For other Chromium browsers or those who don't see this yet, enable chrome://flags#extension-manifest-v2-deprecation-warning.

Search engine crawlers identify themselves (user agents), so they can be prevented by both honor-based system (robots.txt) and active blocking (error 403 or similar) when attempted.

Well, you are not expected to grip around the lens, you don't want to smudge the lens anyway. Hence the lens' thickness is not that relevant day-to-day, while I do agree that it can still be relevant in certain cases.

Vivaldi and Brave have the option to disable the Hangouts extension in settings, which should disable this.

As linked in the article, it is indeed used for "Hangouts" (Meet) troubleshooting.

What if you used a part of your palm instead of a finger?

With manifest v2, extensions could block the content however they wanted, reading and modifying DOM as they see fit.

Google claims that it is a security risk, so with manifest v3, extensions can only create and give the browser rules and the browser itself will block content based on them. The rules have a limit in size and capabilities.

If that was still not clear, try thinking of unrestricted SQL access vs a UI for modifying a database.

tabs themselves ought to be part of the window decoration, not the app

Well, Windows did try that. It sounds cool as an idea, but it also severely limits what the tabs can do, as most programs don't need tabs that are as advanced as browsers', and even browsers' implementations of tabs vary widely.

Well, by that logic the parents can do whatever they want with the phone, yes, including stopping cellular service or resetting it entirely. But the OS would still protect the teenager's data from unauthorized access.

Sounds like a work profile, so you could probably simulate it already with something like Island. Although I can't remember if it also has a PIN feature.

Seems like it will fulfill its purpose then - to protect said teenager's data.
