No-WEI.js, a banner that will warn Chrome users of the dangers of WEI

I've created this banner to warn visitors to your site of the dangers of Google's WEI proposal. It's easily installed, all it requires is two lines of HTML to include the JS and CSS. It will display only to Chrome users (and Vivaldi/Brave as a side effect, sorry chaps, but I couldn't narrow the UA detection any further). If you don't know what WEI is or why it is a danger, please read here: https://openwebdefenders.org/ and here: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/web-environment-integrit... If you want to see what the banner looks like but…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

I've created this banner to warn visitors to your site of the dangers of Google's WEI proposal. It's easily installed, all it requires is two lines of HTML to include the JS and CSS. It will display only to Chrome users (and Vivaldi/Brave as a side effect, sorry chaps, but I couldn't narrow the UA detection any further). If you don't know what WEI is or why it is a danger, please read here: https://openwebdefenders.org/ and here: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/web-environment-integrit... If you want to see what the banner looks like but aren't using Chrome (user agent detection disabled) see here: http://soft.thran.uk/no-wei.html

    Web Environment Integrity warning banner for websites2023 · github.com · ▲6

    If a visitor is using a WEI-enabled browser (e.g. Chrome, Edge, Chromium) they will get a full-page warning that their browser is harmful, with a link to the FSF's explanation of why WEI is bad and download links to various browsers that oppose WEI (currently: Firefox, Safari, Brave, Pale Moon, GNOME Web). The user has to close the warning banner to view the website content.

    A Chrome extension that will auto-reject non-essential cookies2025 · blog.bymitch.com · ▲296

    A FOSS chrome extension that attempts to remove the annoyance of cookie pop ups and banners. There are some extensions out there that auto-accept cookies, but I didn't find one that auto rejected cookies without either chaining some extensions together or setting up custom rules in tools like uBlock origin. So with this extension, you just need to add it for non-essential cookies to be rejected.

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

    Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.normalcomputing.ai&#x2F;posts&#x2F;2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
