What if the owner has a different opinion than you of what is offending and what is not? They get to remove sites you think are good and keep sites you think are bad. In the end, t…

I use bugmenot for websites that require an account to browse or to download stuff (looking at you Qt), it works most of the time

I think it's possible in professional edition but you have to be offline on home edition. (I messed up and installed pro for a home key, so I did it back to back with same ISO)

I reinstalled a computer about a month ago, same thing but I didn't have to mess with BIOS settings, going back 2 steps and disconnecting the wifi worked.

With BitWaden FF, you can use Ctrl+Shift+L to auto fill your most recently used account for the current website. Hope it helps.

Not so long ago I had to register to a website allowing a comma (or was it a semicolon?) in a password during registration but refusing to login using said password. Fun times.

On your second link I can directly right click and save, on others (like Twitter) I just have to shift right click to bypass the blocking scripts. (Firefox desktop with multiple pr…

Tall, round face, short hair, wearing glasses, with mustache and beard, thick eyebrows. There are still plenty of ways to describe someone's face without using colors, but to be pe…

A bit off topic, but I hope I'll find I'm not alone: my "mind" is color-blind to some degree. It's very hard for me to remember colors, if someone cut their hair I'll notice it eas…
