I've noticed that toggle sets a local storage entry, but the value of it doesn't appear to matter at all for new tab loads. I hoped it's "just" a UI bug, but some agent-driven reverse engineering of the page should

It should be able to. Waterfox is using roughly the same integration and the maintainer has been seeing reports of YouTube issues, but cannot reproduce it. https://github.com/BrowserWorks/waterfox/issues/4182#

OpenCode has been great in my experience. I still get the best results using it with Anthropic's models, but some of the open weights ones are catching up (GLM 5 works reasonably well for me).

I had the same thought too. It's probably not too difficult to fine-tune a small model for it using the "introduce a random mutation and describe the issue" workflow from TFA

rillian was also instrumental in helping to integrate Rust into Chromium at Brave. I worked with him for a few years; since getting to know him, I started noticing his handle in the contributors list across a surprisingly diverse range of o

fwiw, LEDs with higher CRI will generally be less power efficient, so the premium category has a 3-way tradeoff between brightness, power, and color quality. It's common for high efficiency LED lightbulbs to be much worse at illuminati

You're probably thinking of Adblock Plus? Acceptable Ads is their program; EasyList has no such policy or ties.

FlatBuffers was definitely the majority of the improvements here! On 64-bit systems, pointers themselves can really start to take up a lot of memory (especially if you multiply them across 100k+ adblock filters). Switching to array indices

I'm using a non-standard port (above 10000). Otherwise, nothing special about my configuration. Perhaps 51820 is blocked? It is admittedly quite slow/intermittent though; I wouldn't be surprised if that's the reason it d

Funnily enough, I'm on a British Airways flight right this moment. I'm only using a basic Wireguard tunnel after enabling the free messaging plan. I get the sense they didn't design the firewall to block everything comprehens

You could also look into running mobile Linux on top of libhybris - it's a proprietary compatibility layer, but some people use it to get support for mobile Linux runtimes on more recent devices.

If you want to find devices that still need hardware support under Linux, I highly recommend trying to get a mobile Linux distribution to work on an old smartphone or tablet. postmarketOS in particular has a really good devices page [1] sho

Are you referring to the Manifest V2 extensions supported by Brave? The original extension creators were made fully aware of those plans ahead of time and have been in contact with Brave since then, e.g.: https://github.com/

Open source has the best kind of coordination. If there's a real use-case for two things to work together, you or someone else can implement it and share it without anyone's permission. Meanwhile in proprietary land, people someti

As someone who's been building an adblocker for the last 6 years: yes, there's plenty of proof in the devtools console on more websites than you'd think. Fingerprintjs [1] is a well known one that gets a lot of use. And if yo

There is an Aggressive setting for Brave Shields, which you can set either per-site in the Shields menu from the URL bar, or globally in brave://settings/shields - that should take care of SERP ads and other first-party place

Brave's adblocker supports the standard `$font` resource type modifier on adblock rules as well.

As I see it, Brave is the only Chromium-based browser with a competitive Mv2-deprecation-resistant adblocker. If adblocking is important to you - and it is, to many people - then Brave literally is the only one worth considering. Not to men

FWIW, there is an alternative to OCA film that's slightly easier to apply in small quantities without specialized hardware - it's called LOCA glue (i.e. Liquid OCA). I'd definitely recommend that if you're just assemblin

You probably wouldn't want to run this in real-time on every site as it'll significantly increase the load on your browser, but as long as it's possible to generate adblock filter rules, the fixes can scale to a pretty large
