What sort of argument is that? How could you possibly compare the holding up a mobile phone and using the camera in a restroom, with wearing unobtrusive glasses with a hidden camera?

There's a term for that misdirection you've attempted, is it straw man?

Came here to say that, and beaten to it. Might be two million or so, from what I've seen. Well worth it if you have that sort of spare cash. I see this as a not if, but when, situation.

> Does Brave let me define persistent rules for cookie handling on a per-site basis? That's one of the main reasons I use Firefox.

Cookie AutoDelete? What a great extension. So easy to use too.

>> "Brave ...messed with affiliate links to steal revenue, and took tips for people who were not part of their tips programme."
> Got some references for that?

That definitely happened, I recall reading about it a little while ago.

Put me off installing it.

I'm only here for the libertarians frothing at the mouth at the loss of freedom. Free speech died today, or something.

Must get me some popcorn.

I see Bahbus rates his own made-up facts over actual facts

I gather that suntzu3000 would prefer it that companies should be able to do whatever the hell they want with no limits or restrictions

"These laws have nothing to do with protecting kids, and everything to do with stripping adults of their privacy" - False. These laws are aimed solely at getting kids away from social media addiction.

Did anyone expect there would be 100% compliance?

Nothing to do with "stripping adults of their privacy", where did you get that idea, it's not true

"You can be imprisoned in Australia for criticizing Islam" - hah! Given a prominent ultra right wing Senator regularly criticizes Islam, I'd say you just made that up

Here in Queensland where I live in Australia we've the same thing with e-bikes and kids, the showing off without a helmet, injuries & death etc,

We've new laws that aim to reduce the carnage (ask any hospital emergency department professional) and limit e-bike and e-scooter speed to 25 km/hr (divide by 1.6 for mph) or 12 km/h on footpaths.

This one may be of interest :-
"E-scooter, e-skateboard and e-unicycle riders must be aged 16 years or older to ride unsupervised. Children aged 12-15 can ride only under adult supervision.
Parents will be fined for under 16s riding illegally."

No one expects that there will be 100% adherence but it makes a line in the sand & I've not heard any negatives now it's in place.

I love the part where will4's reason to hang on to cheques rely on the fear of foreign military invasion of the country, and how cheques are going to save the USA when that happens.

I agree with all of nospan07's comment, except for the "most sophisticated banking system".

I can only assume that, like most Americans, they are unaware of how primitive the US banking system actually is compared with most of the rest of the world.

It's also bizarrely splintered along state lines, afaik.

I am curious what Americans think is the cause of the uniquely high percentage of their population, that are in prison.

As an Aussie I don't have the insider insight to understand what drives that.

I did not know Opera is Chinese. Wow. We really don't have a lot of choices do we.

which I guess is why I keep using Firefox because the alternative, Chromium being the only show in town, is too awful to think about.

Any particular bugs in Firefox bothering you? I've not stopped using it since the start. Then when Google removed don't be evil I was less tempted to switch to Chrome. In my day job I use both, because Chrome had profiles before Firefox, but I'm not surfing the web at work.

Sure there are some websites where the odd bit doesn't work, but that is rare in my experience. And I expect due to their coding it wrong (by accident) rather than a Firefox bug.
