Schizoid doesn't colloquially refer to schizophrenia.

For most of us driver memory bugs are extremely rare and therefore a 2-14% performance drop is bonkers.

Google does not send emails to spam just because it doesn't like the politics of what is being said in the email, so no, it's not the same thing.
Also when Google sends something to spam you can still read it. What "Amnesty International" is asking for here is making it impossible for people to read what some people say.

Spam is by definition messages that the recipient does not want to receive. Given what happened in Myanmar it looks like these people did want to receive those messages - but some organisations like "Amnesty International" didn't want those users to receive those messages. That is not a spam issue, that is a censorship issue.

Under "Scripting API" it says "the code parameter is removed so that arbitrary strings can no longer be executed [...] you need to move any arbitrary strings executed as scripts to files". I don't see how something like greasemonkey can continue existing given that limitation.

I read somewhere that even though Mozilla will continue supporting the ad blocking API from manifest v2, the rest of manifest v2 will be completely dropped so most of the extensions that I use like greasemonkey will stop working. Is that true?

The right move is letting countries govern themselves in whatever way they see fit and leaving them alone.
Or would you like to have Iran or Pakistan or whatever intervening in the domestic issues of the West?

The same bullshit as carbon credits: we make up a number, make companies pay it, and feel good about ourselves.
