So I read this and have thoughts, none of them charitable.

Though I do appreciate the author’s use of “we can’t name the company he worked for. BTW here’s a super clear picture of their lobby, what they did, and a few of the headlines they’re known for.”

Thanks for looking out for me, Microsoft Edge. Appreciate you protecting me from uh Microsoft.

Silliness aside I really do think it is cool that Edge will prevent extensions from changing my defined settings, even for extensions made by the browser manufacturer.

Unironic kudos to the MS Edge folks. Ignore any dirty looks from the Rewards team.

(totally not thinking about how one might port it to python)
