Hi, not well educated on the details of VPNs and network security so this may be a basic question, but - VPNs are used regularly by corporates to enable secure intranet access to people offsite, etc - surely completely blocking VPNs or detecting and punishing VPN users is severely detrimental to business and not something countries would want to do carte blanche? How does this work?

Yep, same experience here. The name is a big problem.

There's a major difference of scale. No individual human artist can reliably learn to copy every other artists' styles, and then produce infinite works in those styles.

This particular misspelling happens often enough (on this forum) that I don't think it's unreasonable to think that some people are doing it intentionally as a form of trolling.

I work for a company whose primary product is an extension. From my experience it's quite random; sometimes an update will pass 'review' a few hours after submission (never a few minutes, but it's clearly not being reviewed in any depth) and other times it will be held up for a few days, a week, or up to 15 days recently. It seems to be a lottery, where your chances of a manual review are increased by requiring certain permissions and other factors the chrome gods decide are risky. In our case they have rejected updates several times for spurious reasons, like claiming we do not use the notifications permission although we asked for it - even though use of the `.notifications` method on the chrome javascript api was visible in our code.

I think GPs point stands - whether or not they actually review every update, they make the claim that extensions are reviewed, and they're reviewed often enough that they should be able to catch genuinely dangerous extensions.

Yes it is, and extensions for Brave are installed through the Chrome Web Store, as are extensions for other chromium based browsers like Edge. There's no escaping the manifest v3 event horizon for extension developers.

No, its not just an oversimplification. It's entirely incorrect. Most psychedelic drugs are very low in toxicity, to the extent that they can accurately be called non toxic.
