Ad-Blocking, then. The literal difference between constant annoying internet harassment and privacy invasion, and a peaceful web experience.
Google have played funny-buggers with Chromium's extension format so Manifest v3 is here to effectively castrate all of your fave Ad-Blocking tools.
I've been testing Vivaldi browser this morning to see how it's own in-built Ad-Block works. Vivaldi are supporting Manifest v2 for the time being but only until mid 2025 when the Chromium code for v2 will be entirely removed.
Vivaldi's own Ad-Block solution has been described as less-capable but what does that mean in real terms? Does it offer the same level of protection as purpose-specific extensions like uBlock Origin? Is it even capable of offering that level?
I found the following web site that gives me an lovely visual representation of ad-blocking with a list of anything blocked and anything that slips the dragnet.
d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock…
Let's do some informal testing:
Vivaldi Ad-Block OFF | UBlock Origin OFF = 4%
That's to be expected. Truly appalling, the raw unfiltered web. Every market-store vendor in the world up in your face selling things at you.
Vivaldi Ad-Block OFF | UBlock Origin ON = 99%
Yep, also expected. This is why people swear by uBlock Origin. All of that advertising and tracking nonsense annihilated. NB: That 1% is the test dev admitting there may be other Javascript web pages it doesn't specifically cover with their test.
Now here's the meat of this post:
Vivaldi Ad-Block ON | UBlock Origin OFF = 74%
That's actually reasonable, if not all-encompassing. The Test's own score-banding lists this as a good result. However, a glance down at some of the blocking reveals big names like Google and Amazon are slipping through the net. I personally wouldn't accept this.
Luckily, though, you can import your own block lists to Vivaldi's own default lists. The Toolz test itself lists a couple that they claim will plug the gaps in the testing. Vivaldi's forums linked me to a couple more. Four url imports later (importing the urls rather than text files means they'll update automatically)
Vivaldi Ad-Block ON with Imported Lists | UBlock Origin OFF = 99%
99% again, natively inside Vivaldi without uBlock Origin! That's really great to see although there are tonnes of caveats around this, for example it is only ONE test that might not test for everything needing blocked; it's far from a definitive finding so please don't take this as recommendation just yet.
Vivaldi have said they'll improve the Ad-block in the future as we approach v2 shut-down, and I think it's currently missing Dynamic Blocking which is a bit of a biggie, but my tests above are still very encouraging for the plucky Norwegians. I'll post the url sources in the post below. Feel free to chime in with your own thoughts and experiences!

Baltic Aurora
The solar activity this year has been phenomenal for aurora photography. This is the third aurora I have seen and captured in Germany, this time on the Baltic coast of the island of Fehmarn.

After my having 3 Sinclair computers, I moved on to Atari ST, for a week... before I switched it for an Amiga. At the time, Atari and Amiga were the big names in home computing, while those with more funds might have gone with a Mac or a PC.

I went from a 1MHz C64 to a 2.4 GHz PC.
My mother had this "you already have one computer" response every time I wanted to upgrade, so I didn't get to upgrade until I moved out.
Sinclair Spectrum or Commodore 64?
My first computer was a Sinclair ZX81. I had it about a year before I switched to a Sinclair Spectrum and a couple of years later I moved on to Sinclair QL.
Some friends of mine had a Commodore 64. They were more expensive, better hardware, but less accessible when it came to programming, IMHO, at least using Basic. So my friends did more gaming and I did more programming.
Did you have any of these? Which camp were you in?

@cloudhands , that is how I started as well. There was a UK magazine, available in Iceland, that was called Sinclair programs. I would type in programs from that magazine into my ZX81 or Spectrum. Then I would spend time finding typos and bugs... You better be accurate! Learned a lot from that.
One issue with the ZX81 was the RAM pack. After typing for hours, I might push the machine slightly and it would reset... The joy... You might ask why one would not save all the time, but saving on diskette just takes a while.
