Prevent Google from mangling search result links when click/copying on Firefox
6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Sep 2021

I wrote a simple addon that avoids just that https://github.com/dandanua/copy-true-link
The code doesn't prevent event propagation, instead it copies the link before propagation happens. I guess this way is more reliable.
Google Removed ClearURLs Extension from Chrome Web Store
15 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 24 Mar 2021

I wrote a very basic extension Copy True Link https://github.com/dandanua/copy-true-link
It doesn't remove trackers from the URLs yet, but at least you can copy what is displayed at the status bar when you hover over the link. It's useful since a lot of tracking sites (like FB) substitute that status bar link for the tracking one before clicking.
I think I'll add some cleaning process in the future.

YouTube's Adblock detection might break the law in the EU

Looking at the filters that uBlock is using, it still seems to be some sort of regex on the xhr request/response body [1]. Why can't youtube trivially defeat this by encrypting everything?

questions about Ublock Operation
1 project | /r/uBlockOrigin | 2 Nov 2023

a) How does ublock (-the extention-) upgrade . i suppose what that purge caches does is going to the repo and grabs the latest lists/ids etc ... but if during this battle you had to upgrade the extention itself was this done via the extention store or the the extention goes grabs the new version by it self ?
