Describing this as a 'new wave of attacks' makes it sound like it's unprovoked, which it extremely was not. Which is a weird choice from an Iranian news org.
Interesting, I never even knew Brave had that stuff built in, i switched from Chrome years ago and installing ublock origin had already just become the default thing I do to any browser first thing by that point. Though I will note this line in the link you provided:
For as long as we’re able (and assuming the cooperation of the extension authors), Brave will continue to support some privacy-relevant MV2 extensions—specifically AdGuard, NoScript, uBlock Origin, and uMatrix
Which suggests that they're planning to eventually be forced into Manifest V3 (or something similar) to gimp those extensions, but I s'pose I'll give it a shot without ublock and see how it goes. Firefox has given me trouble in a bunch of ways (not remembering per-page zoom, hotkeys changing on me unexpectedly, issues with reddit/lemmy on long posts, etc) and I wouldn't mind switching back.
I liked Brave well enough, but I switched to Firefox when I learned Google was going to force Manifest V3's adblock-gimp into Chromium. I figure it's a matter of time before Chromium-based browsers like Brave are forced to either adopt it or fork Chromium and maintain it themselves, and I know which of those two seems more likely to me.
My nephew has a Pixel Fold and it's kinda neat and all, but he barely uses the unfold feature cause he just doesn't need a big screen most of the time so it's mostly just a really thick-ass phone. It's not even great for watching movies because it's a weird aspect ratio so you have big black bars on the top and/or sides.
Also we tried folding phones before, we called them flip phones, and the hinges were always the first thing to break.
Hm, that may be, I'll have to go poke at it, thank you.
It would suck for a while. Then it wouldn't.
I tried this before and it wouldn't boot off of drive #3 for some reason. When I hit F11 in the bios I can select 'Nobara (BPXP)' (BPXP is the people who made drive #3) and it works tho? shrug
Convince the US that Israeli accountability is in their geopolitical interests, because otherwise the US will continue to protect them and provide diplomatic cover against international law. And, uh, good luck with that.
I just mean I have strictly a layperson's understanding, wanted to make it clear I'm not claiming to have any insider information or any ability to actually predict what's likely to happen. I just read a lot of news.
Be sure to remember that I don't really know what I'm talking about and any predictions I make are likely to be wildly inaccurate, but otherwise I'm happy to help explain the situation a little bit.
Yeah, close to probably 10 years for me.
