Maybe but it's always been a problem. I've been receiving offers to monetize or sell my extension for over a decade.

I hope this means they're changing the main menu back to functioning like an actual menu instead of a weird panel thing, but somehow I doubt it.


I don't know if you know this, but you can still get the traditional kind of menu if you tap the Alt key. It won't stay permanently visible if you change focus back to the content page though.


* You don't believe China should be an "adversary"


I tried to keep my description vague and not specific to China. I agree that it's relevant whether China is or is not an adversary, and that China is the obvious proximate target of this legislation.

Is your point to say that you specifically don't believe China is an adversary, thus the bill is off the mark? I could read your item as saying either that, or this: in order to promote better relations between adversarial nations, bills restricting the ability of one nation to operate in another are indefensible. In other words, to make sure China is not an adversary, TikTok should not be banned.


Let’s all keep in mind that “adversaries” are just regular countries that some people in government have decided are a competitive threat or strategic obstacle. This is, frankly, bullshit.

If you want to declare a country an enemy of the United States and cut off my ability to access information from that country, you should have the fortitude to declare war. Otherwise I’m not interested in the opinion of some bureaucrat at State, thank you very much.



git log --first-parent

Works best if your merge commits have useful messages.


Is there something significant about this release? I read the changelog but nothing really stands out to me.


I was going to ask the same thing. Why is this on the top of the front page?


Wondering the same. Will it bypass YouTube latest efforts


I think they made it a lot easier for people to keep up to date with the YT fixes. They added a feature for clicking a specially crafted URL to update a specific filter list. That will allow them to tell people who get the YT popup to “just click this link”.


Considering it still needs javascript, this trick seems massively overcomplicated compared to the following:

  <textarea oninput="this.style.height = 0; this.style.height = this.scrollHeight + 'px'"></textarea>
(Yes this forces an extra reflow but it likely won't matter)


I think all other methods require a reflow as well (internal or external). Because at the end of the day, you still need to measure the height of the text before rendering a larger box.


Yes, because the bill hasn't actually taken effect yet. Meta is blocking news preemptively, Google plans to do so later.


Yep, I've been getting these emails since 2014, around 200 in total. My extension has had between 30,000 and 100,000 active users. They often quote up to $500 a month per 1000 users, which sounds too good to be true.


These tests just show the default settings. If you enable the ad blocker and disable third party cookies it would score a lot better.


Then if you add the same to Chrome, it'll be even better.
