A few months ago, Microsoft decided to collaborate with Google and drop its web engine in favor of Google's.

I found a guy who manipulated OkCupid to the point where he was actually simulating key press rates and mouse movements to be able to get around their a bot detection tools.

I know for a fact there's an entire underground movement leveraging Facebook and Amazon. Paying pretty good money to counteract their AI to be able to sell affiliate ads.

Good morning everyone and goats, happy Sunday! In this week's feature, the goats enjoy some tasty oak leaves. There is much munching and crunching!

The idea is that users will be able to switch between "advanced mode" (the current interface) and "simple mode" (the interface in the screenshot) from the settings menu.
