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.
Best of luck with that.
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.
Omg they’re going to get n-bombed by a 12 year old to death!
I am not sure how Manifest V3 is relevant here?
Because they literally tout security as one of the primary reasons for forcing it onto people.
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/intro/
The first line is “A step in the direction of security, privacy, and performance.”
https://developer.chrome.com/blog/mv2-transition/
“Manifest V3 is more secure, performant, and privacy-preserving than its predecessor.”
It’s the first thing they say.
If it doesn’t prevent a malicious extension from lifting your password in perhaps the most dumb and naive way I can think of, then it seems fairly disingenuous to describe it as “secure”.
I don’t break very many cables myself, but I’ve certainly broken a couple of Apple cables - they seem particularly delicate.
All it takes is picking up your phone without realising it’s still on charge and getting unlucky with force/angle. That won’t destroy it but it’ll damage the interface between the cable and the plug enough that it’ll start to deteriorate and eventually come apart.
Wow.
He looks like a plastic bag full of porridge with hair plugs.
Yeah I’ve got one too. They’re certainly nicer, but the thing that worries me is while the braided cable is a little more durable they’ve taken away the strain relief.
(That said these usb-c ones look like they have strain relief, so maybe?)
You can bet your left nut that braiding will do precisely zero for durability. No way they want to eat into their cable profits.

Ok so it’s my fault that now someone at Intel knows how much porn I look at because I clicked “next” on a beta driver?
They collect:
The categories of websites you visit, but not the URL itself
The information collected includes categorized web browsing history that shows how long and how often you visited specific categories of sites (i.e. social media, personal finance, or news). All site visits are classified into one of 30 categories. We do not collect URLs, web pages titles, or user-specific content without explicit permission from you.
Software usage: for example, frequency and duration of application usage such as Intel® Driver & Support Assistant, but not the application content itself such as specific actions or keyboard input.
Feature usage: for example, how much RAM you usually use or your laptop’s average battery life.
Other devices in your computing environment
Includes universal plug and play devices and devices that broadcast information to your computer on a local area network: for example, smart TV model and vendor information, and video streaming devices.
(the emphasis is mine, as is the minor reordering to not hide the browsing behaviour stuff at the bottom)
Yeah that’ll be a no from me there, bud.
I know. I don’t disagree. I’m just tired of everything being desperate to collect invasive amounts of information about me.
Because they invariably record way more data than they need to.
How bout just don’t install privacy-invading data collection services alongside a fucking device driver at all.
I know, but those techniques are more likely to cause selection weirdness than flexbox/etc, which is why I mention them specifically.
