blangk··on Tell HN: I just updated my wife's Chrome, and uBlock is no longer supported
Its not even that. They say its more complicated but it's basically the exact same thing. Registry entry's are arguably the windows equivalent of a Mac os plist.
blangk··on Critics, not fans, perpetuate the failed second album myth, study shows
Quite the critique.
