• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok is blocking searches for WGA amid the ongoing writers strike⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Update (9/11/23): A TikTok spokesperson told Media Matters that “WGA has been inadvertently blocked as part of the platforms’ protections against QAnon conspiracy theories.” Searches for “WGA” and related terms now appear to function normally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox to become first mobile browser to support desktop extensions later this year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Kudos to them for rolling out support more widely, but it’s a bit misleading as Firefox nightly/Fennec has supported extensions for years (albeit via a cumbersome process), and Kiwi Browser is also a thing.

  I can’t understand how folks out there are just rawdogging the Internet out there without ublock or at least a DNS ad filter. Admittedly, Chrome runs a hair more smoothly, but the ability to use extensions like uBlock / DarkReader / Consent-O-Matic make the Firefox experience a tier above.

  I just hope this makes it possible to install the Bypass Paywalls extension again so I don’t have to hop over to Kiwi for that.
