Scrolled down someone's random page with this extension and the browser tab froze and stopped accepting input (mouse & keyboard). Without any technical explanation I would say this is just removing the overlay and does not accomplish what it states.
Love these end-of-year recaps because I find the split between podcasts \ music is getting much better recognition in the past few years. 51 days (~74,000min) of total listening this year, wow.
I believe the typing content was itself the changelog for that particular release and the flak received by the author will prevent it from happening again in the future afaik.
I am rather concerned that this failed to leave out Eli Whitney[0], whose contributions for interchangeable gun parts were taught to me in university history class.
> By January 1801, Whitney had failed to produce a single one of the promised weapons, and was called to Washington to justify his use of Treasury funds before a group that included outgoing president John Adams and Jefferson, now the president-elect. As the story goes, Whitney put on a display for the group, assembling muskets before their eyes by choosing (seemingly at random) from a supply of parts he brought with him. The performance earned Whitney widespread renown and renewed federal support. It was later proven, however, that Whitney’s demonstration was a fake, and that he had marked the parts beforehand and they were not exactly interchangeable. Still, Whitney received credit for what Jefferson claimed was the dawn of the machine age.
