Does a user who installs Chrome provide consent for Google to be their default search engine?

WordPress used to be quite vulnerable a few years ago, but nowadays not so much, just avoid less popular plugins and you should be ok. Of course since it's the most widely used cms's out there, its a prime target for hackers. But

Maybe I am missing something but I can get the image URL by right clicking>open image in new tab. This might not matter much to others but I hated them when they recently removed the option to filter image search results by exact dimensi

While I understand why this change can be annoying to the tech savvy folks of hackernews, it can be quite helpful for those who aren't that tech savvy and want easy ways to bold, italicize texts (that make up majority of the slack user

You mean the browser that replaces a website's ads with its own? Also it feels laggy compared to chrome.

Yes of course ads aren't great but I love me some money on the side while I am blogging away :). Also I don't find adsense small text ads to be very obtrusive. 10 years ago I knew a few bloggers that were making 4 figure earnings
