   All day interviews with no compensation are unprofessional bordering on insulting.

   Sounds like a good option to have around, but gives off a protection racket vibe to remove all the crapware included.

   If I load up youtube with an adblocker it shows me the video I clicked, if I don't have an adblocker it shows me a 3 minute ad.

   Or Google is actually scared. We have been hearing for years how adblocking is not an issue to be addressed, yet they are desperate to put the adblocking genie back into to bottle.

   Adblocking is performance and much more impactful than some % shaved off in rendering benchmarks.

   I've always wondered what is the order of importance when it comes to oral hygiene. Brush, paste, duration, technique. Further which is more important, brushing, flossing or a good mouthwash? Is there anything that survives a chlorhexi

   What is an easier solution to improving browsing experience, performance and security than blocking ads? Don't you think a simple extension like ublock demonstrates a whole paradigm shift in browsing experience? One that moz:/&#x2

   We can only wonder. Individuals’ security and privacy on the Internet are fundamental and must not be treated as optional. [1] [1] https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/details/

    Are they that cash strapped? IIRC moz://a had an agreement with yahoo which they terminated just so they can sign with Google. The real irony imo of FF being considered the alternative browser, but not actually competing against

    Actually all browser vendors could/should do that except for Google.

    I don't think there is a hard stance on bundles, after all moz://a integrated Pocket into Firefox just fine. Nevertheless, it could be due to personal opinions, but catering to your main commercial partner's business mod

    In your opinion why Firefox does not ship with some kind of adblocker by default?

    Regardin principle 4 I don't quite agree, if that was the interpretation we would had something like ublock in core FF years ago. It is very clearly not a technical problem. As for principle 5 I do not hold my breath but hope you are r

    I don't think there is anything about that in moz://a's manifesto, but maybe my interpretation is wrong. On the other hand, Google being their main source of revenue they are indirectly funded by ad money too. Commercia

    Complaint is this is not happening at all. In fact, they would need to require an opt-in consent, not presenting obfuscated opt-outs which do not even work. It really does not help we have tables with few hundred companies listed.

    I think we can safely agree as of now GDPR is having ~zero effect (bar the annoying overlays) and quickly becoming another cookie law.

    I go out if my way as far as possible to avoid advertised products/services. Especially drugs, like 2 out of 3 ads are from pharmas. I opt for generics whenever it is possible.

    In my very ignorant world view Kalman filters make some prediction from some input. As do various ML techniques. As do various statistical models and techniques. What are some good sources that show the connection between all these techniqu
