Tried it and I love it. Good work!
Have you considered hosting it on F-Droid?
Annoyingly, fetch does not support progress events and HTML / XML Document parsing, which are both supported by XMLHttpRequest, which Axios is based on.

Until you notice the carbon emissions on the top left.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
Would you extend that argument to tabbed interfaces as well? Why should browsers support tabs (and an inconsistent interface by each vendor), when you can just open a new window instead?
Won't the fibres leading up to the operator and revealing their location not a threat?

That's assuming all interviewers are using AI. And if it's not immoral, why do it surreptitiously?
I don't use LLMs to filter out participants and I expect candidates not to use LLMs to cheat.
As an interviewer, I'm seeing a huge increase in proportion of candidates cheating surreptitiously during video interviews. And it's becoming difficult to suspect any wrong-doing unless you're very watchful by looking for academic responses to questions.
Why would anyone encourage building such a tool, I can't fathom.

Uber in India gives me a different OTP for each ride. A different ride-hailing app I use occasionally uses a PIN tied to a user.
OTPs are a simple solution to fraudulent rides that it's surprising it's not implemented universally, given all the complaints in this thread.
I've disabled DRM on my Firefox browser.
Sheesh, we've come to a state where browsers can no longer be referred to as "user agents".
While I agree with the sentiment, just out of curiosity, would you buy a Tesla if it meets your needs and even if you disapprove of Elon's actions?
The main question for me is can ungoogled Chromium run uBlock Origin?

And what did they get trained on in the first place?
Especially when you consider humans are animals too.
I continue to use TrebleShot[0] although it's repo is archived since it also enables browsing files using a Web browser. So you don't need to install it on the receiver side.
Does LocalSend also have this capability?

“twenty-five” is counted as a single word. I know because I once sent a telegram with such a number.

Looks at uBlock Origin. Yep, requests to convertkit.com and sonnet-events.vercel.app are blocked.
Hasn't the supposed weirdness of the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment been debunked? Can someone in the field please confirm? I find contradictory videos on YouTube.
