2. uBlock Origin Extra.
uBlock Origin Extra is a companion extension to uBlock Origin which allows the user to gain the ability to foil early hostile anti-user mechanisms working around content blockers.

5. How to retrieve a broken-off pin from an RCA jack.
First, get a fairly strong, – long needle. Bend the tip very slightly with some pliers, and the other end a larger bend to act as a handle. Like this. Then, use a lighter to heat the little barbed tip up until it’s red hot, and push it into the soft plastic inside the snapped-off pin, and twist it slightly so that it gets nicely hooked in there. Let it cool for a bit, and, gently pull the needle up, hopefully bringing the trapped pin with it. Don’t worry if you initially push the pin further into the socket – there’s a finite amount of space in there and you can still pull the whole thing out.
