:firefox: #Firefox #extension
Ah voilà ! J'ai retrouvé cette extension très pratique. Elle permet de rediriger certains sites (YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram...) vers des versions proxifiées (par exemple YouTube➡️ Invidious)
En plus de laisser moins d'informations aux GAFAM, c'est particulièrement utile pour moi vu que je ne peux plus consulter certains sites comme Reddit qui me bloquent parce qu'ils n'aiment pas mon IP.

Posting in case this helps someone else.

For the last month or two, I've had problems visiting some sites with #Firefox. The sites use #Cloudflare, and it would give the "prove you're a human by checking this box" prompt. I'd never had problems with this before.

Suddenly that started failing consistently. Clicking the box would do something, but then just reload the challenge. There was no way to pass it. I tried reconfiguring and even disabling the "uBlock Origin" extension, cookie policies, other things - no luck.

Based on a comment on this discussion:

... I tried disabling the "Disable HTML5 Autoplay" extension, and ... fixed! That was *not* an obvious candidate for causing the problem, unlike adblockers etc.

So it appears Cloudflare changed their in-browser testing JS such that it requires HTML5 autoplay to pass the check. Which is ... special. I can think of lots of people with very good reasons to have that disabled.

Anyways, I hope this helps someone.

This is weird, right?

I use an #extension *developed by Google¹* as a #dictionary in my #browser. I've been using it for 12+ years. I've never seen this behavior.

If I use the extension to search for the word 'fascist' or 'fascism', I get "no definition found."
If I search for those words via #Google #Search, I get the expected results. I noticed this about 3 hours ago.

Does anyone have an idea what's going on here?

¹I am aware I need to move away from google. I will.

There used to be some free software that helped with scrubbing audio for animation.
(As in, see where each peak in the audio fell in each frame, usually 24 frames per second). I cant find it anymore (it had a bird name),and I also recall it had been not in development for a few years back in 2010. Yeah,a while ago.

My question is: is there an extension for VLC that fulfills this purpose? Maybe some other software?

Thanks!
