Even with uBlock Origin (59/31% of requests blocked), Tech Radar still manages to bombard you with popups, banners, cookie warnings, auto playing videos and ads. Annoying!

Medium blocking mode can help in sites like TechRadar

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium...

Enable all filters (except the "uBlock filters – Experimental "). My uBlock Origin blocked 58/38% and I got not a single annoyance on this article.

Anandtech and sites like it (including tech radar) are readable on a phone now that I have a pi hole set up. I should have done it a long time ago. I can't believe how little screen was left after all their junk in the way, I had to remember which sites to avoid.

No mention of Redox https://www.redox-os.org/

They forgot Plan 9 and derivatives They forgot all the BSDs They forgot Genode OS They forgot AROS / MORPHOS /AmigaOS

Someone from MS managed to hijack this too. There is a Windows ad at the bottom.

Such a weird list, Plan9 isn't on it but TempleOS is, seriously, wtf.

They forgot AROS http://aros.sourceforge.net

It's regrettable that they have FreeBSD but not TrueOS, which addresses the one con on the list out of the box.

No mention of Android, Fuchsia or Minix :(

> 6. FreeBSD The secure UNIX alternative

lol, they obviously didn't read the memo. Freebsd is insecure by default. https://vez.mrsk.me/freebsd-defaults.html

Poorly curated list. If you're looking to try something different - based on c# - cosmos - based on JavaScript

Ofcourse any of above the are production ready or

I still miss AmigaOS ... the emulations are fantastic, but just don't feel the same to me.

Check out AROS sometime, it's aiming to be binary comaptible and the feel is quite similar

Yeah, I had hoped to see AROS on the list, but alas, TempleOS is apparently more mainstream. :(

The website is terrible, as well as the content of the article. TempleOS, seriously?
