So much for Republicans being "tough on crime," this law would be more effective (for the purpose of fighting street crime) if they just removed the whole racist bullshit. Of course, that's not what this law is intended to do. This is some stupid political game where Republicans present a bill that is "intended" to fight street crime. Every sane person and media establishment will see and criticise it for being racist, which it is. Then Republicans and Fox can yell about how those darn woke communists "don't care about the community" and "aren't tough on crime." Also did I mention it's hella racist? Because it's hella racist.

RAR isn't open source.

Wow, didn't think something like that had happened. That is a valid concern. However, it could be mitigated by disabling auto update and subscribing to the GitHub releases via RSS. Then you can either manually check for malicious commits, or if the extension is more popular, wait a bit for any bad news to come out about the update. Obviously, this isn't possible for everyone and every extension, so I can understand why people would be cautious of more extensions, but I think Libredirect is a big enough extension that you would hear about it, like the case with Nano Adblocker.

Okay, that's probably the reason then.

I'm surprised people still use commercial dictionaries when Wiktionary exists. Is there a reason more people don't use it?

It's FOSS. You can verify that the code doesn't make any malicious requests. The only requests it should make are to GitHub/Codeberg to update the list of instances.

Oh, how dare they use legal mechanisms to try to prosecute a person who participated in insurrection against the United States? And yes, Facebook is a shining example of collusion with the radical leftists. As we all know, they have never helped our glorious leader Tonald Drump gain power.

Oh I'm sure they have plenty of problems, but it's probably only minorities and poor people who experience them so who cares!

Ah. Guess I've just been lucky.
