Ever wondered why the quality of websites seems to go down? Well, here is a case study of what you end up needing to do if you try to fund a website through ads (like most websites).

This is a worrying trend we see in law enforcement a bit everywhere. It's a bit too convenient to make such requests even though it is unconstitutional.

I'm not sure if it's malice... but for sure they harmed RSS use a lot during the years.

Things don't look great in this giant... it's astonishing how much eroding vision and transparency can hurt an organization.

Nice call from Mozilla to make this public. This way it is very obvious where the blockers are on some platforms.

An important question for proper statistics about the content itself. Surprisingly harder to get an answer to it than one would think.

Interesting finding. This shows a potential issue in how identities are verified by providers.

There will be an appeal but this is an important ruling already.

Let's hope it won't get there... I wish people would abandon Chrome en masse. I unfortunately don't see it happening and it'll just weaken the Web.

Still using Chrome? What are you waiting for to change for another browser which doesn't play against your interests.

I guess it's a strategy to move more people over to Chrome. Shameful.

Half a rant but interesting... Why are people making popular solutions to problems they'll never have? Just because it's been released by Google?

After the backlash about WEI on Chrome, now they're going for something similar but scoped only for medias. At least now things are clear that it was mainly about pushing for DRMs to serve media producers.

Some people lash out at the wrong group... they should be angry at YouTube not at the tiny team making the extension trying to help block the ads.

This is a bad case of content moderation if it gets presented to users like this... but Google is not going to leave advertisement money on the table. The way browsers changed in recent years also make this kind of deceptions easier (harder to check certificates, hard to spot punycoding).

Why you can't trust this kind of proprietary software...

If you're still using Chrome, maybe you shouldn't... They're clearly making it easier to overcome ad blocker and the tracking won't be a third party thing anymore, this browser will directly report on your behavior.

Good reminder on how the W3C works and what it evaluates. If Web Environment Integrity would become a "standard" it'd likely be more of a "de facto" thing because a major player shoved it everyone's throat.

This is based on fingerprinting and sometimes fail. If Web Environment Integrity gets through it'll be just worse.

Excellent piece against the Web Environment Integrity proposal from Google.
