  • I thought about all these points too. I agree. It’s really not worth doing.

    It is only benefitial at all, if dynamic dispatch is already in use. Then this “feature” is free besides the binary size.

    I mostly thought about the code not slowing down the usual path and still retaining the option to change it at runtime.

    Thanks for the detailed outline though.

    Nothing is wrong with the logging crates. :)

    I thought more about putting debug visualizations in the debug blocks - not log statements.





  • 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.
