It's a SaaS WYSIWYG site builder, the page is 300 requests and 20MB with aggressive adblocking turned on, and over a thousand requests with adblock turned off. Almost every element is hard-positioned with absolute onto the page, or mis

Google blocks browsers that are lying to it, yes. This is extremely common for bruteforcing and other abusive use cases, and you're just caught in the middle.

They also pollute the shit out of your HTML source with comments and meta tags for yoast's blog. No honour among thieves, considering the usual SEO/SEM snakeoil.

One of the nastiest things I've seen from the "analytics startups" espousing how they're GDPR friendly and compliant and privacy friendly is that they advertise stuff like CNAME cloaking, using random URLs or hostnames f

SAML, single sign on, 2FA confirmation, etc. For example, I don't know what login method a user would be using (our own password? or redirect them to their corporate's auth portal) until they enter their email.

My personal thought is that you shouldn't be connecting to anything personal or local from a work provided, likely heavily keylogged, device.

There was a point where, at least in the US, this was standard behaviour for virtually every single major ISP and mobile provider. Several used to hijack all port 53 traffic to disallow you from using anything but their resolver.

I don't know the scale I plan on using it at yet. Matomo started breaking down at a few million pageviews a month. Is it possible to turn off one click updates completely? I deploy as an immutable application container (I do the same f

I already use Postgres and have infrastructure set up to automate Postgres, optimise it, etc. Performance is generally better (at least IME) than MySQL. json, jsonb types, etc were a decision in choosing Postgres for the rest of my applicat

How can I self host this, and are you aware Shibboleth is a very old and actively used, well known software? I was quite confused seeing that in the dropdown.

I agree wholeheartedly with this, and also toss simpleanalytics into the ring. They explicitly advertise the ability to bypass blockers and set up custom subdomains on their frontpage, which IMO _the person that is blocking it does not wish

I don't have an opinion on this in either direction, but i'm curious: how do you define a small business, and do inefficient/wasteful small businesses get selectively 'bailed out' compared to national ones? Why sho

It uses adaptive streaming (MPEG-DASH), iirc. Starts at a low bitrate and scales upward over time. Works great for Twitch-length stuff. For a 10 second gif-equivalent, you don't get enough scale up time.

Yes. Since for games, personal email, etc, I use one browser exclusively, it doesn't bother me. I don't usually go to the same sites bookmarked (like javadocs for fun, who needs that? goes straight in the "work" browser)

I use 5+ daily during web development. Most people I know use a combination of Safari/Chrome/Firefox/Edge, pick at least 2. I use separate browsers for work/play too, due to overlapping SSO domains.

another quite fun thing is that this depends on your site vertical and demographic: on some of the esports-related properties i've worked on in the past, adblock rates (that also block analytics) may exceed 80%. i have seen 90% before
