From c5f885dfb930e2b7e4a7c2ecb243cb939fd3f96a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petter Reinholdtsen Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2023 05:13:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Change Start page to no longer dial home by default. When starting FreeCAD for the first time, it load the HTML content of src/Mod/Start/StartPage/StartPage.html and show it as a friendly startup page. Unfortunately, one of the tabs in the startup page is an iframe loading the content of https://blog.freecadorg/. The effect is that every time one start FreeCAD, it dial home over the Internet with a HTTP request to the mentioned URL. This is a privacy problem. At the moment the blog page in turn will connect to https//i0.wp.com/ and https//s0.wp.com/, in effect also reporting the startup to Wordpress. Please do not dial out without the expressed approval and on request of the user of the program. This patch change the startup page to instead of putting the blog posts in a tab, it will link to the blog and the connection is only established when the user click on 'BLOG' in the start page. It include a link tooltop to make it easier to understand that this will bring the user to a new page. --- src/Mod/Start/StartPage/StartPage.html | 8 ++------ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/Mod/Start/StartPage/StartPage.html b/src/Mod/Start/StartPage/StartPage.html index 1a6eb0c637..0bdf8d5f48 100644 --- a/src/Mod/Start/StartPage/StartPage.html +++ b/src/Mod/Start/StartPage/StartPage.html @@ -21,7 +21,8 @@
