Well, I see that AdGuard Safari Extension was updated in the last couple of days from 1.11.18 to 1.11.19 – the update includes updating the scriptlets library to 1.11.16 which adds new features and fixes existing bugs (link). I’ve still kept my custom user filters that I use rather than relying on the allow list…

I’ve been sick for the last couple of days then add to that the ‘winter blues’ I’m pushing myself forward – it’s difficult not to fall into slump and once in that slump trying to pull oneself out of it. We’ve had some crappy weather and it is difficult to keep being motivated with work…

Ok, I was watching the Sunday (18 August US time) episode of Meet the Press and what frustrates me was the way in which the issue of ‘banning price gouging’ was being reported – drawing the conclusion that ‘banning price gouging’ equals price controls even though nothing is mentioned regarding price controls. It also completely…

I’ve decided to give Chrome another go to see how MV3 fares when compared to MV2 in Firefox and the bespoke content blocking API that Apple uses in Safari (they are adding declarative net request but still trails in functionality when compared to the implementation on Chrome or Firefox). I have to prefix this by…

Weekends go so quickly – I wish I had a three day weekend because the first day off one is recovering from work which only leaves one day to actually do something. I’m still deciding whether I should go into the office or work from home – if I go into work I’ll have to…

I’ve been running Firefox for a while (recently updated to 128.0.3) but every time I update my version of macOS I like to give Safari another try, to see whether things have improved and what bugs have been fixed – I guess I have an optimistic outlook on life where I hope that maybe as…

Firefox 128.0.2 has been released (link) – a minor update that fixed some annoying bugs. I haven’t noticed anything major, it’s as reliable as always. The one thing I did notice which I like is how when using Google Chat the icon on the tab has a red dot when someone has replied back to…

I thought I might as well give Chrome a try with the whole move to MV3 over the next year – I’ve posted a few toots over on my Mastodon account however I thought it would be better to thrash it out on my blog so I doesn’t come across as some sort of adlib…

I’ve been running Firefox for quite some time and part of that journey has been subscribing to the Firefox subreddit on Reddit – reading through many of the posts one of the posts bought up an interesting question regarding non-Google related reasons why you have chosen Firefox over the alternatives. Funny enough for me my…

A couple of days before the official release of Firefox 128 I wanted to give it a try to see how much it has improved over 127.0.2 – what surprised me was the improvement in performance in both rendering pages as well as retrieving pages (both latency/responsiveness and speed of the download). It appears that…
