No. Just use blabla is not enough. Sites which do that should be denounced.

You can sit around and wait for things to change, or you come up with a workaround to get done what needs to be done. You seem to be against workarounds instead of making people just sit idle doing nothing.

What's wrong with doing both?

  • Nothing is wrong with doing both. But when the reply to "this site does shady shit" is "just run this addon", it comes across with a subtext of "stop whining, you can solve it yourself". Perhaps not intentionally, but that is how it generally comes across.

    • It was only meant as a pragmatic here-and-now way of dealing with the issue, for the hn crowd. Most people are helpless victims.
