it's not a browser extension, its a SLAAC thing https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/deploy360/2014/privacy-extensions-for-ipv6-slaac.

TL;DR is that SLAAC used to use part of your device MAC to form it's IP, which would be trackable/fingerprintable. Now devices just pick the last 48-bits at complete random on the assumption that no other device is going to have that specific address out of the 4 quintilion available addresses.

Manjaro was my first Arch distro and I enjoyed it until I found out about the issues with packages always being out of date. Switched over to EndeavourOS and have been loving it so far. It's been "just working" for like two years now and even my 70 year old parents don't notice a difference from Windoze when they borrow my laptop. In fact my dad is using it to do some Quicken work today (which was an adventure to get working. WineHQ community was super helpful though)

If they lost to a bunch of emus it wouldn't surprise me to find out that they're scared of the russians!

Thanks, I had almost forgotten that abomination existed! Yeah, that's a good point. I wonder if that's part of why they killed her off so unceremoniously. Whatever the case, I'm really glad both Denise and Tasha were brought back for Yesterday's Enterprise because she gave a great performance alongside ~~Shooter McGavin~~ Christopher McDonald.

Damn, I didn't have "Austria (potentially) breaks 70 years of neutrality" on my World War III bingo card.

Oh wow, I never even put together that she was Bing Crosby's granddaughter.
