Before you could live with 1 income and buy a decent house and have a car. Today you can be 2 but have hard problem even buying a house?
Who’s or what’s the blame? I have my opinion and thoughts about that, but it’s for another day.
The gigants buy up competitors and bury it, shot down the project.
We would have more freedom and viable options as consumers if not the big companies such as Facebook, Google buy up the competition. It should be illegal to do this. The world is a more poorer marketplace because of this.
I did some terms in the board for our cooperative housing association (Sweden). The association signed up for a web hosting account. The association paid for the account but a private person had to own the account, which had all the access.
Changing the owner - even if the association paid the bills - was a big hassle and not easy. The hosting company where/are pretty strict about this.
Hence, the everyone in the OPs story made bad choices.
I had a great car repair shop with awesome care for customer. Gave you special care and nice deals. Well, because of great reviews they grew very much, rebuilt the shop and hired a lot of staff. The culture that made them successful was forgotten, the CEO had no insight in the employees so the experience as a customer deteriorated, hence left.
Lesson: don’t grow so fast that you forget what built your company in the first place.
Examples: Google, Facebook, etc.
Many stuff is disabled by default, but it’s a moving target. There are some tutorials online to read.
It depends on what the browser is used for. Some hardening breaks certain sites.
Some stuff to look at:
- dns-prefetch - geo - cookie - dom (disable, breaks sites) - browser.cache.disk - clipboard.events - media.peerconnection - healthreport - spoofRefererHeader
Chrome doesn’t remove history when closed is a big issue.
Chrome has never been an option for us with privacy in focus.
The guys behind uBO should get some price or something.

Today, looking back, I would consider some of my childhood friends to have ADHD or some kind of other diagnose.
Yesterday, these ADHD-kids, was not a great deal. There were also a lot of local jobs and other opportunities as well that didn’t demanded a high education.
Now kids don’t play outdoor and it’s easier to single out the ones with ADHD. Further more people have moved to the cities and there is a greater pressure to study. Today it’s hard to find a decent job for a supporter of a family without a good education.
Hence, without a diagnose, these kids would not stand a chance. They need all the help, support and understanding they could get.
Google is the next company that will come under heavy scrutiny. They are aggressively trying to circumvent ad-blockers with their recent usage of semi-random domains.
You can’t abuse ordinary people’s privacy and shove ads in people’s face for too long time.
Sorry, but my comments were invincible for long time than suddenly appeared. Thought it was something wrong then all comments was visible. Hard to know if you don’t know HN comment system.
