justanother-··on Google backtracks on Chrome modifications that would have crippled ad blockers
Well quite frankly, I dont care what google does. I am doing if old school since forever, squid proxy doint mitm. And it works for all my OSes from android to linux laptop. It is not as easy to set up as in browser ads blockers, but is completly out of control of browser and ad blockers or OS vendor. Anyway there is firefox too, while for chrome, as everything from google, I can only say - I told you so (10 years back).

Btw, it is quite interesting, that over all those "we were right" years, people are still trying to confort themself about how great their favorite brand is, we have a saying that even donkey walks on ice only once.

Taken from some other thread: "Most "unix" admins only know linux and will advocate for it vigorously because it is so much better than.. "what do you use again? Fedora? Ah, FreeBSD, something with F, I knew it!""

Sure, but there were 19 years of time proofing them. Each product has vulnerabilities which get weeded out when time passes. And for kata and docker, in context of what they are used for, they are bleeding edge.

(from a technical perspective, you would be running jails for years too - so much about platform loyality)

Alternative idea: throw away docker and katacontainers and move to freebsd, where jails were introduced on 14 Mar 2000 (no, seriously, superior technology exists for 19 years - stable, time proven, working).
