not yet, they haven’t.
not yet, they haven’t.
without search and their abuse of that monopoly, google wouldn’t have dominant positions or massive market shares that many of their other properties (products, services, software, etc) have.
probably not very many because it only took a single psychotic new owner to do that when he started pulling servers out of a sacramento data center a couple years back, with no engineering and no planning.
if google cared, they’d vet ads and ad links, and guarantee their safety and security.
if google cared, they’d put a stop to seo ‘optimizers’ and scammers scoring top positions on serps.
but google doesn’t care about anything other than their profits and share price.
adblockers can affect both of those. they’re using the weak cover of ‘security’ enhancement to neuter them.
existing adblockers provide more safety and security than what can be realized by the shift to mv3.
i mostly use a vivaldi or opera portable for those. unzip, run, use the temperamental site, close, delete directory. it’s not very often that i have to do this.
but for a couple of pesky sites i do frequent a bit more often, i keep their portable browsers to reuse and have them configured (including addons) specifically for them.
i did read somewhere that affected chrome users are being presented with alternatives from the chrome extension ‘store’ that are mv3-ready.
whether or not they’re capable of clicking the right buttons on the right screens and windows to do it is another story.
ubo, abp and adguard all have mv3 variants. there are others, but i think those are the ‘big three’. ublock origin lite is what i’ve been moving people to here, if not to firefox. so far, so good.
dns blocking methods do not, and literally cannot, block them all.
that is the white portion of the diagram.
yes, it will.
whether or not a ‘fully functional’ and fully-featured content blocker remains available for third-party browsers that use chromium as their core will depend on those third-parties and what they add, or add back, to their own releases to support those kinds of browser extensions.
so, basically, the os isn’t tuned for the new chips yet.
the 2nd threads on smt-enabled cores are supposed to get hit last.
i worked on someone’s laptop recently that was set up for mobile deposits via web browser. they also had a bank-provided scanner, too, that worked with it. so it is possible, and it is being done.
i thought i was the only one. i use one occasionally to keep downloads (ahem, updates) or streaming from sucking the internet connection dry… so i have some left for more important things, like doom scrolling and games. other times (or when the hub’s being used elsewhere) i just manually configure the os (in windows, ‘speed and duplex’ via device manager) to use a slower connection on the lan port. either method comes in handy here where the internet speeds range from “kinda sucks” to “at least it’s faster than dialup”
could just be the countries with the most users or where they’ve seen a recent trend, up or down, in local market share.
depends on when it hits the supreme court, for sure.
didn’t someone just say google was ‘very bad’ and should be ‘shut down’? …someone that helped stack the court to its current composition?
i’ve got a few using the mv3 ‘lite’ version of ubo here. seems to be sufficient–for now.
might be something one of the filter lists can take care of. with scripting disabled and ubo enabled, article is readable at the sample link provided.
yea… that ain’t gonna happen. ever.
i will just paste your headline into a web search and find another source (often the same exact article).
i like how the manufacturers who responded to the author’s queries basically said ‘tough shit, that product is out of support’
this is the way. easy. no install. no extra steps. update when you want.
or you can add the ppa that’s listed in the yt-dlp install instructions (scroll down to third-party package managers > apt) and use apt to install it like any other package.
when it automatically enables on win11 home, it doesn’t actually “enable” until you do sign-in to windows with a microsoft account so it has a place to stash the recovery key.
and, i have not had any difficulty turning the encryption off on win11 home systems.
