I haven't been able to find such an explicit explanation of he policies Privacy Badger uses. It is all very vague machine lerning talk. I would like to see a clearer comparison as well.

I think teaching people that Google is dangerous and everyone using Chrome makes it worse is important, and probably a good strategy for Firefox. You can reasonably feel like Chrome is better than Firefox but I don't think it's so

We don't know if the US would call for his extradition and neither does he. I understand why he would try to play it safe. I still think he should be on trial for that alleged rape.

And fellow police members will sweep another police member planting evidence or torturing a suspect under the rug. Doesn't make it any more right. Just highlights that the whole organization is rotten.

Do they really sell through all their stock? One of the prime arguments in support of a livable minimum wage, is that is also increases purchasing power of people, increasing the revenue. More people could have bought books and made up for

I don't understand. I'm not advocating for the state to stamp out beliefs I disagree with. But the believes that should win out and survive should be the correct ones, not the useful ones.

Translation: Netflix successfully lobied DRM into what is supposed to be the OPEN web standard, to the point where even Firefox couldn't afford not to support it. Dark days for the free exchange of information enabled by the web.

This is a further step in the reduction of user control, the thing that I think made the web so successful in the first place. I suspect it will kill the web, but it will at least make it unacceptable for me. I would like to find and suppor

First DRM and now this. I'm getting the feeling the web is not interested in my priorities anymore. So if I wanted to support a standard that prioritizes easy, accessible exchange of information, openess and user control with my server

It doesn't pay to have an informative headline because revenue is based on the amount of people who open your webpage, not the amount of people who get informed by you. This is another bit of damage done by the disgusting ad industry.
