      VoIP.ms - New Feature: Phone Book Groups

      The phone book groups feature is located under "DID Numbers" then under "Phone Book". You can now create unique groups that fit your needs (e.g. family, work or friends)! Groups can also be used in combination with our CallerID filtering feature. You could for instance route all your calls from your "family" group to your personal mobile.

        Google planning changes to Chrome that could break ad blockers

        The APIs that ad blockers depend on are also popular among malicious extensions.

        Google is planning to change the way extensions integrate with its Chrome browser. The company says that the changes are necessary for and motivated by a desire to crack down on malicious extensions, which undermine users' privacy and security, as part of the company's continued efforts to make extensions safer. The move also means that popular ad blocking extensions such as uBlock Origin and uMatrix will, according to their developer, no longer work.

              Looks like I won't be using chrome any more (very little use currently). Eat a dick, google.

                What are you currently using now? Firefox? Other Chromium-based browsers?

                  @black3dynamite Opera mostly. I keep chrome and FF for sites that Opera doesn't like.

                    Hulu will make its basic plan cheaper as Netflix gets pricier

                    The company is positioning itself for a year of fiercer competition.

                    In February, Hulu will drop the price of its ad-supported, on-demand streaming service from $7.99 per month to $5.99, while also raising the base price of its live TV cable replacement service from $39.99 per month to $44.99, Deadline reports. Its ad-free on-demand service will stay at $11.99.

                        @mlnews I use the Google Tv platform and its been decent. I haven't used anything else though so not much to base that on. Anything that is better than Google TV?

                            Do you mean YouTube TV, or is there a separate service called Google TV?

                                @Obsolesce I second that, mostly for the fact that their "premium" tier that is supposed to be ad-free is most certainly not ad-free.

                                  I don't love Hulu. Mostly, because they don't have digital surround on all but a few devices. Also, they don't have a true commercial-free option. It is limited ads for certain shows. Also, I believe they still have limit of 1 stream at a time, which is dumb. That being said, my gf's sister shares hers, so I can watch Seinfeld.

                                    The commercials are awful, not just a lot of them, but the actual ads are atrocious, too. But they do do more then one stream at a time, even on the cheaper option.

                                        @wrx7m that's odd, because we use more than one at once. It "just works."

                                          I have gotten an "error" message indicating someone else is using the account at the same time. They may have instituted it more recently or just started cracking down. I like that Netflix gives you the option to have 4 streams with the UHD package. I let my parents and gf use it.
