If Google decides to make some fundamental changes to their core engine that would make, say, ad blocking a lot more difficult, would the other chromium-based browsers deep-fork the entire codebase to keep ad blockers working while at the same time integrating the new features as fast as possible in order to remain competitive with Chrome? That gives Google a lot of leverage because every time these projects decide to do something different from upstream it adds to the maintenance burden. For me Firefox has always been best, but they have nerfed themselves and keep ignoring us techies to such a degree that I will - if necessary - pay monthly to get a safe, supported version of the same with my old extensions working, but not to Mozilla Foundation, only to the Corporation (the ones who create the browser) or someone else. The difference is mostly negligible now and when it isn't it is 20 times faster (I don't think this is hyperbole) to mash in a !g at the end of my DDG search than the other way around.įTR: same goes for browsers. Guess what: techies got me to change to startup Google and I guess we will get people to change to another search engine as soon as one is ready. including results that doesn't contain my search terms / too much fuzzingīoth probably in order to please the mythical ordinary/average user I guess. Result: not a single relevant result on the front pageīut IMO it is a far cry from 2007 Google and only holds a candle because Google has nerfed itself.Īnd sadly, much of it isn't because they don't have resources for AI or even larger index but because of the same QA issues that Google has struggled with: Result: not a single relevant result on the front page (!) Result: relevant results, two in a language that I rarely read (German) or cannot read (French?) Nice card at the top with relevant information from Wikipedia (Norwegian for elephant trap) Result: empty set.

empty set when I search for something deliberately misspelled or non-existent Wohoo! Just tested, what a refreshing change! (I added a lot of libraries to that repository, and don't recall whether there was some reason to remove this particular library.) It was a pretty niche library, and in a fringe language, so its impact might've only been as an example, pointing out that this could be done, and some rules for it.

I was going to link here to the code of `urlskip`, but it's no longer in the package repository where it used to be. 1~linkin_id-111&ai=REALLYLONGNONSENSESTRING&num=3 It was coded to preserve only certain query parameters, like:Ī lot of the cases it handled were redirectors, which usually meant only the target URL, which was usually in a query parameter, but might be in the path, and might or might not be URL-escaped.

That way the filter list can be audited and must pass a review, without having a negative impact on the effectiveness of the extension, since the filter list does not appear to frequently change.
I have not had the time to set up a PoC, but I'm confident that the filter rules are way too powerful.Īt the very minimum, the current filter list should be included in the extension package rather than periodically updated from a remote URL. The only filter list provider is the extension maintainer, so this information should be safe to share. Among other things, it can redirect script URLs to arbitrary sources, and the filter list is periodically updated from a GitLab page, which enables the filter list provider to perform a targeted attack by serving a malicious filter list to a specific device. I'd love to use ClearURLs, though last I checked it had a major flaw: it allows arbitrary code execution by the provider of the filter list.
