Correct. Some extensions still offer tools via the share dropdown though. This extension could add a “Open without AMP” option in there.


You could just use https://www.amputatorbot.com in this case. The extension's selling point is convenience


I hate it as much as everyone else, but last time I stripped AMP I got a useless paywalled adridden website so I ended up just sharing the AMP URL


The point here is that this can be used on iPhone, so there was not already something there.


... and in typical Apple fashion, it costs money to get it.


Yes, damn developers wanting money for their work!


No, it's not about that, and shame on you for thinking so.

It's the plain fact that if this were a problem on Windows or linux, a free script would be available, but because it's Apple, it's a paid plugin or add-on, as it is with everything you need to customise an apple device.

It's a matter of developer culture, where you develop things for a fun, and to solve a problem. Not to make a quick buck.


Apollo is the answer. Reddit’s properties are a dumpster fire. Heck even the desktop version regularly starts playing some random video I scrolled past a minute ago… good luck finding it. Absolutely embarrassing “bugs” everywhere on Reddit, even before getting to the dark patterns.


Apollo is also built by the same developer as this extension. Best Reddit client IMO.


I wish apollo had the option of turning off infinite scroll.


That's the main problem I have with "new reddit", as well: new reddit has infinite scroll, so I use old reddit, but old reddit doesn't have dark mode.


I happen to use both bing and DDG occasionally and the results are plain bad so I end up using Google anyway.

I should try the opposite though: when Google SERP is useless, try others.


This has been my experience as well. Google, Bing, DDG, they all fail to work well in some major form or another. Google and Bing don't let you do explicit search demands with quotes; all the power tricks for search are gone and I routinely find myself frustrated with trying to find some things-- especially if they fall into the gaps where Google insists on excluding a term.

I would gladly switch to a search engine that just got it all right in the way that Google pre-2010 did.


In my father’s hands, the iPhone shoots better photos than his Sony A6000, so it depends on how entry level we go.


In my hands the iPhone 12 consistently performs better in indoor conditions than my old a5100 (basically a more compact a6000), especially with the awful kit lens.

I like shooting outdoor on telephoto (135mm+), and there the phones are nowhere as competitive, and won’t be for a long time, if ever. Actually that’s where the progress in standalone cameras is: more compact telephoto lenses, sharper zooms, faster autofocus, even less noise. And no, multiframe fusion won’t help when you’re shooting quick action.


> In developing this interpreter they eliminated some of the languages features to make it simpler.

That means you can't run general-purpose code safely, which means you should probably write/rewrite/adapt it, which means you might as well use a different language.

I'm a JS developer, but the parent might have a point here. Why run something like this in production when you're likely to end up in unexpected situations? Either a runtime is compliant, or you're going to have a bad time.

The project is cool, but I wouldn't use it as an example for what JS can do.


Not to mention the inefficiency.


You’re right, my estimate for a short surgery in a private Thai hospital last Monday was “10k/11k THB excluding fees.” I walked out of the hospital 2 hours later having paid 9.1k THB (270 USD) painkillers included.

Estimates are fine, it’s just that they don’t benefit US hospitals. Stop justifying them, they’re scamming you.


By law the hotel has to register your arrival online, as a foreigner.

Obviously this is easily skirted by having another person do the check in and you arriving later. I've also stayed in some guest houses in Thailand last month and they did not register me, but that doesn't mean they should have done so.

If they don't, technically you're on the hook for not registering.


I was present at check in, I didn't arrive later
