I don’t understand why all these chrome derivatives and firefox don’t just band together and extend manifest v3 with some vendored standardised extension that addresses the limitations.

Browsers do that for CSS and JavaScript features already. An extension could just check if the browser supports the “unlimited filters” option and use it if its available.

I have never researched it but heard that the permissions of manifest v3 are much better for privacy.

I am in favor of removing manifest v2 if the vendored extension becomes a reality.

Browsers already have too much complexity, lines of code and feature creep.

My personal theory for the curved edges is, that samsung just wanted to prevent cheap off brand replacement screens.

I have searched for alternatives. There are none that I am aware of. I just want a streaming box that can run jellyfin with a simple remote. I really don’t want to use a keyboard in bed.

If anyone knows a simple setup that boots straight into jellyfin with a remote, I would love to hear about it.

So you would need buffer barrieres essentially.

Still user watches video. Ad avoidance skips forward to buffer barrier to play ad in the background. Streamed ad is thrown away and new buffer data is received. User does not notice if the video is long enough.

In this case the buffer limit is the metadata.

Can you provide some sources that support this claim?

Well the player and its controls are client side.

I think dd is the right tool for the job. Consider using pv though. It can be much much faster.

The biggest offenders for me are:

• I struggle to navigate and make out alle the controls of the settings app. Somehow finding the settings visually is very difficult.
• The new settings app is single instance. The control panel had lots of popup windows and you could open it multiple times which allowed parallel open settings windows.
