  Will they use this to block their own “Chrome is dangerous and dumb and use our edge instead it’s so cool and safe” pop-ups?

  Lol. Totally unnecessary use of technology. Simple text and image hash matching would have done just fine.

    Yeah, what the hell is up with Outlook? My partner has an outlook email address and there’s more spam in her “focused” section than in her spam folder. It doesn’t seem like Outlook filters anything at all

      My uni used Exchange Server which is just self-hosted Outlook, and I got upwards of 10 spam emails a day

    The last few years watching the hype train and thinking that Nigerian prince emails, lottery winners and everything else still makes it through their pathetic email filters and they want to launch rocket ships with their omnipotent AI? GTFO

    Google did this and failed, epically. Thankfully they reverted it.

  Hello, my name is clippy, by law I’m forced to announce when I move in the neighborhood. I live in that browser over there.
