We just ran into this testing web filtering with Cloudflare DNS. You are correct that iCloud Private Relay bypasses the configured DNS servers, but there is another spot - the "Advanced Tracking and Fingerprint Protection" that is a setting in Safari (Settings, Safari, Advanced Settings.) It is on by default for the Private Mode browsing.
Yes, it's on by default, but you can turn this off if you want to. https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/disable-xfinity-wif...

The posting links to the blog post about the tool, but if you click on Mac Monitor at the bottom of the page under Products and Solutions it takes you to the actual page for the tool and that page has the big red download button everyone is talking about..

One of the comments on that article refutes that claim: That is not the first car ad, although the claim has long been made. https://www.macsmotorcitygarage.com/americas-first-automobil...?
Re:A web app to generate valid QR codes with readable images on Tuesday February 01, 2022 @04:12PM (#30169353)
My iPhone 12 pro Max, with the latest iOS, picked up all four. The first three fairly easily, the last one I had to keep moving the phone in and out before it showed. That said, none of them kept the link constantly and it was a bit tricky to hold it still enough once it found the link to tap it. (The link was to a YouTube video about QR image codes..)

The tuna fish + clown face rendering an actual clown fish (finding Nemo style) is my favorite so far.

I find the taste of the hand mixed one to be an improvement on the premade bottled one. Although my preference for the taste may be nostalgic as that is what my parents and grandparents did as well.
Re:Amazon launches its newest private label, Wickedly Prime on Friday December 23, 2016 @06:16PM (#13247742)
It is weird, the article even says further down "The retailer seems to know what it’s doing, too. An earlier report from 1010data found that Amazon’s private label brands were taking over market share in their respective categories, including speakers (thanks to Amazon Echo), baby wipes (Amazon Elements), and batteries (AmazonBasics)."

If you use the mushroom you can not only make Mario larger, but other objects too.
Re:The Navigation Bar Is an Affordance, Stop Removing It on Thursday January 14, 2016 @02:38PM (#10903837)
It was blank for me on Firefox too, until I resized it smaller (by accident) and the content showed up..

Hulu did just recently add an ad free version: http://www.hulu.com/nocommercials. It's $12/month, whereas the ad version is still $8/month.

I noticed this too, you can however lightly double tap (don't click) the home button and it brings the top half off the screen down to the middle of the screen.
