I'd be tempted to include blogs about/links to Tiananmen Square protests etc then report the copies to the Chinese authorities. Possibly do something similar for Russia about homosexuality or whatever.

Exactly my thought. Some really nasty base64 encoded images and stuff, if I could identify them by IP or some other way.

No, The Butt by Will Self.

Long-press the back button.

Yeah, for some reason on my firefox mobile (stable) the history list disappears immediately after releasing the long press, making the selection of a specific history item impossible :S

In any case, why does the site pollute the history with what are effectively noop items?

Salinger has certainly got this reclusive business down to a t - nobody's seen or heard anything from him for a good 8 years now.

It’s easier to avoid appearing in public when you’re dead.

If it doesn't have to be portable why spend that much on a laptop at all? Why not get a desktop you can at least sensibly upgrade/fix etc?

So you believe that a reviewer or perhaps a random internet commenter making a statement for or against a feature such as a headphone socket "gives attention" which is picked up by a company as it works on the spec for subsequent models? How would that work? How would you know whether the person was going to buy one anyway, or wasn't an idiot - what if you get some people who like it and some who don't? Wouldn't you just stick with the status quo, or talk to people who know what they're talking about?

Sadly, Chrome doesn't support extensions for mobile. Firefox does, which is the (only) reason I use it but that's obviously not going to be around forever. If the choice is ever surf with ads/trackers or don't surf I'll be not surfing.

Google barely sells phones. They might have done with Nexus but they sell as many Pixels in a year as Apple do in 3 days. I know no-one with a Nest. They're still very much an ad company.

Why, was Buddha around after Jesus then?

There's always one.
