Pro doesn’t reduce ad amounts IME.

It would be easier to hide on iOS.

It’s all client side. It even mentions infected clients.

I’d guess its a solution similar to DASH that dynamically streams different content.

I don’t have any specific examples off hand but HealthyGamer on YT is a psychiatrist with both a western medical degree and traditional training in India. He often compares the two, where they align, etc.

My password manager generates an email in 2 clicks, its a useless identifier.

The medical field is largely based on Western culture. Especially mental health diagnoses are pretty arbitrary.

Yes, when used properly it did out perform the competition.

Webextensions get their own webprocess as well as running in the website. I don’t have a link but if you read their source they just pass a lot of data to their process to determine things (last i looked some years ago).

There is a trade off of executing more things on the site vs transferring a lot of data. Either way it’s a heavy extension.

Dark reader is one of the heaviest extensions you use, lots of dom modifications. It also passes around far too much data between processes.

Yeah, I don’t think that’s generally a problem. But modern firmware for some hardware is very complex and would be nice to be open.

It’s extremely easy to have a fully featured desktop that is open source software only.

Open hardware is hard though.

Some call that “source available” and not open source.

Just by chance because Pandora is very conservative about API changes and it happens to use Android APIs still supported.

Realistically the threat we care about is others leak your password. So it doesn’t matter.

If you have a setup where your password vault is at risk then yes it’s a bad idea.

Pass is excellent. Drive is just now getting better. Calendar is pretty lame.

The good news is no streaming service even supports UHD in browers (except Netflix on Edge?) because of DRM. So I don’t see the value.

That source looks better indeed.

Ars quotes nonsense like “bypasses the security” and “exploit the user”.

Those terms have meaning and they aren’t applicable here.

At the end though they do say things like

is able to hack your phone from the moment you install the app

Without any credible evidence.

The claim is they completely bypass all Android and iOS security is pretty unbelievable.

This is focusing on the wrong things, people live in cities, make trams, light rail, and subways. You’ll just cover most people. Long distance travel shouldn’t be the first goal.
