They're not blocking uBO, they're removing the features in the browser that allowed uBO to work by releasing new plugin APIs, "Manifest v3". They're eliminating the key APIs needed for uBO to identify things that it

It's not if. It's when. It has been 'when' since 2020. It is coming. It is not going to not come. It will be here in mere releases. Get ready.

It really is a whole alien domain to itself. The syntax being so foreign to most developers doesn't help. But it's so powerful, incredibly powerful, and in most browsers, extremely efficient. The extremely vast majority of web app

From my reading, if the site only shows you based on your selections, then it wouldn't be liable. For example, if someone else with the exact same selections gets the same results, then that's not their platform deciding what to s

If there was never infrastructure to handle third party app stores, then such infrastructure would need to be built, and assumptions based on idea that there are no third-party app stores have to be revisited and reworked. They have to then

We humans also trust the consensus of non-peer reviewed truth all the time. Tell that group of children that the opposite sex doesn't have cooties, and there's a good chance they'll laugh at you. Look at any online community,

What a short sighted, money grubbing decision by people that didn't actually care about the wellbeing of the company. Keeping the land the restaurants are on means higher margins of profit long term and the ability to weather problems.

The party pack of twelve soft tacos at Taco Bell costs $30 if you want sour cream. It costs just as much to add a few dollups of sour cream to the tacos as it is to by a bulk tub of tub of sour cream at one of the warehouse stores.
