I do not know what the case is on all forms, but from more modern registrations, such as for the production company behind The Grand Tour, W Chump and Sons [1], at least for adding directors, residential addresses are hidden away. Additionally, I would love to see any credible examples of abuse from this system, seeing as it has been around for a while.

CS:GO also uses deep learning to automatically put cases into Overwatch, instead of relying on just user reports.

I believe I read somewhere (and it is one of the related articles on the page) that it was the 99-year lease that actually caused Hong Kong to lapse back to Chinese control.

It's called GOTV for CS:GO, fyi.

Basic guide here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/2arae2/how..., might be slightly outdated.

However, the swapping players from spectators would require them to directly connect into the game server, and simply spectate from there. I believe you can set them as coaches to prevent ghosting, as spectating directly from the server doesn't allow setting any sort of delay.

Did you say ~700? Shit, I have way higher memory usage and I'm only 15 tabs open (not that I complain - the overall RAM impact for me is nothing).

Doesn't work on Firefox Desktop for me either. Focus, however, I'm pretty sure uses GeckoView [1][2].

It's embedded CEF, fyi. And I'm fairly certain the new friends UI (which is built using a web stack) isn't Electron, but still just leveraging their existing CEF implementation.

Valve also use HTML/CSS (or some form of it) for their game UIs using Panorama, but this doesn't use any form of web browser from my knowledge.

OK, so... I right clicked, saved-as and then ran the XPI... and that worked. So thank you for that suggestion.

As for the studies image, that's only half of the fix according to the blog post [1], mine is only verification-timestamp, not signing-intermediate-bug.

Thanks for the response!

So,

I click the link. I click "Add", and Mozilla says addon could not be downloaded due to connection failure. Nothing appears in browser console.

Downloading an addon gives me "Download failed. Please check your connection." on the Addons site. In console, I get:

  Events to handle the installation initialized. BigInteger.js:27
  [GA: OFF] sendEvent {"hitType":"event","eventCategory":"AMO Addon Installs Download Failed","eventAction":"addon","eventLabel":"uBlock Origin"} BigInteger.js:27
  Error:

In the studies, I have https://i.imgur.com/fqrd5Jo.png. I enabled it, and have tried setting both first run, and the update interval is set to 21 (to try and force it to update it quickly).

I can report a connection failure while being on a unrestricted connection (University internet in the UK).

Anybody have any hints for someone who tries to install this and gets a connection error?

EDIT: Thanks to HN User gpm for suggesting a possible fix for this [1]. Right-click, save-as the XPI to somewhere on your computer (or use curl, wget or whatever tool of you choice), and then run it within Firefox. That might work (it did in my case).

EDIT 2: Also, interstingly, the blog post does have an update saying "There are a number of work-arounds being discussed in the community. These are not recommended as they may conflict with fixes we are deploying.", so, use at your own caution I guess.

> Last year China took down Yahoo! too, despite Yahoo's relationship with Alibaba.

I mean, by last year that relationship stopped existing (as Yahoo!'s Ali shares would be with Altaba).

I don't know whether this falls within that, but some people have made iMessage "versions" for Android by using a Mac computer as a bridge.
