Disappointed how you got there but that Clines series is great. Go back and read 14.

All retconned out by the recent cartoon if I saw correctly.

Pretty sure I got that book at a Scholastic Book Fair. I could not get enough Gremlins when it came out.

In the book adaptation (for kids) they were revealed to be a bioengineered peace offering between alien species in a galactic U.N. and the transformation was completely accidental.

Just in case you wanted some more nonsense to boggle at. Like when does midnight happen in space.

Somehow I completely get how House of Leaves belongs on this shelf.

(The mobile situation sucks all around. Not much you can do there.)

There are talks of a hard fork from Firefox but modern browsers are massive projects. Would take enormous organizational effort and corporate sponsored devs to be at all functional, assuming sufficient volunteer and user interest.

Firefox has Waterfox and LibreWolf privacy forward soft forks. I haven't tried LibreWolf. Waterfox is mostly great but has a little jank around the edges. Unfortunately neither has mobile versions. Waterfox does still work with Mozilla profile sync, so you can use it on desktop and FX on mobile.

It's important for an open, progressing Web that we have a variety of browsers, so yeah I still think it's important to choose Not Chromium. But also disallowed ad-blocking is a non-starter for me.

But even if everyone knew how to turn it off, and even if they made it opt-in as they should for anything this significant, it's really the fact that they're doing it at all that's the problem.

Google is no better. Worse in several ways, really. And in the end we need to push back against monopoly.

It's a mess. They're trying to do damage control by telling people that it can all be disabled. I'm sure that's true, for people who know how to get into about:config and find the obscure keys like we've been doing. But most people won't, so they'll be subject to the normalization campaign.
