I hope your right. My experience in life has been people will constantly loosen what they find acceptable and it does not stay contained but spreads. 😟

I either use Firefox or LibreWolf. I was just conversing.

The new Declarative Net Request API is still a downgrade in capability compared to the older API, but the feature gap has closed significantly. If a certain website finds a workaround for ads that Manifest V3 extensions can’t block, then you probably should just switch browsers or stop going to that site. I would like to see the rules limit continue to increase, though.

Isn't that most of the web?

I enjoyed the article. I don't think it's coincidence that Google is going after adblockers at the same time as this is happening, despite suggested improvements that will come along with Manifest V3.

It could make things more secure from malicious extensions but in my experience people who install extensions tend to be a bit more savvy and people who aren't savvy tend to not use extensions. That's just my experience though.

I do think people should get paid for efforts so we can keep nice things that could be getting served to us by a small team. Websites I frequent for gaming info for example. But I only found those places by searching and sifting through sites with poor morals and I need a way to browse safely for that.

Yeah, but no one will hop on irc or mumble to hang out these days.

Unless gaming and using multiple monitors. That was my experience after a couple of months. Fedora, a few weeks in, has made things lot smoother. Otherwise though, Mint was great and with further Wayland I could see me use it again.

As someone newer who has only used Ubuntu and Mint, what do you get elsewhere?

It looks more like multiple companies were needed to pin the individual. I don't expect any company to not comply with legal requests. My understanding is this is why it's important to know what information a company retains.

For my own use, I have used Proton just to mitigate being a source of ad info and to get better service. I'm not interesting enough to overthrow anything.

All of my local gyms in my last 3 areas have been super pricy. Like $75-$150 a month. It may not seem high, but when you can get a franchise membership for $10-$30, it's a hard sale.

I have had luck with specialty stuff though. Yoga is common to have discounts and decent pricing if that's anyone's jam.
