YES! I really want that too!
Never used Brave, but switched to Opera recently and it's doing great in blocking ads.

I thought the same thing.

I want that too. Now I'm using Backupsy[1] when I need a VM with more disk space.

Yeah, you're right. Maybe a more secure way would be make reddit.com unreadable. For example:

mctddr (backwards without dot and vowels)

r5d9t (change vowel with the position number in the alphabet and without repeated letters)

There are several ways to do it.

I have used a similar aproach, but I don't hash them. Here's a example:

Supose I have the master password "t3st1ng" and "!@#" as separator. When I want to register on site www.reddit.com, I just use the password "reddit.com!@#t3st1ng".

This way I always have a strong password and I can use different passwords in every site, and I just have to remember the master password.

What about tell your friends/coworkers about your feelings? Maybe, together, you can make changes on your current work-style to make you happy.
I'm using it successfully with a custom domain. It works great.

Outdated and misleading.

For instance, Korora is based on Fedora, not in Gentoo.

Same error here, but `ls' works:

    ./mbox ls

    ./mbox -- wget google.com

https://github.com/wking/rss2email

Pros: It sends to my Gmail account, separated by labels, and I can read both in PC and mobile.

Cons: you have to run the command in your PC.
