What if you are a merchant that needs to sell to O(10) countries? Integrating with each country's domestic payment rail is not feasible.

I've always wondered if part of the root issue is that Same-Origin Policy, and CORS by extension, were not very intuitively designed abstractions/APIs to begin with.

How do they determine whether a PR is AI-assisted and therefore requires senior review? A junior engineer could still copy-paste AI-generated code and claim it as their own.

Would this also affect chrome extensions? For example, when an extension makes a request to a 3rd-party domain, browsers by default pass all the cookies associated with that domain to the server. AFAIU, these cookies are considered to be 3rd-party.

Porting this extension to Firefox should be relatively straightforward using the webextension polyfill: https://github.com/mozilla/webextension-polyfill

Shameless plug: I've built the unofficial "Hide My Email" browser extension [0], available both in Firefox [1] and Chromium [2]. Tried to make it as frictionless as the Safari UX, which proved to be a challenge given the lack of native HME APIs.

It's funny that geohot/tinygrad chooses to not meet the PEP8 standards [0] just to stay on brand (<1000 lines). Black [1] or any other python autoformatter would probably 2x the lines of code.

I'd say 2-4 days is the median. There have been 2 instances of me needing to wait 2 weeks for a one-liner.

Well, in this instance remote code actually means remote. In V3 one can no longer use the tabs.executeScript API [1] in which you could pass an arbitrary server rendered string.

> Benefits of the Manifest V3: none

V3 not allowing remote code execution is actually a serious benefit. Of course, this does not negate the fact that V3 is mainly there to boost the ad ecosystem of Google, but I'd never want my screen casting extension to be mining bitcoin on the background. That said, I'm not sure how this is going to scale long term, given that it sometimes takes 2+ weeks for the web store review team to approve a genuine one-line change. Lack of RCE is only going to make this review backlog bigger.

Oh actually SingleFile is not attempting to set the headers but modify them, which seems to not be possible with V3. That makes sense.
