HN itself? Nope. Many publisher sites do benefit however. Especially local news sites that likely can't attract the best tech talent and/or contract out pages to be shoveled out by contractors. Re: Abuse of AMP. AMP places sane re

Being forced to instead load some (almost universally awful) publisher site w/ 72 MB of JavaScript & CSS, absurdly intrusive ads popping up as you try to read, etc.... is an improved experience?

The macOS app store didn't gain much traction but you're underestimating just how much of a cease pool the Windows app store is. Microsoft must have the resources to moderate that better. But based on my last test search of "

It can be an almost drop in replacement for many projects. You may have to lean on the officially offered https://github.com/developit/preact-compat depending on the project. If you add preact-compact you do lose some

Just as a thought experiment if every piece of software had a similar clause in their license it would mark the end of software patents. Isn't this what we actually want more of? Isn't _that_ actually the moral high ground?

Brave's features are not an extension. It's is a fork of Chromium. Any mechanism they include in their build has none of the limitations extensions have and they're not extensions at all.

Other than name/logo what's the difference? Brave allows you to block all scripts by default and only whitelist specific sites.

NoScript is also integrated into https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brave.brow... This uses Chrome so there's likely higher compatibility with mobile sites

Surely there's nuance but the false equivalence here is pretty stunning. Reminds me of a conversation I had with a co-worker who is from China when he said something along the lines of, "There's censorship in America too! The

It would be interesting to see benchmarks on load time. This seems to be absent in many of these types of posts so it's not a clear what impact these efforts have on end users.

You can still cache the response you just don't get to see what the response was. For those types of resources it's best to only fallback to using them if the user is offline.

Right you have a way to manually whitelist sites on your own as well. But it wouldn't surprise me if that whitelist came preloaded with a number of legit video sites (netflix, youtube, etc...)

They still have a "Play" button, no? It's possible there may be some whitelist as well.
