We need to remodulate the phasers

They are "remodulating" chrome. If you continue to use chrome and any browser based on it, you might soon realize that adblocking doesn't work anymore, because filtering support was neutered and you no longer will be able to switch to Firefox, as they will outright block it as it allows to block ads.

It is important to use Firefox now to make sure sites won't start blocking it.

If you've seen Star Trek, you know that the humans are the real infinitely adaptable adversary that the Borg stand no chance of defeating

You say that but Google is working on shoving a drm scheme into Chrome that'd keep you from being able to modify sites (e.g. ad and script blocking) and, due to the sheer market share that chrome and Chromium-based browsers have, Google can kinda just do whatever they want. Of course, it's ultimately up to the site owners to implement it, but you know probably 90% of sites will use it.

Reverse the polarity, Geordi!

You mean "The Borg" figuratively

I would expect their random numbers to have at least 128 bits of entropy. Evidently, they have 2 or 3.

Don't the borg only adapt after they get shot? They need to experience it to adapt.

That's an interesting idea, although I'd say in that case they just "meta-adapted", so that even truly random variations in the same degrees of freedom would not have helped.

It’s sent out in waves.

First escalation, you just a warning with an “X” that you can close.

Second escalation, you will be the same warning but without the “X”. You can of course just block the element.

Third escalation, you get the “3 videos” message. After this, YouTube no longer serves you videos. You can get around this by logging out and using incognito mode on Firefox. There are other ways too if you go browse some ublock origin communities.

I just started to get it yesterday

Can you host them locally, if they are only meant for yourself?
