The first thing you need to know when a game is released is how many people are watching it on Twitch.

Currently, after #1 Just Chatting category with 445K viewers, Black Myth: Wukong sits at #2 with 246K viewers.

There are also some popular streamers which have streamed playing the game or the Gamescom event.

You can also try Brave which blocks ads and trackers. And is based on firefox afaik.

In this paper, we explore the capabilities, the current prevalence and technical limitations of this new tracking technique based on three commercial tracking solutions.

To this end, we develop detection approaches for ultrasonic beacons and Android applications capable of processing these. Our findings confirm our privacy concerns:

We spot ultrasonic beacons in various web media content and detect signals in 4 of 35 stores in two European cities that are used for location tracking.

While we do not find ultrasonic beacons in TV streams from 7 countries, we spot 234 Android applications that are constantly listening for ultrasonic beacons in the background without the user’s knowledge.

opece.eu

This is an example of likejacking website. The text is in romanian and it's says it's donating an apartment via a contest if you fill that form.

The "Trimite" (Send) button is where the like jacking occurs.

At the start I payed 60 euros pe year but I ditched them when they had those high prices and no 'infinite plan'.

Recently found Back Blaze and I'm sticking with them plus they are cheaper.

Re:Writing Extensions for Firefox Is Barely Worth the Trouble on Monday September 08, 2014 @03:28PM (#8286681)
Had the same issue and decided to upload it on the main site and just link to the extension. At least until they approve your extension.

Also, those sidebar images with links are really bugging me. See screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/6hbFTqm.png .

Just add the following one-liner to the main stylesheet and to fix it: .meta img { max-width: 100%; height:auto;}
