Chromium browsers don’t allow extensions (uBlock Origin being the best) to block ads as effectively due to their implementation of Manifest V3. The Firefox implementation doesn’t share that limitation.

Yes, there is a difference, but it’s minor and big stuff, like adblocking not working as well, are true of Chrome and Chromium.
Edge is Chrome.
Insurgencies work and has been proven time and time again. See: Iraq
The insurgents lost in Iraq. I know you stopped paying attention when FOX News moved on, but the Iraqi government won.
Yeah, I don’t trust TERF Island to do this right. They’ll ban Contrapoints long before they ban Rowling.
They’re completely meaningful and not at all patronizing. (Do you even know what that word means?)
Not wrong, in that the studies are valid, and completely relevant to your point.
Guns kill their owners far more often than they kill home invaders and other intruders.
According to EU rules, eventual video calls to emergency services would be obligated to have the video feature on both ends — the caller and the dispatcher.
“Obliged” means “required”
99% isn’t good enough for emergency services. Also, sometimes, video is too dangerous.
Doesn’t seem to be what the article says:
According to EU rules, eventual video calls to emergency services would be obligated to have the video feature on both ends — the caller and the dispatcher.
“Obliged” means “required”

So people without video phones, or who can’t use video phones, can’t call emergency services.
You’re more likely to kill yourself or a loved one than a home invader.

Researchers find ‘zero evidence of any kind of protective effects’, with women at particular risk
[snip]
Living with a handgun owner particularly increased the risk of being shot to death in a domestic violence incident, and it did not provide any protection against being killed at home by a stranger, the researchers found.

While gun-suicide rates are higher in rural states, which have proportionally more gun owners, the gun-suicide link plays out in urban areas, too. “In the early 1990s, the dramatic rise in young black male suicides was in lock step with the homicide epidemic of those years,” says HSPH’s Deborah Azrael, associate director of the Harvard Youth Violence Prevention Center. “Young black male suicide rates approached those of young white males—though black suicide rates had always been much lower than white suicide rates. It was entirely attributable to an increase in suicide by firearms.” Put simply, the fatal link applies across the board. “It’s true of men, it’s true of women, it’s true of kids. It’s true of blacks, it’s true of whites,” says Azrael. “Cut it however you want: In places where exposure to guns is higher, more people die of suicide.”
I’m sure you will have questions. Physicists still have questions. ☺ For example, we don’t know why there are three generations of quarks and leptons. Even my very, very brief overview can lead directly into mysteries of the universe.
The particles are fairly easy:
There’s two basic categories of fundamental particle, fermions and bosons, based on what kind of spin they have. Spin in quantum mechanics is a fundamental property; there’s no way to stop an electron (for example) from spinning or to give it more spin. Fermions have half-odd-integer spin and so obey Fermi-Dirac statistics, which means there can’t be more than one of them in a given quantum state. Bosons have integer spin and so obey Bose-Einstein statistics, which means they can bunch up in quantum states. This leads to electrons, which are fermions, separating themselves into separate electron shells, which results in the solid matter we know and love, and bosonic atoms like rubidium being able to form a Bose-Einstein condensate, which has a lot of interesting properties.
Fermions are divided into quarks and leptons, where quarks are fermions that do participate in the strong interaction and leptons are fermions which do not. There’s three generations of each; the quark generations go up and down, strange and charm, and top and bottom, with each generation more massive, and therefore more short-lived, than the previous. All matter you’ve ever directly experienced is made of up and down quarks, which combine to form protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei, using gluons to mediate the strong force. Leptons may be charged or uncharged, by which I mean electrical charge, and also come in three generations named after the charged “electron-like” lepton of that generation, those being electrons, muons, and tauons. Each of those charged leptons has a charge of -1, and, again, each generation is more massive and shorter-lived than the previous. The neutral leptons are the neutrinos, which only participate in the weak interaction and gravity and, therefore, barely interact with other matter at all. Huge volumes of neutrinos from the Sun ghost right through Earth completely unchanged, night and day. Yes, we have solar neutrinos shining up through the ground on us at night. The neutrinos, while they do come in three generations (electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos, and tau neutrinos), have a very poorly-understood mass; while it cannot be zero, we don’t know what it is, only that it’s very small, and beneath some threshold value which gets revised downwards every so often.
Bosons are force carriers, and divided into two categories based on mathematical properties beyond even this post. The gauge bosons, all with spin 1, are the photon, which carries the electromagnetic force, the W and Z bosons, which carry the weak force, and eight gluons, which carry the strong force. The only scalar boson, with spin 0, is the Higgs boson, which is one of the things that helps give matter mass.
Particles have antiparticles, which have equal and opposite charges (electromagnetic, weak, and so on) to their opposite number. For example, the electron’s antiparticle, called the positron, has an electromagnetic charge of +1. Even neutrinos have antiparticles, which helps balance the books as regards something called lepton number. However, some truly neutral particles, such as the photon, the Z boson, and the Higgs boson, are their own antiparticles.
