Who doesn't want to kill that security, privacy, performance nightmare?

I'll quote some of Abe Dillon's comment on that video: > This is an industry insider telling you, "No. More FPS is not more better. Adherence to 24 FPS is a deliberate choice by film makers themselves." > Go check

Probably the only useful way to fight Google is to promote non-Google controlled web browsers with adblockers.

60 fps is probably not that important for most movies and tv shows though, but it's a bit annoying to watch music videos at 24 fps.

Sure, it's technically possible, but it's an order of magnitude more work.

I wrote a security focused javascript, ad and annoyance blocking extension for myself, which is essentially a CSP, script and style injector with keyboard shortcuts. I don't see how utilities can help here.

A lot of extensions are made because people need them for themselves, not to live of extension development. And this is something that can exist as a nice open source ecosystem with some oversight, like packages on a typical linux distro. A

There is no literal exactly once of course, because it's not physically possible, but "exactly-once" semantics are possible in distributed systems. Data can be resynchronized, processes can be restarted with the side effects

Not sure why you think this is odd. Visit google.com and witness image objects used for issuing tracking GET requests.
