This is a refreshingly good look at why extensions with both full privileged access and dynamic script + style execution are a really bad idea, greatly weakening the CSP on every site:
How insecure is Avast Secure Browser?
Injecting arbitrary scripts and styles ought to require an extra permission and be selectively allowed on a per-site basis.

How insecure is Avast Secure Browser?
Another look into Avast Secure Browser shows a massive attack surface, with some issues mentioned five years ago only partially addressed, all while new ways to attack the browser have been added.Almost Secure

Von wegen technologieoffen: Wie das ZDF berichtet, haben sich Minister Wissing & Staatssekretär Luksic als Lobbyisten für den Kraftstoff HVO100 einspannen lassen. Unterstützern von "HVO100 goes Germany" wurden exklusive Treffen mit Wissing oder Luksic in Aussicht gestellt - gegen saftige Bezahlung.
Luksic übernahm sogar die Schirmherrschaft für die u.a. von Tankstellen - Lobbyverbänden finanzierte Kampagne.

The simplicity of Dutch public transport tariff sometimes leads to illogical pricing.
For instance this 30-minute-long tram ride is cheaper with a tourist ticket for € 3.40 than when paid as you go with a transport or payment card.
I wish Dutch cities learned to implement price caps, which are common in virtually all other countries.

Long before #Rosetta & 67P/C-G, there was Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 & its devastating 1994 encounter with Jupiter.
I was privileged to be part of the team that made & released the very first images of Fragment A impacting at ~20:15 UTC on 16 July, 30 years ago last night, as seen from Calar Alto in Spain.
The brightness of the impact plume was a huge surprise & the following week saw intense astronomical, media, & public engagement.

Meta is already using it’s user’s data in the USA, But its brazen attempt to use EU user data and introduce Meta AI won’t pass! 🙅 🧐

Another privacy win for NOYB: Your data is up for grasps? Not so in the EU – not even for Meta’s AI!
Meta’s ‘legitimate interest’ to use Facebook and Instagram user data to train its AI models met with backlash in the EU.Tuta
In terms of creating a less bias AI model, it is better to have a more diverse training model. Thus, if many data subjects opt-out to this training attempt, in the long run there will be a worse off propaganda machine.
This is one of those current dilemmas between quality of model and acquiring of data.
After reading an article on the average news site, there are usually links to articles of dubious quality that are often salacious clickbait. These are usually Taboola ads.
It is thus a huge surprise to hear that Apple plans to run ads from them in its News and Stocks apps.
