Deletion from registry v2 is definitely supported now. It's just a total PITA, and took them a while to implement. But I got my disc space back, so I'm not complaining. :P

Having tried it out, I'm more than a little puzzled. What I don't understand is why make this yet another new platform, instead of just adding it as a new feature to hangouts? All they've done is introduce friction to the on

I'm going to guess that requiring VAT be collected at the buyer's rate is the biggest law affecting small tech companies in Europe. What other EU regulations have a high negative impact on tech businesses?

uBlock can already do this (I use it for hiding the Twitter "while you were away" nonsense), although I suspect that the next step is Facebook scrambling DOM classes and ids with no discernable pattern.
