I was reading through the latest minutes from the WECG where ‘Issue 744: Proposal: A DNR rule type to intercept top-document navigation’ (link) was discussed – long story short, at the moment if you click on a play button on some video sharing websites it’ll also open up a window but in the window it’ll have a message saying the request has been blocked. In an ideal scenario (as seen on MV2) the window shouldn’t open – I’m unsure how AdGuard gets around it (I have a feeling it’s through the use of Javascript based libraries) but uBlock Origin Lite is a pure DNR based blocker which doesn’t use such libraries and thus depends on DNR to do the sort of blocking that was available on MV2 but not MV3 hence the functionality request. I’m looking forward to eventually seeing a design drawn up and then implemented. I think long term DNR and other components of the MV3 framework will become more feature rich

I tried on a few things that used to not fit me – I don’t have scales at my house but that being said I tend to find that trying clothes on that used too not fit me but are now fitting me a lot better or almost there to fitting me again is a great encouragement that I am on the right track. I think part of the progress is going to be centred around having a better relationship with food – seeing it as ‘fuel for the body’ rather than the unhealthy relationship where food is used as a coping mechanism when I’m stressed, have anxiety, using it as a reward or simply doing it as something to do. It is something that I need to work through but ultimately if the relationship between myself and food isn’t fixed then all the world getting myself healthy is undermined by falling back into behaviours because I never addressed the root cause.

This is why I’m blogging more often these days – finding a healthy outlet to express myself through rather than bottling it all up and it coming out in unproductive ways. Hopefully within a few months things will be looking even better.
