Whether or not it is fair, people should be aware that chargebacks are a nuclear option, at least in the US.

Sometimes they get hailed as a magic wand on consumer-advocate sites, but if you issue a chargeback with your bank, you should be prepared to completely sever relations with the vendor.

I mean that 1Blocker is terrible compared to uBlock+NoScript, and that's the best content blocker I could find after spending days researching them. Plus, it costs $3/mo or $40 for something that barely functions.

Web browsing in iOS is incredibly frustrating and privacy-unfriendly compared to Android. I recently bought an iPhone for the app tracking protection, but the difference between Safari and Firefox is like night and day.

Couldn't it be more useful to distill that repetitive content into a durable medium, instead of relying on the online equivalent of handing down an oral history of development practices?

Unfortunately, you will find iOS bad in different ways.

For example: you cannot install NoScript, or anything like it, on an iOS browser. You must choose between "all JS on" or "all JS off", and third-party browsers like Firefox are crippled because Apple forces all iOS browsers to use their WebKit engine under the hood.

The myriad of Safari "content blocker" apps are also pretty dismal, and often expensive. So ad-blocking is difficult as well.

They're better about app tracking, but you might want to keep an Android phone handy if you enjoy browsing the web.

Cool project - and I like that it uses USGS hydrography data.

They publish all kinds of terrain survey information about the entire USA for free. There's probably enough data to make your own GPS mapping device/app.
