mark) and impassable terrain (Kinetic Field, Arena of Blood)
  • Grappling Claw (W): Can be used to escape Kinetic Field, and go in Arena of Blood (but not out)
  • Kazurai Katana (E): If the target has attack damage reduction (Bulwark, Frost Shield), it might not be a good idea to cast the active because it will be reduced. Rather, let it tick
  • Shodo Sai (E): Cleave is the only item-based attack modifier that works during parry. For hero-based modifiers, results may vary
  • Ghost Scepter: Perhaps the best early defensive item against Kez. Can dodge all of his abilities (even Raptor's Dance) except Talon Toss.
  • Revenant's Brooch: Since most of Kez's abilities are attack based, Revenant's Brooch costs no mana. Also, when attacking marked enemies with revenant's brooch, you consume no mana, and do not proc the mark (might be a bug?)

If you have reached this far, hopefully you learned something new! If there is anything I overlooked, or something that was different in your tests/experience I would love to know. Thanks for reading!

Patch 7.36 (www.dota2.com)
 

Didn't want to make title too long, sorry. By load back I mean read from clipboard or from a file or have an input box to paste from clipboard a lost of URLs and open each in a tab.

On my phone (it's a MIUI device) firefox sometimes acts weird, I can see URL in a tab but page looks empty. I can copy the URL manually, close the tab, open a new one, but this can be annoying if I have many tabs and this also changes the tab order.

Also, no, I can't just close firefox and open it again, as I mostly use firefox in private mode.

I just want to copy all open URLs, restart firefox, and open all my tabs in private mode again in the same order by pasting URLs back.

Also, android aften kills my firefox when it's in the backgroind without any warning.

Last time I searched, I couldn't find any such addons, but it's possible that I used wrong keywords.
