I like ads, but detest cookie banners.

Good ads can teach you a lesson about copywriting or storytelling, cookie banners are pure time wasters.

Yes, I don't know anyone who uses Guice, but lots of people who use Spring. The momentum was never there, nor it will be.

This trend will benefit big companies and harm small local companies.

Hiring abroad is not as easy as you might think, usually you need to establish legal presence in the other country and other requirements. And who has resources to do that? Bingo, big companies. Small local companies will be left unable to compete, as they will be forced to hire locally, at higher expense.

Extensions will still be able to read all the requests, just not block them, so Google's argument for privacy is moot.

Given that one of the biggest performance hogs are the ads and tracking scripts on a page, the argument for performance seems sketchy too.

I don't use adblockers myself, as I actually like seeing ads, but Google's arguments are very weak here.

- One tap to enter Picture-in-picture mode in Safari when watching YouTube.

- Choosing an emoji in WhatsApp Desktop.

- Pausing and seeing a podcast's listening progress in Apple Podcasts, even when the app is in the background.

- Compiling in Android Studio.

I have a physical ESC key, so I don't have a problem with the touchbar.
