Great to hear you are interested in colaborating on this issues. muon and react based ui is exactly why i was suggesting to use brave as a base for experimentation. I was not talking about the type of extension that allow to do some common

Forking brave browser [1], or one of other electron based browsers may be a good way forward, as it will allow easy customizability of the ui, and get all the hard to maintain native parts from chromium. Mozillas browser.html project may be

The example in the article doesn't use javascript, and doesn't hook Ctrl-C, all it uses is simple css. The problem here is not related to the browsers at all, the problem is on the terminal side, which should not immediately run a

That depends on what you mean by terraforming. If it is use nuclear bombs to cause huge volcano eruption, it is obviously stupid, but if it is using mirror to heat up air behind the cyclone makes it dissolve or change route, it's a gre

I wonder if it is possible to use gene drive against this bugs? As the article says biting us is a "capital offense" and getting rid of mosquitos, ticks, tsetse and this horrible thing, would improve life of many people.
