I don't think first item is true especially if you have 2-step verification enabled. They explicit say that if you lose your auth token, they can't do nothing. When I didn't used 2-step, I forgot my password, called them and

Browser APIs to block content are fairly simple. There's no reason to use a huge piece of software if you just want to block some urls. Ad blockers have their own issues, including trust about maintainers intentions.

OTOH I'm ok with ads, but not ok with miners. So wouldn't make sense have an ad blocker that doesn't block ads. People seems allergic to browser extensions this days. I also get the "why is this an extension and not a fi

WhatsApp need it because of the P2P technology. On Telegram, your messages are stored on their servers, so it's less secure, but you can text on multiple devices. I agree that we need business tools. The demand for customer service via

Just to note, there are other uses in browser automation beyond testing (this article is about webscraping). Selenium webdriver have its own limitations, and they aren't willing to add features to cover other use cases. I hope Puppetee
