Firefox implements v3 without the restrictions.

This guy was running a three year old version of Plex with a known (and later fixed RCE), and was working for LastPass.

With TLS and DoH, how is your bank and other information leaked?

… which is not a high bar.

This is about intro detection in TV shows, not ad blocking. I’m not proposing this as a good way to block ads, just noting that this feature in Plex doesn’t use a database.

Pretty sure they just use timestamps from a crowdsourced database, just like sponsorblock.

Nope, it’s analyzing the sound to guess where the intro starts and ends. Turns out this is pretty simple to implement, but quite reliable. Source: worked for Plex

No, they could’t just remove a few lines of code and text - if they could, they would have done exactly that. Yuzu was fucked because they sold early access to day one compat with new games. That’s clearly illegal and scummy, even if it’s big bad corporation on the losing end of it. If they hadn’t complied they likely would have lost any litigation and might also get into other legal troubles because of likely pre-release access to games. No judge would have taken any of it lightly.

I think it’s a function of greater screen resolutions being available.

Explain?

Lots of negativity and whataboutism in this thread (which I don’t disagree with), but this is still a good move.

I don’t think this is a real issue in the age of bespoke design for applications. Only a minority of then use the OS widgets for their interface. You can argue that this is a bad thing, but then the context menus are just a tiny portion of the entire issue.

Manifest v3 is already supported in Firefox (they must support it to keep the extension ecosystem alive), but they implemented it without the user-hostile restrictions.
