    For microsoft its a joke to support. We are talking about _one hook_ into Chrome internals for declarativeNetRequest to work.

      I hear this and I also hear the lack of experience with enterprise (let alone commercial) software development. Five lines of code still requires one dev, one PM, and one manager. It still requires security reviews, audits, and so on. There are no free lines of code in a commercial code base.

        As I said its a joke to MS, they are a $3 trillion company. Not to mention all that AI replacing developers they keep talking about :)

          Apple is a $3tn company and can't do anything-AI. I mean, revenue totals aren't a measure of capability, will, or want.
