if you have any feedback or suggestions, let me know. I moved this to replit a while back and it's really easy to iterate now.

Just got around to updating this to support MV3. Has been featured on HN a few times. I make this in my spare time to support user privacy. Free extension (has been for years).Mods: Would be awesome if this could hit front page so people can benefit

Re:Crypto collapse: Binance is not so fine, FTX Delaware vs. FTX Bahamas on Monday December 19, 2022 @12:11AM (#34048739)
this article is misleading, not very good journalism to be honest. I’m not a crypto bull or bear, but looking at how the “facts” are presented in this article you can clearly see the bias.

Lex Fridman’s podcast had an ex-CIA agent on it recently and he mentioned how bcs of issues like this in Europe the war in Ukraine has to end by the fall. His words were “NATO needs Russian sanctions lifted”. He implied the war will be over by the fall (in his assessment).

I wonder if this will be one of the “Show HN: Dropbox” type threads in a few years…
Re:U.S. Supreme Court revives LinkedIn bid to shield personal data on Tuesday June 15, 2021 @06:00AM (#27513132)
you have to watch the video of the actual court proceedings. a core issue is that LinkedIn knew hIQ was scraping their website and allowed them to do this until they started launching similar features. hIQ has a strong argument around this point and evidence proving so.

Re:17-16783 HiQ Labs, Inc. V. LinkedIn Corporation on Wednesday October 03, 2018 @12:20AM (#18127599)
this is an incredibly interesting case. Highly recommend anyone involved with public data to watch this video.

Note: Mods - I submitted this late at night, but if you could bump this to front page tomorrow, I'm sure it would be very useful watch for many startup founders/employees :)

It's actually open source. You can find it on github. Or you can view source yourself.
Re:PixelBlock – Gmail extension that blocks email open tracking on Monday August 27, 2018 @07:33PM (#17855404)
I think the point of the extension is that you can keep images _on_ and not have to worry about people tracking your opens. I would imagine the majority of Gmail users keep images on
Re:PixelBlock – Gmail extension that blocks email open tracking on Monday August 20, 2018 @01:31PM (#17801911)
I hope this hits the front page as I feel this is an essential extension for email privacy that many people are unaware of.
Re:PixelBlock – Gmail extension that blocks email open tracking on Monday August 20, 2018 @01:22PM (#17801821)
extremely beneficial extension, you'd be surprised how many marketing emails are tracking when you open the email

Front is probably doing 7MM ARR (I highly doubt more than that)
