Yep! As I said, not quite a 1.0 release but a bunch of people are using it in production. And yeah, I think if you want to use SvelteKit the endpoints need to be in something that compiles to JS — not 100% sure. But it's quite possib

SvelteKit! https://kit.svelte.dev/ It's really fun and easy to make front and back-end apps with any combination of pre-rendering, client-side navigation, and server-side rendering on server-based or serverless platfor

Rich Harris would probably frame this article's take as "traditionalist" — someone who cares about the traditional benefits of the web platform and sees the flaws in modern frameworks. The problem is of course that there are

Sounds frustrating! I totally agree — I used to bike around the city and the pollution was pretty noticeable — smelled terrible in congested areas and seemed to make it harder to breathe. I really value the nourishment of clean air and I&#x

Wow, I kind of thought the headline would be an overstatement, but the article actually seems pretty even-handed and truthful in describing what's happening with Google's power over the browser market.

> We’ve also reduced the power usage of software decoded video on macOS, especially in fullscreen. This includes streaming sites such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. Thank god. This has been a real problem.

Seems like a useful extension! How do you get different browsers to open with an extension?

You can read the details here: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2021/05/27/manifest-v3-updat... TLDR: They're officially going to support MV3 but also not going to deprecate the network blocking APIs
283.
by Glench 5y ago
Yeah this is a very awkward release, and not just because MV3 cripples the most important extensions (adblockers). Firefox also hasn't released MV3 support yet so extensions that are cross-browser can't be MV3, which will be reall

Well, your extension has 50k+ users. What percentage do you think would try to get around the payment system? I'm guessing most of your users aren't that technical, they just hate those recipe card things :) And how many users doe

This article is absolutely gutting, but makes an insightful point I haven't heard much before — polluted air from fossil fuels already causes millions of deaths a year even without all the other medical, economic, and cognitive impac

The extension actually lets you customize the behavior based on the type of video segment. In your case you could configure it to not skip sponsored segments but skip other segments e.g. the non-music parts of music videos.

It gets much crazier. Here's a study in Nature showing "Glucose metabolism responds to perceived sugar intake more than actual sugar intake": https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-72501-w?mc_cid=2b..

Ooh, if you liked what you saw of Svelte, you might like these videos that do a great job explaining some of its benefits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdNJ3fydeao and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzX4

Awesome. Been using Svelte exclusively for a couple years in my projects and don't see myself using React ever again.

There's an official Google Group for Chrome extensions. IndieHackers also can be a decent place: https://www.indiehackers.com/group/browser-extension-makers
