On mobile: multiple top and bottom tool/nav bars that automatically show/hide themselves when you scroll. They’re invariably more irritating than if they were just pinned at the top of the page (or perhaps viewport, but ideally page - I can scroll to the top of I want it back)
On desktop: animations tied to scrolling.
Anywhere: any kind of popup, modal, etc that I didn’t click on something to get. Please fuck alllllllll the way off.
The browser implements the text selection behaviour, but how infuriating it is depends on how convoluted your page construction is.
On a simple page with no floats, overlaid elements, negative margins, absolute positioning, hidden stuff, and other css layout tomfoolery, it’s perfectly predictable. It’s only when designers do designer things does it start to break down.
“Winning” is like making it to max level in a mmorpg. It’s not the end but it is the beginning of the endgame.
I mean I’m still out here rawdogging usenet without a vpn. I keep waiting for the great crackdown on usenet but it never comes… Surely that comes before any VPN crackdown.
Gimme dat blowhole mod
If you’re making a mil a year in revenue there’s a good chance your profit margin is tiny and licensing fees could obliterate it.
They use data, just not the data from the customers paying them for enterprise licenses.
Honestly fear of leaking customer data is the only thing that’s kept my work from spunking every single byte of data we have at some LLM service a lazy attempt to come up with a product they can sell with minimal effort. They’re gonna love this shit.
Wow.
He looks like a plastic bag full of porridge with hair plugs.

Shit no! You know what you can’t change if/when they inevitably leak your data? Your fucking hand.
Impressive. If I recall correctly those things had like a 5mm metal shaft molded into the stick. I don’t think mine ever broke, despite some fairly heavy use. I recall the auto fire switch being pretty flimsy though.
Ah didn’t spot the start button. Yeah I remember the label saying A and B despite only having one button.
Cool.
I had one of these with my Amiga, favourite joystick ever.
What’s megadrive about them? Is the pinout different?
It’s not subscription business models that will be affected by this, it’s ad-supported ones.
The problem is you’re running Chrome now*. Google are in the process of severely restricting the mechanism by which adblockers work in Chrome and its derived browsers - so it’s happening now. The only viable alternative left is Firefox, if Google manage to get this proposal past then there’s nothing stopping ad-supported sites from forcing you to use Chrome or another browser they know they can serve you ads with. Those types of sites are already comfortable with aggressive anti-adblock tech so no doubt they’ll be comfortable with this too.
Switch to Firefox!
* statistically speaking!
You can trademark dictionary words.
You can’t trademark anything too generic, like you might struggle to trademark a drink called “drink” or something (although you might be able to trademark, eg, shoes called “drink”!), but there’s nothing stopping you trademarking words.
Oh, and, Adobe is an english word, too.
That’s an amusing name but they take a photoshop competitor to market using that name they’re going to lose a trademark dispute in milliseconds.
Problem is the effort to find a vulnerability and exploit it is often higher than the effort required to patch it. Because by its nature a browser and the server it talks to are internet connected, Google will be able to revoke keys for older exploited versions at will. As long as it’s well-engineered I think there’s a good chance they’ll be able to keep that secure.
Though I’m sure there will be some successful approaches to ad blocking etc but if something like this gains traction it could completely change the internet. If enough people are running browsers like this then sites could effectively be able to kill off competing browsers that aren’t restricted.
I think the key is to not let it happen in the first place, and boycott browsers that implement stuff like this.
I know, but those techniques are more likely to cause selection weirdness than flexbox/etc, which is why I mention them specifically.
