weird computer thing:

(my tiny version of uncovering the xz exploit)

while looking into a very specific bug in lichen-markdown, encountered a weird thing in inspector where stylesheet link was being replaced with this weird string that mentions google_ads_iframe

i thought, weird, i definitely didnt put any google_ads_iframe into lichen-markdown

i went through different browser extensions, and found disabling DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, got rid of this ... i dont remember installing that extension ... and maybe this is intended behavior and i dont understand what is doing ... but I needed to disable it in order to look at and fix the bug i was trying to fix ... and i feel like continuing to keep it disabled as that string looks weird and is confusing to me

i guess its probably applying css to "google_ads_iframe" or something to block it ... and just also happened to be applying css to the iframe in lichenmarkdown in a way that was preventing me looking at a bug ...

shout out to minimalist programming and websites where you know all the things that are on the page so you notice when there is something unexpected (even if harmless in this case)
