You can usually find a html parser for your language, that you can use xpath/xsl on. It will just make the same assumptions that the browser does, by adding missing closing tags etc. I made a tool that extracted parts of web pages 10-1

It is surprising that they apparently haven't added a more strict check when an extension claims to be from a known company. I would have thought they would have a list of names like "Microsoft", "Facebook" etc. tha

It's mostly about the emotional attachment. If you find two identical pens, and one of them was used by a famous writer, you would expect a price difference. There is no difference in the quality of those pens. They both work the same,

Please don't use "Europe" when comparing unless it applies to all 50 countries. Norway has actually increased the number of trees in the last 100 years. In 1925 the volume of Norway’s forests was 300 million cubic meters of w

All of the features you mention can be done without JS using server side rendering. It would of course be more convenient to use JS for advertisements, but logins and comments used to be implemented without using JS for many pages, even if

It's interesting that they haven't made this discount automatic. Each developer has to apply for the discount. Seen from a PR point of view they support small developers, but they will profit from those who are not aware, or who d
