I just found out Brave supports Vertical tabs, https://brave.com/blog/vertical-tabs/ I might have to try switching from FF...
Firefox has vertical tabs...

Advocates of the C approach often gloss over the increased maintenance burden, especially when it comes to security issues. In essence, you’re signing up to maintain a limited fork & watch for CVEs separately from upstream. So it's ultimately a trade off rather than a strictly superior solution. Also, nothing in Rust prevents you from doing the same thing. In fact, I would argue that Cargo makes this process easier.
But that's what Linux distros are for, package maintainers watch the CVEs for you, and all you have to do is "apt upgrade"
The distros try, but one complex problem with a project that holds strong opinions and you may not have a fix.
The gnome keyring secrets being available to any process running under your UID, unless that process ops into a proxy as an example.
Looking at how every browser and busybox is exempted from apparmor is another.
It is not uncommon to punt the responsibility to users.
I haven't seen an ad nor in iOS nor in Mac since I installed brave. The browser, for me , works perfect

> You’re looking at the number of dependents. The React package has no dependencies. Indeed. My apologies for misinterpreting the link that I posted. Consider "devDependencies" here https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/main/package.json As far as I know, these 100+ dev dependencies are installed by default. Yes, you can probably avoid it, but it will likely break something during the build process, and most people…
> As far as I know, these 100+ dev dependencies are installed by default. devDependencies should only be installed if you're developing the React library itself. They won't be installed if you just depend on React.

> I'd like to have a stable Rust ABI to make safe plugin systems A stable ABI would allow making more robust Rust-Rust plugin systems, but I wouldn't consider that "safe"; dynamic linking is just fundamentally unsafe. > Large binaries could also be broken down into dynamic libraries and make rebuilds much faster at the cost of leaving some optimizations on the table. This can already be done within a single project b…
Loading dynamic libraries can fail for many reasons but once loaded and validated it should be no more unsafe than regular crates?

Yes. Since for blocking you can afford to have a less mature CSS engine. A tradeoff for performance.
I wonder if anti-adblock devs will ever take advantage of the difference between the two
Easylist will contact you, strongarm you into disabling your countermeasures and threaten to block all JS on your page if you don't comply.
So no ad servers can load, no prebid, nothing will function/load if the user has an adblocker that uses easylist (all of them) installed.
They could cut it 110%, so my available RAM grew bigger, and I would still not trust them. They have been caught with their hands deep in the cookie jar too many times.
Can you elaborate?
> In 2022, Brave faced further criticism for bundling its paid virtual private network (VPN) product, Brave Firewall + VPN, into installations of its Windows browser, even for users who had not subscribed to the service

> They won't be installed if you just depend on React. Please correct me if I am wrong, here's my understanding. "npm install installs both dependencies and dev-dependencies unless NODE_ENV is set to production."

Edit: I misremembered a Rust crates capability (pre- and post-install hooks), so my comment was useless and misleading.
Rust crates can run arbitrary code at build time: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-scripts.html
Oh lord.
162 to 104 is not 75% reduction... Who calculates reduction percentage like that?!
