First, I hope the pilots are ok after ejecting.
Come now, if you're not running the Ghostery extension in your browser, you're doing yourself a disservice. The only time I see an ad is when I'm on a browser I don't control and, yes, it's genuinely shocking how much space is taken up by ads. For that page, in particular, there wasn't an ad in sight. Delightful!
If that's like Reader Mode in Firefox, I use it a lot when available. If it's more like an ad block, I don't trust those, really.
Ghostery is pretty darned trustworthy, being open-source, completely free, and arguably the most established name for ad-blocking and general privacy. I have used it forever. Alternatively, you could consider trying the duckduckgo browser and see how you like that. It has a bunch of privacy stuff built in and will nuke most ads, but not as effectively as Ghostery.
If someone told me I had been using Ghostery and AdBlock Plus for 10 years I could easily believe them. Probably I have used them longer than that, totally friction free.
Sure, but in order to discern what is and is not an ad in your browser, it has to have permission to see everything that happens there. Do you know what's happening to your data to which it has access?
Life's a tradeoff with plenty of risks. In my case I have never seen anything that would make me suspicious of these two tools. They just work. Unobtrusively. And I don't see ads. YMMV of course.
No shortage of SEALs in that location if they want to film a new James Bond underwater battle scene.
That's a movie I'd pay to see in a theater.
I don't understand why. From what I hear, the Chinese clones already fly as if they were recovered from the deep, and the Russians would save money by claiming they already built one . . . But, it caught fire and crashed.
“…According to radio traffic at the time of the crash, the two-seat electronic attack aircraft was approaching NAS North Island. After flying over the runway, the crew of the aircraft ejected, and the plane crashed into the water…”
Oh... I've seen that more than a couple of times, believe me. I was talking about a new version, y'know... though I don't think the water off San Diego is all that clear. Probably best to just watch sonar from above and drop a charge.
Nope - He's not a Black Raven (which we also called the Black Raisins or the Cliff Clavens
)
Seems like that photo is missing something...
Yeah. Canopy and pilots
Or an overhead break.
Maybe. But from what was said about the weather, what the weather looked like in photos and the relationship to the horizon in the photos I wouldn’t bet on it.
Gotta be a story here. How’d they get those nicknames?Nope - He's not a Black Raven (which we also called the Black Raisins or the Cliff Clavens
DuckDuckGo is more about privacy than blocking ads. I use Project Tor for most web searches and research; even stronger on the privacy side.
As an old, long-time IT security guy who still mingles with anti-hack coders, "YMMV" is all to true. Proceed with caution with add-ons; there are many add-ons that could, if the developer wanted to (many do), keylog whatever you do when your browser is running. There's no harm until it happens when you do any online banking or email proprietary information. Even if what you send is encrypted, if you're keylogged it doesn't matter. Just sayin'.
