    1. Second, uBlock Origin does not have a dedicated server, it can't "phone home" with your browsing data, there is only GitHub, and GitHub is completely unrelated to uBlock Origin.
    1. "While we hope that Google will lift these unwarranted sanctions for AdNauseam, it highlights a much more serious problem for Chrome users," the AdNauseam team adds. "It is frightening to think that at any moment Google can quietly make your extensions and data disappear, without so much as a warning."

    1. Comparison between web browsers

      This is one of the best resources on web privacy I've ever seen. I warmly recommend it!

    1. Plot a course through the genome Inspired by Google Maps, a suite of tools is allowing researchers to chart the complex conformations of chromosomes.

      mentioned tools are focused on (capture) Hi-C data

    1. 6.2 Extension IDs Each extension has an extension ID that follows the browserext:// protocol. For example browserext://MyExtension_c1wakc4j0nefm/options.html browserext://dfcijpibodeoenkablikbkiobbdnkfki/options.html The algorithms that generate these IDs are different for each browser. To access these resources, do not hardcode the ID generated by a particular browser. Instead, use the runtime.getURL() method to convert a relative file name or path to the absolute name or path, which includes the extension ID.

      Vivaldi, as you know, I love your browser and use it primary and multiple times a day, despite it's quirks deviating from Chrome.

      Having said this, can we eliminate the generated file names for extensions, screenshots, and notes?

    1. Firefox add-on technology is modernizing

      Note: Starting in Firefox 57, which will be released in November 2017, only add-ons built with this new technology will work in Firefox. These are indicated by the “Compatible with Firefox 57+” label on addons.mozilla.org (AMO). Add-ons built with the old technology are labeled “Legacy” on the about:addons tab. If an add-on does not have the "Compatible with 57+" label, or has the "Legacy" label, the developer may be in the process of transitioning to the new technology. You may find developer contact information on the right side of the add-on listing on AMO.

    1. HTTP/1.1定义的 Cache-Control 头用来区分对缓存机制的支持情况, 请求头和响应头都支持这个属性。通过它提供的不同的值来定义缓存策略。

      Request Header与Response Header都支持这个属性 通过调整Cache-Control头可以做出很多缓存策略:

      1. 完全不支持
      2. 不缓存内容
      3. 私有缓存
      4. 公共缓存
      5. 缓存过期时间
    2. 通常定义Pragma以向后兼容基于HTTP/1.0的客户端

      效果同Cache-Control:no-Cache相同,区别在于HTTP响应头不支持这一个属性,不能完全取代Cache-Control属性..

    3. 当 web 缓存发现请求的资源已经被存储,它会拦截请求,返回该资源的拷贝,而不会去源服务器重新下载。

      这样可以重用已经获取的资源,提升网站的性能

    1. var jq = document.createElement('script'); jq.src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(jq); // ... give time for script to load, then type (or see below for non wait option) jQuery.noConflict();

      Add jQuery in the console!

    1. Back then there were two major browsers competing for the soul of the web: Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. They were incompatible by design. One browser would invent a new HTML element or attribute.

      If competition can lead to innovation, it's a hurdle when you try to build standards

    1. Browser software may ignore this tag.

      This is genius! Innovations and standards can live together on the web.

    1. You must quit IGV and restart for this preference to take effect. The genome should appear in the drop-down list.

      restart may be insufficient; had to modify prefs.properties in ~/igv (removing old cached genome values) before i could see my genomes

    1. Client<->Server API - defines how Matrix compatible clients communicate with Matrix homeservers. Server<->Server API - defines how Matrix homeservers exchange messages and synchronise history with each other.

      Given the data model (which allows merges) forkdb could be a close candidate to substitute a Client <-> Client API (also called peer to peer).

      Play with it.

    1. What about extensions for other browsers? We’re working on that. The next supported browser is likely to be Firefox.

      I'm writing this note in... Safari!

      I thought hypothes.is could only work with the Chrome applet.

      Still looking for a way to use hypothes.is from a tablet.

    1. When we first set out to identify malicious extensionsour expectation was to find banking trojans and pass-word stealers that duplicated the strategies pioneered byZeus and SpyEye. In practice, the abusive extensionecosystem is drastically different from malicious bina-ries. Monetization hinges on direct or indirect relation-ships with syndicated search partners and ad injection af-filiate programs, some of which earn millions of dollarsfrom infected users [37]. Miscreants derive wealth fromtrafficanduser targetingrather than the computing re-sources or privileged access mediated via the browser. Itmay simply be that the authors of malicious binaries havelittle incentive (or external pressure) to change, leavingextensions to a distinct set of actors. This uncertainty isa strong motivation for exploring the extension ecosys-tem further.

      This is the section that identifies the motives and economics around malicious extensions
