Firefox for iOS and macOS. I have strict tracking protection [1] enabled on the former, and NoScript + uBlock Origin set up on the latter. I also use Little Snitch on the Mac.

> Gaia enables applications to access [it] via a uniform API.

The rationale explained by dang in a 2015 post [2] makes sense:
> Publications like NYT, WSJ, the Economist, and the New Yorker have paywalls that leave ways for readers to work around them. Such stories are OK to post to Hacker News. Yes, this sucks, but the loss of many substantive articles would suck worse.
> Please note that we will not consent to disclose reports if they have been marked out-of-scope or inapplicable, or where Valve has not taken a specific corrective action / mitigation.
> Valve embraces transparency in our security. We will generally disclose the details of vulnerabilities found, upon request.
> When you attempt to install other browsers, the 360 Safe Guards will allow the browser to be installed but will then popup saying not to let it become the default browser.
> When users of 360 Safe Guards run a check of their system, if they don't have the 360 browser installed it will give them a failing grade. If the user chooses another security software to protect their failing grade browser, the Safe Guards say no.
Also interesting is a statement by Opera on the 2016 acquisition [2]:
> The transaction would give Opera access to the extensive internet user base of Kunlun and Qihoo in China as well as the financing and other support of the Consortium that would allow for the full potential of the Company to be realized. At the same time, Kunlun and Qihoo would be able to cross-sell their products and services to the Opera user base, and benefit from Opera’s leading mobile advertising platform.

> Login into Hero Trainer when you go for a run (gym check-ins will come in the future)
How would you calculate points earned for each run or gym visit? For the former, does the app rely on step count during the "tracked" period or does it incorporate outdoor GPS?
> Spectacle used it's own keyboard shortcut recorder, while Rectangle uses MASShortcut [1], a well maintained open source library for shortcut recording in macOS apps. This cuts down dramatically on the number of bugs that were only in Spectacle because of the custom shortcut recorder.

It sounds like Apple might provide vetted researchers with development-fused devices [2]. In an official capacity, these have only been mentioned once - during a Black Hat talk by Ivan Krstić [3].

> Cathay confirmed it is collecting images of passengers while they're on board, monitoring their usage of the in-flight entertainment system (IFE) and how they spend time during the flight.
However, it sounds like Cathay are just using fixed cameras and not ones built into individual IFE screens:
> The airline said these images are captured via CCTV cameras fixed around the airplane and not from embedded seat-back cameras.
> Cathay's spokesperson said similar devices were not installed in its IFEs. "Our inflight entertainment systems do not have any cameras, microphones or sensors to monitor passengers, nor have they in the past."
Absolutely, and overlay AR sounds like their next step:
> Snap recently released zanily animated beacons called Landmarkers — the Eiffel Tower can pop like a champagne bottle for tourists.
Interesting that they've already tested this with an ad campaign [1] but don't want partners to dilute theirs IRL [2].

Note-taking: I settled on Bear after trying Apple Notes, Evernote, and OneNote. While I can't search inside scanned docs, the UX is polished and syncing is flawless if you're in the Apple ecosystem.
In particular, one excerpt from the complaint reads like output from a noisy scanner that has detected “exposed SSNs” in client-side code:
> [...] Social Security numbers are readily identifiable: they are nine digits in the XXX-XX-XXXX sequence.
Similar setup here, but recently switched back to iOS. It's a shame that extension support is impractical because of WebKit.
