Behold, the pinnacle of human achievement: a browser extension that mindlessly clicks ads while you mindlessly scroll. Finally, the internet is saved by a script that’s about as effective as smashing your keyboard with your forehead. Enjoy your newfound privacy as advertisers drown in a sea of fake clicks—truly revolutionary!

It’s my idea, or some sites have started to show a new wave of ads that will block content unless you disable the #AdBlocker?

shevabam/get-rss-feed-url-extension: Retrieve RSS feeds URLs from WebSite - Chrome Extension

A simple yet effective tool for the RSS data mining toolbox. The browser extension simplifies the process of finding RSS feed URLs by displaying them directly. No more digging through a website's source code for RSS or Atom meta tags.

The extension does not collect or store any user information.

I've never heard about the browser extension Honey. I've also never heard about MegaLag until I watched the video below.

Well, as the creator behind MegaLag explains, Honey is a scam.

1. It steals commissions from those creators that use affiliate links.

2. It steals from *you* by not finding the best discounts.

I don't understand how they are not being sued.

Is there a local tool that I can use to generate custom feeds from any web pages?
Desktop (#macOS app or #BrowserExtension ) preferred.

It's #BandcampFriday ! Go support some artists over at bandcamp.com with 100% of your purchase going to them.

I am a harsh critic of #UX choices, particularly when it comes to color. Being a bit color blind/color disadvantaged means that a lot of websites are nearly unreadable to me. Many #bandcamp pages in particular trigger this problem for me, since the color scheme of a given artist's bandcamp page is left entirely up to them... and clearly they haven't gone to web design school.

I take matters into my own hands. I have the excellent browser extension #Stylus which lets me override style choices with my own #CSS choices.

In particular, if you also suffer from #ColorBlind issues, you may find this useful --> https://userstyles.world/style/19666/bandcamp-com

I'll just remind people that you can install browser extensions like Ultimasaurus that allow you to ignore Google's AI Overviews.

Alternatively, you can switch to the Brave browser and use Brave Search, where you are in control over when you see the AI summaries.

If you've been too lazy or to criminal (I don't care, which one) to set the permissions required for your #browserExtension to "all", I will not install this #privacy hellhole unless there is a very VERY good reasons, they are absolutely needed
