Hold on a second... didn't you literally hand over a verified phone number when you signed up? Please tell me you used a burner SIM for that!

Of course, how else would I cycle between free accounts when my usage limit is up

Depending on countries, there is no such thing as a burner SIM card.

It is a "kill switch" - uBlock Origin will no longer work in Chrome 151 (July 28, 2026).

I'm far more faithful to Ublock Origin than I am any specific browser.

Sadly I don't think that's the general case, I've been on FF for decades but there isn't a universe where I use a browser without UBO at this point.

>but there isn't a universe where I use a browser without UBO at this point.

One wouldn't need to be loyal to UBO... a simple with-and-without comparison would be enough for anyone with a functioning brainstem.

Surprisingly full uBO still works on Chrome 146 if launched with the argument

I found this confusing as well. She probably meant to "Forget" the device when the Bluetooth pairing with the headphones is lost.

Hehe. Bought TP LINK TL-WR1043ND (one of the first models of affordable home routers with integrated gigabit switch) in 2012 for $40 (maybe $50, but not more), flashed OpenWrt and still using to this day.

For mostly static content like screencasts by dropping duplicate frames and producing variable framerate h.264 yuv444 videos with lossless encoding I was getting <100 kbps files for 1024x768 resolution more than a decade ago.

Someone has hijacked the name "uBlock Origin" (for an extension) in the Chrome Web Store. When you search for "uBlock Origin", you’re shown a fake extension (1,000 users) with a "Featured" badge instead of the real one (17,000,000 users) at https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin/cjpal...

How in the world did it get a Featured badge?

For that matter, how in the world did it get approved by Google? Asleep at the wheel.
