Great show! I admire Steve’s optimism about the Signal kerfuffle, but since there were no consequences whatsoever I’m inclined to think this is going to come up again soon enough. All they learned was to cover their tracks better…

Regarding the XBrowserSync addon; development seems to have stalled. No commits to the GIT repo in 3 years and the Chrome extension hasn’t been updated in 5. Now yes, Steve has talked about code rot and how it’s sometimes overblown, but the banner about it not working is clearly because it’s never been updated for MV3 support. So, maybe not the best thing to hitch your wagon to right now.
