No matter what you are using, they are always there, editable/hackable.

However I would argue that it makes it slightly harder to make any change. You no longer have a single class with all the styles that are affecting that element.

You can change the classes in the harder to read html, or override the single element. There is no longer the possibility to, for example, affect all .primary-btns.

One should not look to be unreplaceable, but rather the opposite.

Only when you become replaceable at a certain task (or able to delegate it) you can progress to do new (more interesting) things.

Please start on coding tests. I'm interested to read your opinion on that.

or server libraries for tha matter.

Everyone's experience differs quite a bit depending on the used client library (plain, apollo or relay) or the server library specific for your server languages.

You might need to enable cookies in wikipedia, otherwise they won't know who you are and that you've already donated.

I would say that wikipedia is a good example of an honest way of using ads.

Re:How LinkedIn detects browser extensions on Tuesday January 08, 2019 @05:14AM (#18854558)
The written tone used in the repo comes of as too drastic, specially as it only reports the collection of analytics on how LinkedIn users use the website.

Is the detection result reported back to LinkedIn?

In their [Privacy Policy](https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#your_device_an...) they do mention they collect information on "web browser and add-ons".

This reminds me of similar approaches used in other environments. For example in the game industry, anti-cheat techniques of detecting the running software in mobile devices to flag users. How do you think this differs?

"The linked posts dismiss this early because of the possibility to cause DDOS, but really, you can already do that from a hacked desktop "Quake", so there is no harm in being able to do it from a browser-based "Quake"."

No same-origin-policy would be lovely combined with XSS vulnerabilities.

Suddenly all the visitors of that website would be doing DDOS on a random host.

Well Done everyone!
12" netbooks are just too big. If it has 12" screen it better be a "fully" powered laptop.

Todays netbooks are too limited to even deserve a screen bigger than 10" and I guess the main purpose of a netbook is to be small and portable.
