  • I don’t have exact numbers, (just anecdotals) but SponsorBlock has some basic stats, and so far they’ve saved people over 3962 years worth of time. By dividing that by how many skips there are, (3,608,826,265) you get roughly 34.6452092 seconds. Per skipped segment, which videos often have multiple of.

    This doesn’t include videos that are purely promotional sponsored videos disguised as content, (see modern LTT or RyanToyReviews) video content that would break the coherency of the video if skipped or actual non-video ads that are becoming more and more frequent.

    SponsorBlock also has options to skip filler in videos, which is hit or miss since it’s all community submitted, but…










  • Flaming hot take that’s probably gonna get me downvoted to hell: releasing a new version of Firefox on mobile before there was a high level of extension compatibility killed a lot of the momentum it had going for it.

    I know that maintaining two separate codebases is a huge challenge, but having the power of all desktop extensions on mobile was a pretty big draw and being told that only a small fraction of them work probably turned off a lot of people. I kinda wish they just put the old codebase in maintenance mode with bug fixes since it was pretty feature complete while rolling out Fenix as a beta.

    Sandboxing also still sucks even after the rewrite, (still no Fission!) which is unacceptable in today’s day and age. I say all this as a Firefox diehard on all platforms, but I’m tired of people acting like it’s a magic bullet to kill Chrome. It still has a lot of problems, including its resource usage. I’m hoping Servo takes off soon, because that’s what made Firefox so fast on desktop even though only a fraction of it was implemented.
