Coral doesn't typically die due to rising ocean temperatures... it flees the reef. I think these articles are trying to be contrarian on semantics. Not great.

Really cool - I was just reading this and worrying about cross scripting attacks: https://adamj.eu/tech/2020/02/18/safely-including-data-for-j...

Could see your site being really useful as a linting/ci tool. Is that where you're planning on taking it?

Glad they explore what the modern day equivalent of burning books is... not a precise comparison but good to noodle on. "Ovenden sees myriad threats to knowledge amid this ‘digital deluge’. There is ‘linkrot’, those links that lead you to websites that are no longer available. There are denial-of-service-type cyberattacks, like the one that crippled Estonia in 2007, which see websites bombarded with queries, overwhelming servers and causing them to crash (even the Bodleian has been targeted). There is ‘fake news’, as well as ‘alternative facts’, and the manipulation or intentional erasure of data. Ovenden sees the emergence of ‘private knowledge kingdoms’ and ‘surveillance capitalism’ as particular threats: a ‘disproportionate amount of the world’s memory has now been outsourced to tech companies without society realising the fact or really being able to comprehend the consequences’."

Hi! Super cool extension for readers, seems easy for publishers too. I like that it isn't baked into the browser like the Brave BAT.

Just curious - what split have you seen so far between readers picking ads v micropayments?

Question before I try it out -How do you serve up ads? Are you a part of a network? I noticed you collect all data from sites with the extension, curious to know if the ad alternative is collecting my data and targeting me with personalized ads.

"High uniqueness hold seven when histories are truncated to just 100 top sites." This is similar to the app finger printing they do with mobile phones, identify you by the unique assortment of apps on your device.

Should the top concern be about identification or deep collection of browsing history?

Cool investigation. Thanks for sharing. Have you analyzed what data Marvin collects in each session? Before switching I'd want to see a comparison.

Thanks for sharing - can be super hard as a solo founder. Even harder to be honest about challenges.
