I've never experienced any breakage.

Do you have uBO annoyances lists enabled? Because I never get any.

I went to cnn to try and didn't have any. I couldn't find the exact article in your screen but I tried a few without any popup.

Did you enable uBO annoyances lists?

What's an ad-blocker popup? uBlock Origin never show me a popup.

There are some examples of projects that use CleanURLs db in its readme but most have not been updated for a long time.

There are plenty of sites that use more than one parameters. It's true that a lot of sites now use the history API instead of url parameters but you can still find plenty, and you have no garante about the parameters order. Any site with a search page that have a few options will probably use url parameters instead of the history API. It's easier to parse and will end up being shorter most of the time.

Well for youtube it's quite easy, there are only 4 useful parameters that I can think of, the video id v, the playlist id list and index if it's a playlist and the time t if you're sending a specific time in the video. Everything else can be removed. Here's what uBlock Origin with the AdGuard URL Tracking filter list:

    
! Youtube
$removeparam=embeds_referring_euri,domain=youtubekids.com|youtube-nocookie.com|youtube.com
$removeparam=embeds_referring_origin,domain=youtubekids.com|youtube-nocookie.com|youtube.com
$removeparam=source_ve_path,domain=youtubekids.com|youtube-nocookie.com|youtube.com
||youtube.com^$removeparam=pp

  

There is no logic as to which parameters is useful and which is used for tracking. But there are databases.

Here is the one for the CleanURLs extension and here is the one for the AdGuard URL Tracking filter list (which I recommend everyone should enable in uBlock Origin).

You don't DDOS through a VPN. The first D is for distributed, you do it from a multitude of devices, often hacked ones from a botnet. So DDOS attribution is hard. And if you want some scale you reflect the attack on some other machine that runs a service that allow for amplification, making attribution even harder.

It's better to avoid re-encoding as it lose quality.

While it's a good thing to avoid WhatsApp there is no way to know if Signal is safe from Graphite, they used to claim to be able to target it.

I did: a) as said elsewhere in this post steam auto update, the package version is not relevant. b) this is 5 years old.

I don't think you should trust it more.

The link you posted is about using steam with NTFS and the installation method has nothing to do with it.

Even after reinstalling steam with the steam.deb file it shows the same error

I never heard that and never installed Steam without a package manager. Be careful not to listen to everyone's advices.

I've never seen the !0 and !1, it is dumb and indicates either young or terrible devs.

Boolean(window.chrome) is the best, !!window.chrome is good, no need to test if it's equal to true if you make it a boolean beforehand.

It's way more accurate that google map. But it lacks a lot of stores and opening times in less touristy countries.

If you want to contribute check out StreetComplete for an easy way.

I don't understand why but OK.

That would be very weird. I gather that Mint use Ubuntu's packages so it should be OK. Did you try it?
