With Google hell bent on crippling their browsers functionality with the gradual work being done around killing off MV2 in favour of MV3 which cripples content blockers by limiting the number of filters that can be enabled, removing functionality for the sake of “but what happens if they install an extension from a non-verified source!”…

Well, I’m working on Matariki but on the upside there is a bonus – I get time and a half plus a day in lieu since this is my normal day of work (I work a Wednesday to Sunday schedule). One thing I’ll need to remember is completing the time sheet at the end of…
