FWIW when sth like this happens, you can try to go to a place like APKPure and actually download the damn thing without anyone telling you that you can't. Also works for pinning versions of apps that ship some malware (like safetynet d

I do wonder if there's something like RDP but for phones.. Like if you could keep a burner phone on somewhere at home maybe and RDP into it to use these crappy malware apps so that they don't complain. Would require transparent fi

That's crazy. Did it happen to a public extension or an unlisted one?
94.
by gear54rus 2y ago
Exactly. It's been clearly established that web extensions' code is more priveleged than a page code, as it should be. The amount of people going 'muh sesoority' in this thread is baffling.

I don't think this is being enforced in practice, thankfully.

One of the possible workarounds would be to just remove the damn header before it causes any further inconvenience. I think they do allow `webRequest` API usage in the store, don't they?

I got frustrated with the current web becoming more and more unusable and made a browser extension to fix that. It's an addon that allows one to modify any web page behavior. You can write rules for things like redirecting reddit to ol

As opposed to 'ai' littering all of the response with more subtle ads that aren't even marked?

It does not suppport extensions on mobile, bascially useless at being a user agent in the true sense of the word.

I'd be enthusiastically using it for 'normal' communication if they haven't idiotically removed SMS support. Without that, they won't ever reach mass adoption because WhatsApp and Telegram are already there and are

And thankfully, just like a loaded gun, there are still ways to get it without paternalistic types getting in the way.

is there write up or code for that?

Just in the same boat as you but I wanted to play VR, you know? So had to go to 10 just because Valve doesn't support lower windows versions. So if you don't upgrade you better be happy with what you have for the rest of your life

by gear54rus 2y ago
At least they are not 100% head-in-ass sesoority yet and still allow to at least self-host to disable that crap.

So go back to asking for directions on every corner or backtracking during the road trip, is that what you're saying? :) Throwing away progress is not the answer to fighting the corporate greed and device lockdowns.

by gear54rus 2y ago
So does it support downloading something that requires a specific account? This sounds like a job for a browser extension and not a website. Otherwise a very good idea and definitely necessary in today's world.

View count is nice but I'd like to be able to share a video that I got with someone else, I think that would be a great function.

Don't think we're close to that point yet. You can still get the same server for free from oracle free tier if you're willing to put up with god awful enterprisey control panel. Also that linode CPU is virtualized (i.e. at le

A self-hostend STUN/TURN server maybe? I don't know but I'm def not installing a VPN for this. Considering I might have another one already running. The issues that would arise from this are numerous.
