Why not focus on the benefits of the Reject Service Worker extension instead of that annoying ECH that I can't implement (and you should know this), please?
Have you read the first post on this page?

Hmm @Sampei.Nihira - why I have on this defo.ie ECH check page: https://defo.ie/ech-check.php
SSL_ECH_STATUS: not attempted x
- in my all Chrome forks?..
EDIT:
From stats page of: https://defo.ie/
"OpenSSL with ECH
ECH not attempted
TLS Session details:
This TLS version forbids renegotiation.
---
no client certificate available"
- From support.netsweeper.com article: https://support.netsweeper.com/hc/en-us/articles/7115508502804-Encrypted-Client-Hello-ECH-
"What is ECH?
TLS Encrypted ClientHello (ECH) is an experimental mechanism for Transport Layer Security version 1.3 (TLS 1.3) that is designed for encrypting ClientHello messages under a server public key.
The intent of ECH is to protect the privacy of users by preventing someone who is monitoring network traffic to able to determine the domain name of a website that a user is browsing to.
What major browsers support ECH?
ECH is currently available In Mozilla's Firefox browser as an experimental feature that can only be enabled in about:config. For more information about Mozilla's ECH implementation, visit the Mozilla Security Blog.
For Edge Version 105 and above, ECH can only be enabled for test purposes with the following option for the command.
edge.exe --enable-features=EncryptedClientHello
For more information about ECH in Edge : You can now Enable Encrypted Client Hello (Encrypted SNI or ESNI/ECH) in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Tech Community
For Chrome ECH is not currently available."
Chrome Platform Status: Feature: TLS Encrypted Client Hello (ECH): https://chromestatus.com/feature/6196703843581952
- From the windowsclub.com article: Enable Encrypted Client Hello in Microsoft Edge to improve privacy: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-encrypted-client-hello-in-microsoft-edge
"Microsoft is always looking for new ways to improve Edge browser, and the latest is all about adding support for Encrypted Client Hello or ECH. For those who are not fully aware, Encrypted Client Hello is a mechanism found in Transport Layer Security protocol, or TLS, that improves privacy by encrypting every privacy-sensitive factor of the TLS connection."
- so (for now...) it's implemented for new browser called Edge, not for our Chrome forks...

I only have two privacy extensions left: Browser Fingerprint Protector, and Reject Service Worker. All other are removed.
To see your Service Workers (before clearing browser data) look on this chrome page: chrome://serviceworker-internals/
Service Worker test: https://simple-push-demo.vercel.app/ - if you have, on this Simple Push Demo test page:
"Unable to Register SW
Sorry this demo requires a service worker to work and it failed to install - sorry
"
- so all is good for you...

History of mobile phones and the first mobile phone
Written by Ray Ali
11 April 2023
Although most of us feel like we couldn't live without our mobile phones, they've not really been in existence for very long.
In fact, mobile phones as we know them today have only been around in the last 20 years.
When were mobile phones invented?
Mobile phones, particularly the smartphones that have become our inseparable companions today, are relatively new.
However, the history of mobile phones goes back to 1908 when a US Patent was issued in Kentucky for a wireless telephone.
Mobile phones were invented as early as the 1940s when engineers working at AT&T developed cells for mobile phone base stations.
The very first mobile phones were not really mobile phones at all. They were two-way radios that allowed people like taxi drivers and the emergency services to communicate.
Instead of relying on base stations with separate cells (and the signal being passed from one cell to another), the first mobile phone networks involved one very powerful base station covering a much wider area.
Motorola, on 3 April 1973 were first company to mass produce the the first handheld mobile phone...

6 Countries Where Slavery Still Exists
Thought slavery had ended? Not for everyone.
By Sharon Lynn Pruitt
Workers seen working in bricks field in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Photo: Zakir Chowdhury/Barcroft Images/Getty
Slavery is often characterized as an archaic, inhumane practice of the past. But it isn’t, as much as we would like it to be. Slavery is still a grim reality, one that millions of people are trapped in. In 2016, the Global Slavery Index counted 45.8 million enslaved people in 167 countries, with one in four victims being children. Still, there is progress being made; earlier this month, in Mauritania, a West African country where slavery is an ongoing problem, courts sentenced two slave owners to 10 and 20 years in prison, marking the country’s harshest ruling against slavery yet, Reuters reports.
Today, slavery takes many forms, from sex trafficking and forced marriage to forced and bonded labor. The Washington Post counts 60,000 enslaved people just here in the United States — if you don’t count prison labor.
Here are 6 more countries where slavery is still a part of life — for now...

Explaining the Universe’s accelerated expansion without dark energy
by Andrey Feldman | Dec 19, 2022
A modification to the theory of general relativity makes it consistent with observable astronomical data without the need for dark energy.
Since its completion in 1915, Einstein’s theory of general relativity has been the basis of our understanding of gravity. This theory has passed many experimental tests and is used to explain not only physics on the scale of planets, stars, and galaxies, but even the evolution of the cosmos as a whole. However, it does have some shortcomings.
Recent astronomical observations have shown that the Universe is expanding at an accelerating rate, and although this does not necessarily contradict with ideas put forth in general relativity it is necessary to assume the existence of an entity called dark energy, a mysterious influence driving the accelerated expansion
The origin of dark energy is currently unclear, and an understanding of its properties is still lacking. Therefore many physicists, for whom simplicity and minimalism are often important criteria for the validity of a scientific theory, the inclusion of a substance or entity that has been, to date, unobservable by any experimental means, is somewhat undesirable.
To remedy this shortcoming, a team of physicists at the Birla Institute of Technology and Science in Pilani, India have proposed modifying general relativity, making it no longer necessary to consider this mysterious form of energy in order for the theory to be consistent with observable astronomical data.
Eliminating the need for dark energy
General relativity interprets gravity as a deformation of spacetime by particles and fields whose behavior is in turn affected by these changes in the spacetime geometry. Both actors influence each other, which is similar to what happens in electromagnetism where an electric field changes the trajectories of charged particles, which in turn change the electric field. Einstein postulated a very specific way of how this subtle, mutual influence of geometry and matter occurs, and changing the details of this interaction is what the authors of the new study proposed.
The equations of a theory of gravity may be applied to various physical situations, such as to study the geometry of the entire Universe as it evolved after the Big Bang. Using these, one can find the rate at which space expands and compare the solution to the observational data. The requirement that the solution of Einstein’s equations be consistent with observations required the introduction of dark energy into the equations.
In the new study, the physicists solved the equations of the alternative gravity theory, called the “squared torsion gravity”, and found that the expansion rate of the Universe is better described by this theory than by general relativity, even without the need to introduce “missing components” to general relativity in the form of dark energy.
Modifying how gravitational fields interact with matter within these equations resulted in a changed influence of matter on spacetime geometry – a similar effect to that of hypothetical types of dark energy dubbed “quintessence” without the need for them.
Future studies of the dynamics of the Universe expansion will certainly help verify the theoretical results obtained here by the physicists.
“The experiments are not planned yet, but the theoretical validation of our theory can be done with observational data,” said Simran Arora, one of the authors of the study...

Oil Tanker Vanishes After Pirates Board Off West Africa
BY TYLER DURDEN
FRIDAY, APR 14, 2023 - 02:25 PM
Singapore-flagged oil tanker Success 9 is missing off the coast of Africa after a suspected pirate attack, reported Bloomberg.
On Monday, approximately 300 nautical miles off the coast of Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, the automatic identification system (AIS) transmission for Success 9 went down.
Owners of Success 9 have been unable to contact the ship since it was boarded Monday night off Ivory Coast, according to a statement from the government of Singapore, where the vessel is registered. The incident is being treated as an act of piracy, according to General Boniface Konan, director of the maritime security center for West Africa, known as Cresmao. -- Bloomberg
Here are the last seven days of the vessel's AIS data:
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said approximately 20 crew from various nationalities, including a Singapore citizen, are on board.
"MPA is working closely with the ship owner, Monrovia Regional Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre and the Information Fusion Centre at the Changi Command and Control Centre to monitor the situation and render the necessary assistance."
The maritime news website gCaptain said this incident comes just weeks after the Dutch-owned tanker Monjasa Reformer was commandeered by pirates off the coast of the Republic of Congo in March.

What are neuromorphic computers?
by Advanced Science News | Mar 13, 2023
To make computers faster and more efficient, scientists are using the brain as a model in this blossoming area of computer science.
With the development of computer chips based on silicon and other semiconductor materials, we have witnessed a technological revolution over the last several decades.
Over time, computers have shrunk from the size of whole rooms to single chips. This trend has been driven by Moore’s law, a term used to refer to the observation made by Gordon Moore in 1965 that predicted that the number of components per integrated chip will double every two years, leading to exponentially faster computers.
But with more sophisticated computers, robots, internet of things (IoT), and intelligent machines, computational demands are only growing, and the semiconductor industry is reaching the limits of its ability to miniaturize computer chips — you can only realistically fit so many transistors on one chip!
Therefore, computer scientists are turning to a new type of computer architecture called neuromorphic computing, in which computers are built to process information and interact with the world like the human brain.
This area of research is largely becoming more and more popular and is fully recognized as the first step in hardware building for computers and artificial intelligence systems. In this Explainer, we delve into everything you need to know about this burgeoning field and what it means for the future of computer science....

Now try and switch it on in your 360 explorer and it will not work ! From what I gather, all chinese browsers intentionally broke it !
How to check ? You need to trace the browser UDP connections to 1.1.1.1 (or another safe DNS) with DNSQuerySniffer. Try it.
I have DNSQuerySniffer, but it never captures anything... the DNSQuerySniffer window rest blank. Tried many websites, but it always rest blank.
