I doubt even 10% of European citizens would pay even 5$ per year for that as long there are adblockers.

Now, if the content is worth it, that's different story. There have always been subscription based websites (e.g. forums with pay-to-upgrade schemes).

Why webmasters and advertisers haven't yet perfected and adopted server-side ad injections is beyond me.

It's really hard to fake paper voting IMO.

I'm a Greek citizen. At the voting place of the city where I was born and am registered since, there are many rooms. Depending on the initial letters of your last name, you have to go and vote in a specific one. Each room has at least two randomly conscripted citizens, responsible to strike out your name from the list they have, once you drop your single vote envelope. Reminds me of the jury duty of USA citizens. Every few rooms have police officers (very possibly also randomly chosen) inspecting and protecting the procedure.

I get constant UI freezes on Gmail (very alike to those I get on reddit), not sure if it's because of the adblocking software or because I'm using Firefox.

On the other hand, youtube works flawlessly. It's mindblowing what is possible when a company has the resources to optimize their software.

Does anyone have an idea on how this exploit could have worked? If only the hacker(s) would write a blog article or make a LiveOverflow-style video about it. It would be quite entertaining. I'd be so curious/intrigued to know more about this specific exploit, it's a shame it wasn't a responsible disclosure from a white-hat.

Reducing their userbase is exactly their aim. They are doing that the only way possible that won't bat an eye. Firefox has to grow so that chrome is no longer considered a monopoly.

I'd take 1000 spiders over 100 mosquitos anytime. I consider spiders to be most useful insects you could have infesting your house, though on the other hand I wouldn't feel comfortable if I saw more than a couple in a room.

As a European I can't help but wonder if other proposed reforms, such as Article 11 and Article 13, will do more good to the end user than not, just like what happened with GDPR.

I've seen so many enraged comments related to the new copyright laws, that my instinct says it will be a good thing.

In Greece there's skroutz and bestprice, which are price compare and online store review websites.
