Maybe to the average consumer, but here it does not.
not_really··on New Google Chrome feature blocks attacks against home networks
No, you come on. Chrome's "ad blocker" is objectively laughable, and the person you are responding to is pointing out that additionally there is a conflict of interest. Wouldn't matter even if the functionality was at parity with Ublock.

.... Well, at least you admit that you didn't read the article.

not_really··on It amazes me how many people are blissfully unaware of the rampant tether fraud

Making a sear is completely federally legal in the US.

It is however illegal to make a sear featuring support for automatic or select fire, unless you have the appropriate licensing to manufacture.

This guy built sears for a 3D printed gun. I think he will be okay.
