IFirefox isiphequluli sewebhu esidumile
Kwaphuma izindaba ukuthi I-Mozilla isanda kususwa esitolo esinwetshiwe kusuka kusiphequluli sakho kuya esandisweni"I-Bypass Paywalls Clean", isandiso esidumile seFirefox ne-Chrome, njengoba igama lisho, sivumela abasebenzisi ukuthi badlule i-paywall yedijithali (i-paywalls) kumawebhusayithi adumile ukuze bafunde okuqukethwe mahhala.
I-Mozilla ayenzanga sitatimende ngezizathu zesinqumo sayo., kodwa kukhona abanye emphakathini abaphakamisa ukuthi isandiso sisusiwe ngoba siqongelele abasebenzisi abaningi kakhulu. Ngenkathi ilinde ukwazi izimbangela, inkampani igxekwa kakhulu, njengoba ingekho emzamweni wayo wokuqala.
Mayelana ne-Bypass Paywalls
I-Bypass Paywalls Clean (noma i-Bypass Paywalls) isandiso sesiphequluli noma umbhalo oklanyelwe ukweqa imikhawulo ye-paywall yedijithali kusuka kwamanye amasayithi ezindaba akhawulela ukufinyelela kokuqukethwe kwawo. I-Bypass Paywalls ivumela abasebenzisi ukuthi bafinyelele lokhu okuqukethwe ngaphandle kokukhokha okubhaliselwe.
Iyahambisana ne-Google Chrome kanye neziphequluli ze-Mozilla Firefox. Kodwa ngesonto eledlule, umthuthukisi wesandiso ubike ngendawo yokugcina yephrojekthi ye-GitLab ukuthi i-Mozilla isuse i-Bypass Paywalls esitolo sayo se-Firefox, ivimbela abasebenzisi ukuthi bayilande ngqo esipheqululini.
Kamuva inkampani ayizange isho lutho ngesinqumo sayo.
“Sengivele ngikuchazile ukusebenza kwesandiso emgqeni wokuqala walesi sihloko. Elinye lamasayithi kungenzeka ukuthi lithumele isaziso se-DMCA esandisweni se-Bypass Paywalls, okungenzeka kuholele ekutheni i-Mozilla isuse isandiso esitolo sabo. Angiqiniseki ngokuphelele, ngoba uma kunjalo, ngabe i-Mozilla ibingeke yini imazise unjiniyela? Noma mhlawumbe wephule isigatshana semigomo nemibandela yediphozithi. Ngeke siqiniseke, esikwaziyo nje ukuthi ngeke usakwazi ukulanda i-plugin esitolo esinwetshiwe,” kubhala umthuthukisi.
Phakathi neminyaka, I-Bypass Paywalls isidume kakhulu emphakathini, nezinkulungwane zabantu abayisebenzisayo ukuze bathole ukufinyelela kwamahhala nokuvulekile kokuqukethwe okukhokhelwayo. Kodwa-ke, futhi inokugxekwa okuthile, okuhlanganisa ukwephula imigomo yokusebenzisa yewebhusayithi kanye ne-copyright.
Futhi, i-bypass paywalls ibeka engcupheni amamodeli ebhizinisi ezinhlangano zezindaba eziwasebenzisa kumawebhusayithi azo futhi abanye bathi lokhu kunganciphisa ikhono labo lokukhiqiza ubuntatheli obusezingeni eliphezulu. Ikakhulukazi, babekuthola kunzima ukuzixhasa ngokwezimali.
NgoDisemba 2018, i-Bypass Paywalls yayivele ivinjelwe yi-Mozilla. Omunye wababuyekezi be-Firefox Extension Store uyisusile ngenxa yokwephula imigomo yesevisi yenkundla. Kodwa ngaleso sikhathi, umthuthukisi wabonisa ukuthi imigomo yesevisi yesikhulumi ayizange ikhulume igama elithi "paywall" ngisho nakanye. Unjiniyela wabe esethula isiphakamiso sokuphikisa isinqumo se-Mozilla. Kubonakala sengathi lesi sinyathelo besinokufaneleka kokuphoqa iMozilla ukuthi ibuyisele isandiso esitolo sayo sohlelo lokusebenza ngaphambi kokusisusa ngesonto eledlule.
Inkampani kufanele ihambisane nemithetho yase-US, njengomthetho we-Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) kanye noMthetho Wokukhwabanisa Nokuhlukunyezwa Kwekhompyutha. Ukususwa okusha kwesandiso kungachazwa ukuthi i-Mozilla ithole isaziso se-DMCA futhi yasithobela. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi Isaziso se-DMCA kanye Nenqubo Yokwehliswa siyithuluzi labanikazi be-copyright ukuze basuse izinto ezilayishwe umsebenzisi ezephula i-copyright yabo kumawebhusayithi. Izinkampani zivamise ukwenza lolu hlobo lwesicelo sokuhoxa, ngokwesibonelo, kumongo wesoftware evuzayo ngaphambi kwedethi esemthethweni yokukhishwa.
Umthuthukisi we-Bypass Paywalls ubike ukuthi babuyekeze isandiso saba yinguqulo engu-3.5.0. Ungase ungasiboni isibuyekezo ngisho noma usuvele unaso isandiso, njengoba sisusiwe ohlwini. Nokho, ungakhetha ukufaka inguqulo engasayiniwe ngokulayisha i-XPI kusuka ekhasini lokukhishwa kwephrojekthi ye-GitLab.
Uma ukhetha le nguqulo, kufanele uthumele izihlungi zakho zangokwezifiso ngaphambi kokuthuthukisa. Bambalwa abantu abathanda ukusebenzisa izandiso ezingasayiniwe ngezizathu zokuphepha. Kodwa umbhali wesandiso futhi ugcina uhlu lwezihlungi ongazisebenzisa nezivimba zesikhangiso.
