It's significantly faster and ublock origin works. Seems like getting parity would take a year+ So I guess they decided it's worth dumping the current code base to focus on the rewrite.

The manufacturer of the device relies on their chipset manufacturer to update their drivers. Also the manufacturer has to them push out that as an update. ISPs often have custom firmwares on the routers so they need to do an update. Also ev

It's the dichotomy of the tech world. Do things for free, even build open source libraries that are used by large companies. But get paid nothing, even perhaps not be able to pay rent. Then praise all the large companies earning millio

The security patch from Google is from October 2018 it looks like. So Twitter is to blame for not coding a mitigation for vulnerable devices? Or is it the phone manufacturer's fault for not releasing security patches for their phones?
