How to keep using adblockers on chrome and chromium

1. google's manifest v3 has no analouge to the webRequestBlocking API, which is neccesary for (effective) adblockers to work
2. starting in chrome version 127, the transition to mv3 will start cutting off the use of mv2 extensions alltogether
3. this will inevitably piss of enterprises when their extensions don't work, so the ExtensionManifestV2Availability key was added and will presumably stay forever after enterprises complain enough

You can use this as a regular user, which will let you keep your mv2 extensions even after they're supposed to stop working

Linux

In a terminal, run:

The previous introductory article was a bit provocative, so this time I'll discuss what it's like to actually research and write about these topics.

• V8

V8 is Google’s open source high-performance JavaScript and WebAssembly engine, written in C++. It is used in Chrome and in Node.js, among others. It implements ECMAScript and WebAssembly, and runs on Windows 7 or later, macOS 10.12+, and Linux systems that use x64, IA-32, ARM, or MIPS processors. V8 can run standalone, or can be embedded into any C++ application.

• SpiderMonkey

SpiderMonkey is Mozilla’s JavaScript and WebAssembly Engine, used in Firefox, Servo and various other projects. It is written in C++, Rust and JavaScript. You can embed it into C++ and Rust projects, and it can be run as a stand-alone shell. It can also be [compiled](https://bytecodealliance.org/articles/making-javascript-run-fast-on

TPM provides zero practical security

TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is as useful for preventing real attackers as the TSA is at preventing real terrorists. The architecture is fundamentally flawed and most existing implementations are completely broken. I thought this argument was settled decades ago[1] when "trusted computing" was introduced mostly as a way to provide DRM and ownership capabilities to organizations. It has largely failed to impact the consumer market when it was introduced back in the early 2000s. However, recently there seems to be a movement by certain parties to reintroduce this failed product back to the market. Microsoft argues that in order to use Windows 11, you need TPM 2.0 compatible hardware because[2]:

# 20x faster replacement for "npm run"
# - It supports scripts executing a built-in shell function
# - It supports scripts executing a binary found in PATH
# - It supports scripts executing a binary found in node_modules
# - It supports passing arguments and options to scripts
# - It supports reading scripts either via ripgrep (fast) or via jq (slower, but safer)
# - It adds ./node_modules/.bin to the $PATH
# - It handles gracefully when a script has not been found
# - It handles gracefully when "&", "&&", "|", "||", or ENV variables are used, falling back to "npm run"

Building Chrome V8 on Windows

In order to be able to build v8 from scratch on Windows for x64, please follow the following steps.

These instructions were updated to work with Windows 11 Build 10.0.22621, but this should also work on WInodws 10

NOTE: While the Chrome team does provide decent documentation, there are some nuances and other additional steps that must be done for v8 to compile on Windows.

1. Conway’s Law is paramount.

Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure.

In order to design a piece of software we need to “design” the team that is going to produce it.

2. Developer Experience is key to productivity
