On: When your last name is Null, nothing works

[outermosthouse]

There is a great Radiolab podcast episode about the woes of null names: https://radiolab.org/podcast/null

On: "Test your adblocker" websites can harm users and the adblocker ecosystem

[outermosthouse]

They offer some testing sites at the bottom of the article: "Brave will continue to work with legitimate testing sites like https://privacytests.org and https://coveryourtracks.eff.org"

[saagarjha → outermosthouse]

Neither of those solve the problem of “is my adblocker on”. Maybe the Brave people should have done some research on why people use these sites rather than making a long blog post explaining why they are bad, actually, while not providing any alternatives for the things people want.

"Will continue to work with"

That's like saying bulletproof glass makers working with gun makers. How can you trust either when both are "working together?"

This comes across as some sites make Brave look bad, and they are calling them out for whatever reason.

Also of note - De Beers owns the diamond certification company, which is convinient because why not.

Are you suggesting that the EFF shouldn't be trusted because Brave works with them to suggest new tests and point out broken ones?

[bitpush → dirkragnarok]

"broken" you say? I'm curious what Brave would consider to be broken. "Gee, we found one of your tests is _incorrect_, and we think this is the right way to do it"
