It's fine to criticize Safari and encourage Apple to do better in the space, since Apple isn't super incentivized to improve Safari. But this narrative that always targets the browser with the smallest feature-set at any given time will only stop when all browsers are Chromium based. (At which point they'll start complaining about other browsers using a Chromium version that's slightly behind Chrome.)

My mistake was obviously typing in the search bar at the top of the screen. I should have edited the address in the address bar manually. If you don’t have the extension installed, the search bar serves only to take you to an ad to install it.

A UI element that appear to be a search box but is actually an ad for your extension, I would characterize as user hostile design.

Google’s practices, if you don’t agree with them, doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want because you’re the little guy. Offering an extension is fine. But disabling searching if the extension isn’t installed is not helpful.

Could you expand on this a bit?

A lot of this thread seems to be coming down to opinions. Are there specific moderation features that Discord lacks?

> That’s extremely similar to the MacBook Pro and Monterey issues I’ve read this week—except I’m still running Big Sur.

This demo doesn’t mention cookies. screen size, cache, etc, which could be used to further differentiate.

This article is less of a tech demo and more of an introductory article to how some fingerprinting works.

So I would build the query like so:

    from urllib.parse import urlencode
    urlencode({
        "action": "query",
        "format": "json",
        ...
        "gscoord": f"{str(latitude.value)}|{str(longitude.value)}",
    })

Is this meta-data, the stuff outside the rankings, hand-entered?
