Haven't had any reason to not use firefox since quantum
projectescape··on Firefox Enterprise
I feel like people don't take the Chromium monopoly seriously. Sure, Brave is great, but it's still chromium, making Google have outsized say over how the web behaves. Manifest V3 was the proof, every Chromium browser had to live with it. If this helps Firefox gain ground, I'm all for it.
projectescape··on Launch HN: Consus (YC F24) – LLM gateway for companies handling sensitive data
Food for thought, tool and MCP calls run locally, but every request carries the tool list and every response carries the model's tool calls, both of which pass through you. You could strip non-approved tools from the request and block calls to them in the response, based on an org allowlist. That gives you org-approved MCP/tool calls without touching the dev's machine.

This is great, question though, since you support coding agents like Claude Code and Codex, they run MCP servers, plugins, web search/fetch and their own telemetry from the dev's machine. Do you give customers guidance or controls for that side, or is it out of scope for the gateway?

GH reliability has been a regular question mark lately, and many time issues are not reported publicly too.

In the past 2 months I've seen 3+ instances where GH action were not triggered on commit pushes, leading to silent workflow failures, and seeing GH merge queue being stuck for 3+ hours for production product facing repos
