I mean... What's wrong with youtube tab consuming power "as if it's on screen" if it plays video?

As an avid idle game player, I'm tired of opening games in different window and having main window not-fullscreen just for the game to play normally

This "tab unloading" is great and all, but not giving us users any control to turn it off is awful

Fight against obfuscation is different from fighting for readability

I've tried Ghidra, IDA and BinaryNinja, and all of them display code on the level of "C with classes" from early 00s (and declaration of variables at the beginning of function in style of structured programming of the 90s)

I'd be perfectly fine with that output, had there been good way to interactively fix it (refactor without changing behaviour)

My general experience with decompilation has been very negative (rough and not ready for use)

It feels like tool devs target byte editting more than refactoring decompiled code into something readable - you can't move lines of code, can't flip statement checked in if() for early return

Author of this article mentioned "byte euivalence", and while I'd be fine with functional sameness, I imagine provably-reversible refactor steps would be of great help for everyone

Ukraine didn't give up nukes for false guarantees - it gave them up to not become sanctioned to the level of North Korea and Iran (while at the same time it didn't even have the launchcodes because nobody wants to get Dr.Strangelove-d)
