Linux and Windows compress it too, for 10 years or more. And that’s not how you avoid zip bombs, just limit how much you uncompress and abort if it’s over that limit.

There are some examples of projects that use CleanURLs db in its readme but most have not been updated for a long time.

There are plenty of sites that use more than one parameters. It’s true that a lot of sites now use the history API instead of url parameters but you can still find plenty, and you have no garante about the parameters order. Any site with a search page that have a few options will probably use url parameters instead of the history API. It’s easier to parse and will end up being shorter most of the time.

Well for youtube it’s quite easy, there are only 4 useful parameters that I can think of, the video id v, the playlist id list and index if it’s a playlist and the time t if you’re sending a specific time in the video. Everything else can be removed. Here’s what uBlock Origin with the AdGuard URL Tracking filter list:

! Youtube
$removeparam=embeds_referring_euri,domain=youtubekids.com|youtube-nocookie.com|youtube.com
$removeparam=embeds_referring_origin,domain=youtubekids.com|youtube-nocookie.com|youtube.com
$removeparam=source_ve_path,domain=youtubekids.com|youtube-nocookie.com|youtube.com
||youtube.com^$removeparam=pp

There is no logic as to which parameters is useful and which is used for tracking. But there are databases.

Here is the one for the CleanURLs extension and here is the one for the AdGuard URL Tracking filter list (which I recommend everyone should enable in uBlock Origin).

It’s better to avoid re-encoding as it lose quality.

While it’s a good thing to avoid WhatsApp there is no way to know if Signal is safe from Graphite, they used to claim to be able to target it.

I did: a) as said elsewhere in this post steam auto update, the package version is not relevant. b) this is 5 years old.

I don’t think you should trust it more.

The link you posted is about using steam with NTFS and the installation method has nothing to do with it.

Even after reinstalling steam with the steam.deb file it shows the same error

I never heard that and never installed Steam without a package manager. Be careful not to listen to everyone’s advices.

I’ve never seen the !0 and !1, it is dumb and indicates either young or terrible devs.

Boolean(window.chrome) is the best, !!window.chrome is good, no need to test if it’s equal to true if you make it a boolean beforehand.

It’s way more accurate that google map. But it lacks a lot of stores and opening times in less touristy countries.

If you want to contribute check out StreetComplete for an easy way.

I don’t understand why but OK.

That would be very weird. I gather that Mint use Ubuntu’s packages so it should be OK. Did you try it?

I don’t really know mint but why not install it through your package manager?

Is this left-wing?

Brave does farbling: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/11770

JShelter is a nice extension that tries to implement the same things in other browsers, it’s a bit limited by the fact that it’s an extension.

I’ve yet to see a serious review of Duckduckgo browser, the only thing I saw was that because of it’s agreement with Microsoft for their search engine the browser, for a time, had rules to avoid blocking Microsoft tracking.

Sadly Firefox has no tab sandboxing on mobile so yeah, it is less secure.

And while I agree the Brave company is shady, the browser has good security features.
