Google's "Manifest V2" Chrome extension phaseout next month is expected to impact the original uBlock Origin extension, which still uses the V2 framework and has 37 million users (www.theregister.com)

The new MV3 architecture reflects Google's avowed desire to make browser extensions more performant, private, and secure. But the internet giant's attempt to do so has been bitterly contested by makers of privacy-protecting and content-blocking extensions, who have argued that the Chocolate Factory's new software architecture...

I use Startpage and am happy with it. Yes it uses Google, but Google can't track you as they can only see that the search came from the Startpage server. You also don't get any of the AI summary or sponsored link bullshit. Beyond that, you could try SearXNG which can aggregate results from many engines.

Article says they are tripling the cost, and 9 is more than 3, so...no.

If you're looking to rent for the day, you would never pick 3 cars over 1. And if you already own the 3 cars, you wouldn't go out of your way to rent another one. I don't see how a parking charge would change this, unless it was far heavier than this proposal is.

Additionally, think about how many full 9-seat vans there are in Paris. Think about how many single-occupant SUVs there are. I think the benefit here is pretty clear.
