Sadly Lidl trollies in the UK doesn't. At least not at my local.

Their trollies used to have plastic hooks fitted to the front of the trolly, but they've been removed for some reason πŸ˜ͺ

Interesting πŸ€” "intercept" as in to rip them?

Hello πŸ‘‹πŸ» fellow AdGuard user here. This extension never gets much mention – people seem to prefer AdBlock and uBlock Origin for whatever reason – but I'm very happy with AdGuard and have used it for years now.

I don't have any issues reading articles online. I wonder if we're subscribed to different filter lists.

I believe there's a filter called "anti-adblocker" or something – I would suggest you enable that if you don't already have it enabled. My understanding is that it'll block scripts that check if you have an adblocker – resulting in fewer of those "please disable your adblocker" banners.

They can still reject the proposal. Just because they're built upon Chromium, doesn't mean they need to utilise or retain every feature Google adds to it.

Agreed. News about X is not news about technology.

What better way to create the image of a thriving userbase, than for your userbase to literally create the image.
