perfect use case for the public suffix list (https://github.com/publicsuffix/list)

How I Accidentally Made My Link Shortener into a Malware Honeypot
I just made up `blogger.com` as an example. I probably could have picked a better one. `blogspot.com` & its many TLD variations are on the list.
It looks like the repo where the list is maintained [1] is pretty active. YMMV, I'm not a maintainer or anything..

Ask HN: How does HN determine the site that a submission belongs to?
There's the Public Suffix List https://publicsuffix.org/ but it's limited to domain names, so your github.com/rails example isn't covered. I'm pretty sure HN simply has a manually coded list of URL patterns for popular domains.

Government URLs that don't end in .gov
Browsers use the public suffix list to determine cookie scope. You can even get your own domains added to it.

See this page fetch itself, byte by byte, over TLS
Are you sure? Looking at their website[1] I see:
> Highlight the most important part of a domain name in the user interface
Which is my suggestion above.
> If you are using it for something else, you are encouraged to tell us, because it helps us to assess the potential impact of changes
Which sounds cautiously supportive of additional use cases.

So this guy is now S3. All of S3
Sounds like Bluesky screwed up by not implementing the https://publicsuffix.org/ list

Adsense is bringing a bunch of policy changes that affect how your sites are monetized
Furthermore, what constitutes a "Site" will also change henceforth. You can only add a primary domain (such as example.com) and the subdomains which are listed on the public suffix list (such as github.io, blogspot.com, etc.). Thus, your own subdomains (such as xyz.example.com or www.example.com) won't be allowed in Adsense.

Chromium's impact on root DNS traffic (2020)
> In fact I think Firefox would have to implement a similar approach if it were popular enough
They implement an omnibox that works well. Why would they need to do this if they were more popular? I suppose they use the domain suffix list for this. It's probably not bulletproof, but it works well enough and doesn't hammer the root DNS servers.

Custom domain email issues?
Or they could use the list that's available at https://publicsuffix.org/

Brave's AI assistant now integrates with PDFs and Google Drive
Unrelated but about Brave and interesting to me: I recently found myself having a large upstream project that I need to maintain some custom patches for, and there's a need for deeper customizations and I worry that my rudimentary system of applying .patch files will turn into an unmaintainable nightmare of merge conflicts after every rebase. I was thinking about possible solutions, and it occurred to me that Brave being Chromium-based must have this same challenge but an order of magnitude more difficult, so I looked for their code to see how they solved this issue.
It's pretty interesting! They do basically the same thing for core Chromium, applying a (big) set of patches[1].
Incidentally, I'd be interested to hear any ideas/approaches to this problem. I'm guessing if there was something clearly better, Brave would be doing it, but it seems like there should be a better way even if I can't think of one.

Brave browser simplifies its fingerprinting protections

(Incidentally, that PR number is not quite elite. :)

Brave appears to install VPN Services without user consent
I disagree that it's lip service Brave has a ton of engine level privacy patches https://github.com/brave/brave-core/tree/master/patches
To my understanding you can't match it with just js extensions.
Only firefox on the highest security mode comes close I think?
Or ungoogled chromium? (brave has most of their patches IIRC)
Are there other options that have this number of patches?

Brave cuts ties with Bing to offer its own image and video search results
Chromium is not 100% Google's forever and always, though they do currently lead the way, and with the most used/backed fork.

Brave is a fork, not a Chromium reskinn
They have much more changes than just compile flags. Here's the repo where they maintain their patch set: https://github.com/brave/brave-core/tree/master/patches

Brave Ads are back? Even when they're turned off?
Brave Private Ads toggle controls just Push Notification ads at this time. So, if you are still seeing Push Notification ads, that would be incorrect. However, it's normal to still see New Tab Page image ads, and/or other ad formats. We are introducing a new UI that helps you better toggle on/off specific ad units, and removing the "Brave Private Ads" toggle that can be confusing: https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/18938
