This site lets you identify flags by color, shape, charges etc.

Jesus Christ that's a lot of ads

Does it have a lot of them? I have a blocker so I didn't know.

[-] GeoGio7@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Opening it through an app with no blocker, yeah it's a lot and very obtrusive too

If you have a tendency to accidentally X out of your entire browser with all its tabs by an errant flick of the mouse, then this site as one of your tabs (need to click one for Chrome, as it notes) will have a popup asking if you're sure you want to close everything, letting you prevent that.

or you can just hit cntr shift t

Or reopen your browser and have it restore the history. Yes, I know. But this helps you avoid even that minor hassle from happening at all.

https://curlconverter.com/ converts browser requests to code, huge time saver

[-] Buck@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

The Dev tools in Firefox (and probably other browsers) can do this, too. Not just curl, also fetch and other formats

The only way I see to fix this issue is to use a different search engine which doesn't rely on google or bing. I only know of one which is brave but please let me know if there are any others.

The reason I say this is because it will increase competition and is better for users.

For all my fellow mechanical engineers out there, Custom Parts is an incredible tool for estimating tooling and production costs for injection molding, die casting, stamping, you name it. For runs all the way from 50 parts to 2 million I've found the estimates there to be consistently within 10% of the quotes we've gotten from suppliers

Edit: Corrected link, that's what I get for going off memory lol
