Chrome-Developer-Mode-Extension-Warning-Patcher VS qttabbar

You can use a dll patcher like https://github.com/Ceiridge/Chrome-Developer-Mode-Extension-Warning-Patcher to re-enable webRequestBlocking extension API for Manifest V3 extensions on Chromium browsers

I'm surprised that this exception exists, and without an end date. Perversely, because they refuse to allow blocking webrequest even for local testing, anyone trying to use it to build one of those force-installed extensions has to resort to measures like hot-patching the browser at runtime, which, conveniently, also allows consumers to bypass this restriction anyway.

The blocking webRequest API will supposedly remain available in Brave and Vivaldi even once they move to MV3. In addition, it will be available in Chrome for anyone using https://github.com/Ceiridge/Chrome-Developer-Mode-Extension-Warning-Patcher though they will have to download the unpacked extension (or possibly crx) themselves.

Here's an interesting thread I found: https://github.com/Ceiridge/Chrome-Developer-Mode-Extension-Warning-Patcher/issues/21

Chrome will apparently continue to support blocking webRequest for enterprise extensions. Presumably this Chrome patcher could be modified to make it work with all extensions though you would have to get them from elsewhere such as Opera's addon site (or Brave, if they come up with their own).

in the meantime, this works really well for me

I know nothing about this so 10 minutes of Googling has lead me to the conclusion that Quizo may or may not support this any longer, and looks like "indiff" has a github for QTTabBar. Maybe you can ask in the discussions page on the github? There's lots of documentation I think, but it's in Chinese so I'm not getting much out of it!

The update broke my use of QTTabBar (indiff version), so I'd hold off if you can.

I've been using QTTabBar for last 3 years and I had zero issues, my wallpaper changes every 10min. I've been using this version but there is also another one with source code available on github.

Have you tried this form of Qttabbar? I heard it works better for Windows 11 users? https://github.com/indiff/qttabbar

I've been able to set up and practice on virtual kubernetes cluster using KinD[2] (Kubernetes in Docker) thanks to the seamless integration of Docker for Windows into the WSL subsystem. VSCode can tap into Linux VMs with pretty much no delays too. Shutting down the whole thing to free up resources takes one line in Powershell and happens within a few seconds. The terminal app despite having a bit of a clunky UI is highly configurable and just works, etc.

There are things that scare me about Windows though, for example the mandatory real-time "defender" file scanning that you have to disable either manually at every boot or disable entirely through registry thus losing the virus scanning functionality. The amount of clunky Cortana stuff that really took a while to remove. The store app that feels flimsy, the games dependency on Xbox apps and subsystems which can lead to annoying bugs, and certain UI delays that make the system sometimes feel not so fast compared to the tricks Macs can pull to make you feel at ease. Consequently I'm not very likely to touch Windows 11 as Microsoft is seemingly trying to enforce more things in configurations and UI.

Works with indiff/qttabbar: Qttabbar is a small tool that allows you to use tab multi label function in Windows Explorer. (github.com)

I download it from the official site with the first link you indicated, but in github there is a fork, I have never used it because the official version I use has worked without problem.

https://github.com/indiff/qttabbar fork is more active and opened than quizo(the original one, but slow update)
