Ad blocking on Android is the killer feature. Can't possibly go into the YouTube app and watch there, it's cancerous

I too, enjoy not being able to watch videos when YouTube API had been changed

Eh, it's usually fixed pretty quickly. When it breaks, I just watch through Firefox with my ad blocker instead.

The YouTube app sucks, I've disabled it and intend to never use it again.

I will never understand why browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab = false is not the default, or why it is not an option in the Tab section of settings.

This is one of the shadiest looking links I've ever seen. No way am I clicking that.

The actual url is https://šime.eu/3

It's called Punycode.

Exactly, in some contexts it is displayed like this to mitigate homograph attacks, where someone creates similar looking URLs for phishing purposes. Nothing shady about Punycode by itself, but it's good to be aware of homograph attacks. Internationalized domain names (IDNs) are cool :)

It's just a website. Actually a decent looking one too.

If someone wanted you to click that link with bad intentions, pretty sure they would have a normal domain name. :)

Yeah, still not clicking it

This is what it redirects to if it seems safer: https://šime.eu/3

Too long didn’t click?
