End of another week, looking forward to relaxing over the next couple of days, sleep in, got the dentist on Tuesday for deep cleaning of my teeth. Around 6 months ago they were able to finish most of it but I needed another appointment to finish it off then after I’ll schedule a yearly check…

Just been following the discussion regarding the migration from MV2 to MV3 – at times the discussion has become rather heated as people accuse Google of deliberately crippling the extension framework to undermine content blockers.

Well, I decided not to get up early today and instead sleep in until 11am – woke up, had a relaxing brunch and then checked out to see what was happening, what the masses were thinking of the new platforms given that I avoided the public beta versions due to preferring to keep a stable…

Firefox 130 has been released (link) and everything is going well – responsive, uBlock Origin extension working wonderfully (looking forward to the release of uBlock Origin which appears to be packed with lots of bug fixes and enhancements). For me I’m not really interested in chatbots but my focus is mainly on standards compliance to…
