@freiwald It depends on how ABP is implemented. If it uses the same APIs as uBO, it's in the same boat. If not, then it's not blocking ads, it's just hiding them. So you still download and usually run the JS, bloat in memory, etc, just don't see it. Yes, soe good experiensss, mucho better than faerfox lol wut

Is that a DNS solution?
Those are good, but only to a limited point. Often, ads come from known DNS which makes them impossible to catch effectively. Proxies are a step ahead of this, but still, a lot of ads are not static content, so proxies are also unable to cope. There is really no alternative to proper in-browser blocking.

It’s a firewall addon including DNS, element and IP filtering. It can also use same block lists as eg uBlock Origin and much more.

How can it perform element filtering when traffic is encrypted with SSL? Even if you install an SSL inspection module on your router, which would be really stupid if you care about security, how can it filter elements of static HTML pages? Does it modify the page data on the fly? That is the dumbest way of doing things, as anyone who has dealt with HTML shit knows—HTML parsing is one of the most difficult and not well defined tasks on the web today. So I am not impressed, sorry. I will continue to use a proper ad blocking solution, on a proper browser.

Yea reminds me of Pi-hole. It's just no replacement for extension based adblockers.

Especially for sites like twitch and youtube.

Will this affect all chromium based browsers?

Maybe the chromium based Edge browser will do?

Only 2 reviews for it so far and they say it's an unique idea to mash 2 genres but nothing else into it. Very basic gameplay with nothing interesting and the games aren't worth trying more than once.

Just use Firefox.

Regarding the restrictions in Chromium, it depends how they are implemented. I know that some enterprise features are implemented in such a way that all Chromium derivatives are unable to override.

No, this isn't a Smash game, It's a Mash game. Laughing
You don't fight 1v1 in a arenas. Maybe more like a new genre? Could become popular someday but deffo won't be because of this game. The idea is to "mash" 2 different genres like stealth and platform and you play a game between Splinter Cell and Super Mario. Or mash metrovania with shoot'em and you get Castlevania shooter etc. Not sure how it really works, I just saw some reviews and they say some mashes are crashing.
If someone makes similar game with an editor or mod maker (like Mario Editor but each of the included genres) it can become very interesting, IMO.

Definitely. There's been a list floating around Reddit for a while now of the upcoming games.

Quoting from a post 4 days ago, which seems to have panned out as predicted (though there will have to be two games free on one of the days:

Quote:
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun
Kingdom Come Deliverance
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair
The Talos Principle
TABS: Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
A Knight's Quest
Cardpocalypse

The leak is very likely datamined for upcoming games on EGS. Which means people only speculated it's for the free games because so far all games that are free were first time in the store (except for the repeats of course) but it's possible some of these to not be included in the giveaway. KCD seems unreal to be free but if that happens it's probably gonna crash their servers. Very Happy

I could see Kingdom Come as a 1 day freebie with this event because it would just be the base game and that way the Devs would hope people buy the DLCs to balance out giving out the free game. They would never give out the Royal Edition though with all the DLCs as that has been the case with all the free games this past year where the DLCs were not included.

Without checking, I would think that is more due to the fact that is the only supported version of that game. I remember getting it free on Steam because I owned the original.

You forgot the other games in that big Batman Bundle, it was Arkham Knight base game and Lego Batman 3 base game so both were also missing the paid DLCs. There is no other version of Batman Arkham City other then the GOTY anymore so they kind of had to give out the GOTY edition.

Looked it up, it's going to be Hello Neighbor. The link is tied to TinyBuild games, and that lock icon is from the game itself apparently.
