Interesting, that on website there is no mention of building "Chrome extension" only extensions. They should even work on Edge. Was this the result of some unfortunate editorializing of post title?

Was going to look into non-website code to see what shenanigans are they doing that are not compatible with "other browsers". As expected, someone already beat me to it and created a PR: https://github.com/AndreiBa

No simple (native) solution yet, as far as I know. While iframe has loading="lazy" support, it probably will be detrimental to accessibility. Could be a fun experiment, though. Maybe try setting preload to "none" on vide

As a user with media autoplay blocked I find this website hard to use. Please consider adding play/pause buttons for each video or just keep video playback controls visible. And with blocking disabled, all videos are loaded at once, an

How about making it harder to subscribe with email address that you do not own? Some silly sausage is using my email address while shopping and I am receiving their clothing receipts. I am still convinced, that clicking "unsubscribe&qu

Someone has to add those stores to OSM. It is usually done by local volunteers, so data for businesses could be lacking. On the other hand, in some regions, the quality of road and building data on OSM usually surpasses Google Maps.

Is you already are writing .NET application, why not use UI library they provide and actually build a desktop application? You can even do pretty good optimizations when packaging such .NET app to reduce its size and even include runtime, t

Consider adding a track where application is built without JavaScript. There have been many interesting development on HTML side, with dialog and popover elements, making no-JS websites viable and even more convenient to use.

Sad to see that so many feed readers are unable to solve polling problems. It should be in their interest to make least requests possible. Especially the ones hosting multiple tenants that are very likely subscribing to same feeds.

As expected. Now for the hard part: how to redirect scrapers to use torrents, and keep them uploading data? Should we write some "data scraping tutorials" specifically targeting OSM and describe using torrents as the best method?

Put planet.osm on torrent. Allow "scraping" only through torrent. Now scrapers are sharing the network load between themselves. Not to mention improved network speed, as probably they all sit on the same AWS instance.
