  • 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.










  • Good app but they got bought and immediately upped their price by a lot from what I recall. It’s why I moved on. I think it was a more than 3x price hike in the US and as much as 5x elsewhere.

    Shame because their desktop option is tied to that subscription. I couldn’t justify paying that much just to swap phone/desktop.



  • You can grind for great rewards but they also are encouraging easy endeavors for a lot of points and any content is giving the 100% XP bonus which makes even questing feel nicer. There is a grind if you want true flame or one of the other 4 this-time-only items but that’s some people’s enjoyment.

    The only ball dropping imo is the PTS debacle but they are giving the affected all the items, like a years endeavors, and a ton of other stuff that seems fair to me.

    I think it can be hard for someone if they always feel the need to maximize anything they do, they probably just grind the whole time to earn millions of gold. I did a few grinds to get the loot high but doing dailies I had not tried yet has been fun since I get the 100%xp and an extra loot box for each.

    Obviously just my experience though.
