Last week I posted about Opera ad/content blocking functionality and some time after I got surprise on newish feature I missed. I noticed this page linking to my Opera flashblock post and reply there saying that it is now obsolete.
Wait, what did I miss? Turns out Opera had recently got in its not-really-mainstream-tweak On Demand Plugin mode that is essentially native flashblock.
Ah, it’s been that long already. :) Yes, today marks second birthday of Rarst.net. I didn’t do minor milestone posts during second year so it kinda blinked past.
The more interesting it is to look back and do some obligatory number crunching.
Google is so fixed in minds as search powerhouse that it gets hard to keep perspective on how much different products and services they offer overall. And how much of your data gets in there.
Google Dashboard is single-page overview of what of your data Google has.
Minesweeper is probably one of the most widespread computer games ever. And people might object to bundling Internet Explorer with Windows, but I don’t think anyone ever objected to bundling Minesweeper.
But want if you want bit more complexity or features? I tried some Minesweeper clones over years, but none came as close to enhancing it while preserving original gameplay like Minesweeper X.
Advertisement blockers are nasty topic. There are plenty of people that feel strongly towards either side of dispute and not shy to tell about it. Truthfully bliss or evil – ad blockers are here to stay (unless advertisers and publishers learn to not use atrocious advertisement techniques).
Opera is only major browser (as far as I remember) that boldly included content blocker as native feature. It wasn’t actively promoted in the past, but 10.60 release has it listed among hand-picked top features.
wait, license is not even recommended to be used in plugin header by Codex? 3/4 plugins don't bother? *facepalm*
RT @Rarst: turns out there are already six plugins in WP repo under WTFPL... I won't be pioneer if I go that way... :)what the heck is Bearware 4,5% license?someone licensed plugin under "I don't even know anymore" I feel you! :)
