You absolutely can tell what’s happening by reading the source code. They are using a listener and a delay for when ontimeupdate

A steam deck might be a cheaper alternative.
Every service that disabled or limited the API has seen an increase in running costs, because people turn to scraping, which costs them more resources overall, and cannot be controlled by the site owners as easily.
Let’s be honest, though, hosting text files with a search bar isn’t that much expensive to justify a response like this.
It’s fine if they want to earn money, but then they should be upfront about it, and not making up stories about fluke running costs. I’d rather see a donation button.
Opensubtitles does not create the subtitles, that’s done by the community, which is being monetised and sub authors get nothing out of it.
Disk RAM
PWAs are available on mobile, where it makes the most sense from the user perspective.
If you want this functionality on the desktop, there’s a tool for that as well.
Petition to rename X to Y, I think it sums up Elon’s entire existence quite nicely.
Usually, cracking doesn’t typically result in the blocking of network features. This is why most groups suggest blocking the executable in the firewall.
Doesn’t work for me. API key was revoked.
I had a stroke reading the title.
I reckon that blocking ad blockers isn’t some extra countermeasure here. It’s actually right in line with what Manifest V3 and that new environment attestation system are all about. They’re basically making sure that if you tinker with crucial bits of the JavaScript – stuff they see as essential (like anti-adblock) – you won’t make it through the attestation and you’ll get blocked.
They don’t want to block all modifications because that would be a hindrance to many users, for example the visually impaired. However, anything affecting their bottom line will probably be blocked.
How that will affect Firefox? I don’t know, maybe nothing will change for us, or perhaps Google will block Firefox altogether. We certainly know they’re capable.
The Gecko Engine (Firefox), holds a user share of 4%. When compared to Chromium’s (Google Chrome and its clones) whooping 72% (roughly) user share, it’s clear that Firefox has limited relevance to their business strategy.

Some countries don’t allow interruptive ads. Cherish it while you still can!
No problems with Mozilla VPN
Remember when some people said we’re nuts thinking Google will try to ban ad blockers with manifest v3? Yeah.
They don’t have to, they choose to. You can share bookmarks on Firefox, but Mozilla doesn’t filter nor censor them Orwellian style.
Look, I get where you’re coming from, but saying Cloudflare collects everything just because they have some access to data is a bit of a stretch. Sure, they might have some data for security and optimization, but that doesn’t mean they’re hoarding every little detail about users. They’re more like the bouncer at the club, keeping an eye on things without memorizing everyone’s life story. So, while they might have a bit of info, calling it “collecting everything” is like saying a bouncer knows everything about the party – it’s just not the case.
You can’t pay with it at the till, though.
