addons do not use npapi, so vimperator, ublock, tab mix plus, etc will still work

"I wouldn't write anything big in <insert language>" is pretty much always a true statement. What changes it is the framework.

I can write a web application in some homebrew <insert language> and it can grow to 40 developers, 1000 db tables and thousands of files. But it would be terrible to work on (I know I've seen it). Or i can write the same thing with a framework, and have it much more manageable.

Realistically, when was the last time you say down and wrote a big application in vanilla <insert language>?

I wouldn't call imgur highly available. More like highly unavailable.

I still can't believe Soylent is a thing. What is wrong with food? People who want this make no sense to me. None at all.

Is this news? Because I've always assumed the tests are very biased. my car says it can get 70mpg in extra urban, yet it gets 54 max, I knew 70 was a lie when I bought it. Same with the tv, light bulbs, fridge and so on. In no way is any of it real world efficiency.

Very interesting. I'm always (ab)using cat for this, and I keep meaning to stop, but I forget. After seeing this I'll definitely stop.

Thanks!

or, here's a crazy idea, I keep adblocking, and keep my money?

I adblock not to block ads, but for privacy. I don't like being tracked, and using contributor won't fix that
