Most of the useful extensions are back, only a few aren't.
But I miss the alternative of creating a new container window instead of a tab. And each window type should be a clean slate with its own set of bookmarks.
I think that they could up the stakes even more by tainting third party (and deeper when a third party site links further) cookies depending on which primary site you access so that the cookies are stored in a hierarchy and won't be cross-site accessible unless you tag them to be for selected sites.
It will of course require a completely new cookie manager and it would consume some more resources. But your privacy would be improved.
And that would of course also apply to other kinds of data as well so that the caching is also isolated as well as http headers.
Isolating information areas from each other is important in the world of today. I just feel sorry for those that have Facebook accounts considering that they are usually logged in to that service and then Facebook sees almost every site they visit. It's hard to filter out Facebook, but if you at least feed them less than useful data so it always looks like you are only visiting a certain site then their pool of data is diluted.
Of course they can still see that you come from the same IP address, but if all Facebook traffic is passed through a proxy then it won't do them any good. Selective proxy traffic routing for your internet access.
Add to it that you have to know the tax code of every country too. And be up to date on it. Sweden has three VAT levels depending on purchased object/service.
Also - what decides when which tax is applicable? Moment of purchase, purchasers residency or shipping address? Might be that the tax code there differs too so the purchaser is resident in country A, orders while in country B and gets it delivered when in country C and has to pay three taxes due to tax legislation.
No I don't, but I have seen code where it existed. Facepalm time there.
Unfortunately we can't have ADA everywhere. But for VB then I blame Microsoft for creating a shitty language that didn't force users from the beginning to be strict.
When I coded C for MS-DOS I had to make sure that I did malloc/free in the right order just to avoid memory leaks. So if I did one malloc for A then one for B the result was that I had to free B before A or I would have trouble coming.
Personally I think that C++ contains a lot of the bad parts from C and Java while not really offering any major advantage.
In any case - Valgrind and Splint are great for C programs, but for kernel work it's a bit hard to use Valgrind.
When coding Java I have had great experience using Findbugs. For C# I haven't seen any tool as good as that tool.
As a rule - never ignore compiler warnings, they may be the tip of an iceberg problem. I have found a lot of naughty bugs and coding that way.
Also beware of re-using variables, something that I have seen is very easy in VB - a variable is re-used and suddenly contains a new data type. That's really nasty. And some script languages allows that as well.
As soon as you have a large project then you have multiple developers and you don't know if what you change impacts something unexpected until you run tests if you use Javascript - and that requires a 100% coverage test.
Often things that would have been discovered during compile time in a language with strict typing.
That would at least be a lot better than Javascript.
But if someone came up and state that they plan to re-write something in Javascript I'd check the calendar first to see if it's April 1st, and if it isn't then I'll keep my distance from that project.
I think it's more the case that we are now always distracted by information overflow so nobody has the time to start thinking for themselves.
In the 70's we got the newspaper once per day, a comic magazine once per week or two weeks and a few TV programs on a limited set of channels. Now there are hundreds of TV channels but really nothing to watch and we drown in news from the internet and we have a kiloton of special interest forums on the web. On top of that a lot of junk ads and spam mails.
Quantity over quality in the information we get already from a young age is the point here.
When thinking about it - that little rover has far exceeded any expectations and done more for the exploration of Mars than most other missions so far.
When looking at it from the outside it is clear that Hillary wasn't a good alternative either.
If a female president is to be elected it has to be a new Iron Lady.
And if someone shall be able to challenge Trump in the next election it has to be a strong fast-paced person with light luggage able to shake up a movement as strong as Sanders had.
One name email and a company name of at most three letter are signs of an early era and potential status symbols.
Also the cryptic short form names can be there - in early mail addresses the short form used for the login was often used for the mail, e.g. anfo@xyz.org or something.
In a passing period an underscore was used instead of a dot separating first and last name, like john_doe@xyz.org
And how many has used the bang-paths? The style used when auto-routing mails didn't exist and the users had to know which path the mail had to be sent over UUCP to reach the destination.
Don't underestimate the historical significance of the early era mail addresses.
Some additional rules should be put in place for copyright: 1. Photos of art can't be copyrighted, the art itself may be subject to copyright. 2. Copyright can only be held by a person, not a company - and it can't be signed over either. 3. In the case of debatable copyright - like the monkey taking a photo of himself - that should be Public Domain since it was a random chance action and nothing else. 4. Lets make a difference between copyright for economic reasons and usage limit reasons. 4a. Copyright for economic reasons - copyright owner +5 years so that it's possible to clear as much debt as possible from the copyright holder estate. It's not unusual for people to earn a lot right after they have died in poverty. And it will put some demand on the inheritors of the estate to make their own life. 4b. Usage limit reasons - when something is re-purposed for questionable reasons, like re-purposing music for questionable political reasons. In this case it's more a question of honor than money. 5. When there's added value and the work only plays a part, like in satire and not in conflict with 4b. 6. Tax income from the copyrighted work so any profit from it is taxed. Having a static property tax is not a good idea. A lot of copyrighted works have many years of low use and suddenly they get a hike in popularity.

Yes, but that's a tax rate we see here in Europe.
Sorry, facebook owns a bunch of domains to render that useless.
uBlock Origin, Noscript, Cookie Autodelete, Lightbeam for me.
Some sites do look a bit wonky though, but not too bad.

A fixed sales tax of 25% regardless of where the delivery is done.

Open an outlet in states without sales tax where people can collect their stuff.
Would be good for states like New Hampshire.
And if states have trouble collecting sales tax maybe they should try income tax instead.
With a 6.7 billion fine it would be a painful penalty causing a hiccup for Apple.

So - yes, we live in the "brave new world".
And if they know who he is - what can they do about him? Especially if he didn't commit a crime.
Sometimes you just know stuff that you don't know what to do with but you don't want to reveal what you know because one day you may need it.
When thinking about it - that little rover has far exceeded any expectations and done more for the exploration of Mars than most other missions so far.
How can we top this?
So then if they claim copyright we can claim "abandonware".

At least Trump has made politics unpredictable.

So if Steam suddenly says that in order to play this game in 4K you need IPv6 then people would really take note and ask their ISPs for it.
Physical individual creator +5 years is enough for economic reasons.
And any computer software no longer supported by the creator should go into PD - which means Windows XP and earlier versions by now.
