Google ads on YouTube were caught serving Coinhive JS to mine cryptocurrency. Google says they have fixed the issue but it seems ...

World Clock Map?
Anyone know about a World Clock map? Like one which shows times for different cities on a globe. Samsung smartphones have one on the default clock map: http://images.samsung.com/is/image/samsung/p5/uk/support/mobile-devices/what-is-world-clock-on-my-samsung-galaxy-s7-or-s7-edge/images/what-is-world-...

Re: Google to block third-party code injections in Chrome
We probably shouldn't run software that injects code into any browser. Also, the so called anti virus and the extensions and toolbars that come with them weaken and expose your security rather than protect you. If you are running Windows 10 and have Windows Defender you are already better protected ...

Re: Wladimir Palant Taking a break from Adblock Plus development
True. He was the one who took the Adblock project in the correct direction after the original was all but abandoned. He directed the EasyList in the right way too.
Hope he's still connected to the project in other ways.
