• I know everyone is excited to play but these TOS and TOU is ridiculous. Very invasive.

  Here's a site that does score popular sites we all use on a daily basis & breaks what their policies say in laymen terms: https://privacyspy.org/. Source: about 1 year ago

• It looks like I’m moving to Mastodon

  Yeah, I'd really like an option for permanent E2EE on all platforms but I trust Telegram with my data. As long as they're not selling it to advertisers and their apps remain FOSS, I'm fine with sharing my data. I also really like Telegram's privacy policy (https://privacyspy.org), which is why I'm okay with cloud side encryption instead of E2E. Every E2EE app that I've tried in the past, has been a UX nightmare... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Removing SMS support from Signal Android (soon)

• Any way to remove ads from Twitch?

  You can upgrade the uBlock blocking mode to something better than what you are currently using, the Raymond Hill(or just gorhill)'s wiki explains how to do it. Https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode. Source: about 1 year ago

• uBlacklist – Block specific sites from appearing in Google search results

  My mind immediately went to uMatrix or uBlockOrigin. Just want to note that, so far as I can tell, this is not associated with the author (gorhill) of those other tools: https://github.com/gorhill. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• I would like to express my gratefulness to gorhill.

  I was feeling the same, just yesterday. Nothing but respect for gorhill. Source: about 2 years ago

• uBlock Origin becomes #1 addon on Firefox beating Adblock Plus

  Today though, I'd recommend skimming through uBlock Origin's Github readme: https://github.com/gorhill. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• UBlacklist – Extension to blacklist sies from appearing in Google Search results

  I think trying to piggy-back upon the success of Gorhill's uBlock and uMatrix with your naming, is a bit snidey. https://github.com/gorhill. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
