I finally found some time to continue to work my other WordPress plugin. WP DoNotTrack checks for elements being added to the DOM by JavaScript to stop 3rd party tracking by some of the major plugins or themes. Version 0.6.0, which I released last week, features a new “forced” option. This mode aims to provide … Read more
frank posted Porting “Me & My Shadow” to the Web – C++ to JavaScript/Canvas via Emscripten.
You can do great things in JavaScript; accessing the DOM and adding, changing or removing nodes as you please.

On a blog that uses WP YouTube Lyte which I happened to stumble across, the following warning was displayed: Hey! If you’re browsing in Firefox, there’s a very good chance that you won’t see youtube / video embeds. As I really don’t like bugs but couldn’t reproduce any issue myself, I contacted the blog’s owner … Read more

A month ago I added BrowserMob to my toolbox. I’m sure I’m the last web-guy in the world to discover BrowserMob (or “Neustar Web Performance”, as of yesterday), but just in case you don’t know them either, it is an online service that provides availability- and performance-monitoring for websites and -applications. Great stuff, really; create … Read more
Did you know you can limit the damage an iframe can do by adding the “sandbox” attribute? And that you can add a value to that attribute to loosen your grip if you choose to do so? I remember reading about this a couple of years ago or so, but forgot as support for this … Read more
I pushed out a major new version of WP DoNotTrack to the WordPress plugin repository and major in this case means: you can now choose between a blacklist and whitelist-approach (previous version did blacklisting only) define what exactly is in that black- or whitelist (previous version came with a hardcoded blacklist) option to block javascript-initiated … Read more
