If I had to guess, it's a lot of data they don't want to store. Current solution is either ublacklist, or add filters to uBlock Origin. Both are linked in the thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29546433

My preference is for inoreader. I’ve tried old reader a couple of times, just seemed to be missing things. For instance I couldn’t seem to get a dark theme. In inoreader it’s easy to switch theme. Inoreader seems to have a nicer ui, I als

Password manager browser extensions provide a large attack surface. They also break the browser sandbox. I wish there were a good solution https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/passmgrs.html

You really need a video as the first thing you see so it is easier to grasp what the game is about. EDIT: The video from your 13bananas site should be the first thing in the App Store page. Looks very well done, still confused about what th

The issue with FF profiles is you have to pick a default. Whatever links you click in your OS always open in the default. In Chromium browsers when you click a link, whatever profile was last opens the link. You also have to do some hacks t

The lower contrast is definitely an issue. I've also done a turnabout and switched over to compact / Lepton. So go figure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I still don't get why they decided to get rid of compact.

Google, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, etc pushing their browsers through their platforms would be the main reason. Most people don't care about the UI changes. Yes it was a little jarring at first. I've been using the new ui for a wh
