I tried these examples on ezgif, and indeed apng manages to be smaller than webp every single time. Weird, I was under the impression that webp was almost always smaller? Is this because GIF images are already special, or apng uses better c

What about updates? The hardware might function for decades (basically forever), but that means nothing if you can't/are not allowed to update the SSL library.

Probably not, since they would surely up it at least 15 arguments, instead of 3. But what else, then?

I don't think that not having all the services is a problem. On the contrary, I think it is an advantage for userscripts, that those only have the redirects a user explicitly adds. Tho I probably should've demonstrated first that

Eww, that's very unfortunate. Well, so much for a cross-os copy-paste shortcut.

A web extension is an unnecessary security risk. A userscript will do it just fine. edit: one of my previous attempt: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35229211 I actually have made it extensible, with closely coupled so

No, a project or a project leader having haters (just this thread there are 3 distinct people jumping in with various insults or fake news on normal questions) should not be enough for something to get censored. What kind of 'Why are
