Indeed. The whole "post" is so cringe-inducing it is unbearable.

Luckily the easy fix is available: Do not use Safari.

You probably got downvoted because you admitted your failure of using the WWW. The problem you describe only happens on "recipe" websites that are 99% advertising and written like a blog, with every other word set in bold to maximize the ad revenue. These websites should be avoided entirely. Proper recipe sites include en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Table_of_Contents, based.cooking and of course https://web.archive.org/web/20110323153937/http://www.ottavi...

Everyone on HN should be able to write a custom stylesheet, this is really not an issue.

Just use a proper browser that lets you add custom stylesheets, it literally takes 5min in CSS to invert the colors.

I always avoided powershell, because it used to have a loading time that is longer than a second even on a modern system. But after your post I thought I give it a try.

The first thing you encounter is a .tar.gz file that does not extract into its own subdirectory. Instead it pollutes the current directory with 273 different files, which is just plain incompetent.

Then, the pwsh executable is not marked as executable, so you have to manually chmod +x on it which is just stupid.

Finally, pwsh has a loading time of 273ms for its 70 MB "bundle", which is okay I guess, but imagine running your scripts with that overhead. fish has 32ms on my system, and plain old bash 4ms.

> I will not engage further, it's obvious you are not interested in honest discussion of the technical merits.

Well you are neither, all you do is throw unobjective flames around ("gnupg is trash") and post various claims about bad security without backing them up, implicitly demanding that other people do the leg work of disproving your accusations against the GNU project.

Are you working for Apple by any chance?

The point is that "people whose job content is" should just get a regular job, where they actually contribute something valuable to society. All these "news" websites that are 90% ads can just die, to make room for valuable sites in the search results.

I like how you talk about as if this was an exciting new feature, when in reality this is something that ublock had for at least five years.
