Fair enough. I just checked the AdGuard support forums. They agree that this feature can't work with the Content Blocker approach on macos. There's no way they can get any hooks in…

Why are you even bothering to type such things? I'm not talking about iOS in this sub-thread. The discussion here is about Safari on macos in the present day, not the effed up maco…

Hmmm... just tried AdGuard on a couple of high profile web sites using Safari. Sure, Adguard is working to some extent. On the first site - no ads. Whitespace where the ads would h…

Ooh. Thanks danaris! I thought I'd already tried AdGuard in the past... but I may be mistaken. Will install today and give it a spin. Ah cool: The Adguard website says that they've…

Do I believe that I'm Apple's target market? No. Do I believe they care about me as an individual? No, not really. However... I'm not seeing how your comment is relevant to my stat…

> I don't use Safari I really want to like Safari and I try every release, but I can't use it for more than a few minutes because the adverts that get through are just so unbelieva…

I don't diagree with you on some of the Dyson products being gimmicky with a premium price tag, and the air purifier does look suspect to me. However, the Dyson v11 cordless vacuum…

That's been my impression for as long as I can remember. Very puritanical compared to, say, Europe... and yet violence is no problem. I honestly don't think that I'll ever understa…

Agree - This GitHub theme is unfortunately too dark. Which is a shame, because I was genuinely excited to read that GH has released a dark mode. I use many dark mode themes and hav…

> Clojure and F# are my two favourite languages and I have similar experience Same. I have worked in both F# and Clojure profressionally. I love them both for different reasons. As…

It's just one of those things where the different context between countries doesn't translate well. In the UK, if you say "TCP" everybody knows that you're talking about the antise…

A lot of people don't seem to mind building on top of tech owned and developed by a telecommunications company - Erlang.

> The only members of the ML family that I'm aware of are Ocaml and the flavours of Standard ML. Only Ocaml is fit for production. F# is also a member of the ML family and is total…

Came here to ask the same thing. Infuriating as hell that we are forced to pay for something that not only we don't wish to use or support, but it also inflates the Windows sales f…

Electron contains the Chromium browser code, yes. But you still have to render to that browser. Electron also contains a back-end Node.js process and a bunch of related JS APIs for…

"Consider minimalist browsers like Min ..." Oh! Exciting! I dutifully went to check out the Min browser web page. "Oh shit, it's another Electron app". Noped it out of there.

Many people seem to be comparing Janet and Clojure here as if one had to choose to use only one or the other. Most of my daily work is done in Clojure or ClojureScript and that wil…

Disappointed? Not at all! I worked with it many years ago. Whilst WCF made some notable improvements over what existed within the ecosystem before it, it was still a sprawling, com…

Oooh. Nice details. I have bookmarked all of this info.

Thank you for taking time to write a detailed response.

Thanks. When you say "without much issue", have you ever lost more than a few hours to "required tinkering" over those years, or was it pretty much plain sailing? Anything else I s…
