Google's Controversial Plan to Disable Older Chrome Extensions Starts June 3
  • Some Chromium browsers like Brave and Vivaldi already announced they'll extend it for as long as they can, and when they no longer can't, they'll think of something else like improve their own blockers.

  • Google to push ahead with Chrome's ad-blocker extension overhaul in earnest
  • With manifest v2, extensions could block the content however they wanted, reading and modifying DOM as they see fit.

    Google claims that it is a security risk, so with manifest v3, extensions can only create and give the browser rules and the browser itself will block content based on them. The rules have a limit in size and capabilities.

    If that was still not clear, try thinking of unrestricted SQL access vs a UI for modifying a database.

  • Mozilla is adding tab grouping, vertical tabs, profile management, and local AI features to Firefox
  • tabs themselves ought to be part of the window decoration, not the app

    Well, Windows did try that. It sounds cool as an idea, but it also severely limits what the tabs can do, as most programs don't need tabs that are as advanced as browsers', and even browsers' implementations of tabs vary widely.

  • Android's new anti-theft features
  • Well, by that logic the parents can do whatever they want with the phone, yes, including stopping cellular service or resetting it entirely. But the OS would still protect the teenager's data from unauthorized access.

  • Any good FOSS alternatives to DuoLingo?
  • The problem with Language Transfer is its very limited language selection and its format.

    Duolingo allows reading, writing, listening and speech (last two can be disabled if unsuitable in your context), and it does not impose daily limits. I've yet to find an alternative app that does all 5 of those things.

  • More and more people are ditching carrier roaming in favor of travel eSIMs
  • What exactly is the great advantage of eSIMs if you have a dual SIM phone?!

    If the phone supports a normal and eSIM at the same time, they are equivalent. Because in many countries, dual SIM phones are (and will be) harder to get than single SIM ones, so having eSIM at least allows that.

  • New report: 60% of OpenAI model's responses contain plagiarism
  • ChatGPT itself doesn't know where it got the info from, so it makes up links and names - it's a language model, not a search engine.

    On the other hand, if you manage to find a reputable source and give it relevant metadata, it can format a nice citation for you, saving you time on that instead.

  • Disable back button opening drawer and prompting exit

    Please let us disable using back button to open the drawer and on next press, then a prompt to exit the app. I want Connect to behave like any other Android app does - exit the app immediately if there is no navigation stack left.

    Reklaam r/Eestis?

    Mis oleks, kui u/sunaurus peaks natuke r/Eesti moderaatoritega nõu, et teha reklaami ja kolida vähemalt osa rahvaga siia? Oleme ju digiriik, inimesed kohanevad muudatustega 😄
