Stuff I bookmarked recently. Some off topic, some not
Mozilla and Opera remove Avast extensions from their add-on stores, what will Google do?
“A month ago I wrote about Avast browser extensions being essentially spyware. While this article only names Avast Online Security and AVG Online Security extensions, the browser extensions Avast SafePrice and AVG SafePrice show the same behavior: they upload detailed browsing profiles of their users to uib.ff.avast.com. The amount of data collected here exceeds by far what would be considered necessary or appropriate even for the security extensions, for the shopping helpers this functionality isn’t justifiable at all.”
Google founders Page and Brin step back from Alphabet lead
“GOOGLE HAS entered a new phase of life, following the announcement that its founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin are to step down from their roles at the top of the business.
The two boffins were Chief Executive and President of Google’s parent company Alphabet, but following the departures, it’s Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai who will fill the void, expanding his role to the wider company…
The slight paradox here is that by bringing the Google and Alphabet CEO roles together, the company is effectively bringing the alignment of the two companies back together, making it a little bewildering as to why they’re separate in the first place.
The real reasons are that of accounting and accountability, but it just feels like Google wants to realign as much as it can get away with without bringing anti-trust accusations to the table.”
Genius Allegedly Caught Google Stealing its Lyrics With an Ingenious Watermark
“Their watermark, which is applied to all of their content, makes the apostrophes in their lyrics alternate between straight and curly single-quote marks (’ and ’). In a delightful Agatha Christie-like twist, when converted to Morse code, the apostrophes spell out “red handed.”
Huh, another site that starts with G being content thieves.
Ring let police view map of video doorbell installations for over a year
“The company once offered a map, now withdrawn, that allowed police to zoom in to see the specific location of Ring customers.”
