Just so I don't fool you, and just so I'm speaking for the record, my plan to implement the ability to convert YouTube links to embedding in Vue.js was then abandoned.
However, I realized that I could achieve the same functionality with Misskey's summary proxy; Iceshrimp originally had the ability to convert YouTube URLs to embedded videos with the summary proxy.

It's worth remembering that Frederick Douglass saw photography as a method of combating white supremacy -- specifically, the cruel racist caricatures from white painters: "Negroes can never have impartial portraits at the hands of white artists."

1. Europe proposes a ceasefire.
2. Putin deflects and says we should meet to negotiate in Istanbul on Thursday (planning to send Lavrov).
3. Zelenskyy responds, I will meet Putin in Istanbul Thursday. Personally.
There is a 0.0 percent chance that Putin, who is a war criminal wanted by the ICC, shows up in Istanbul, and when he doesn’t, Ukraine and Europe will say, Putin is not serious about wanting peace.
(Turkey is not party to the Rome statute but has close diplomatic ties with the ICC)

Bathsheba at her Toilet, Cornelis Cornelisz. van Haarlem, 1594
Bathsheba bathes out of doors assisted by two maidservants. King David spies the young woman from the roof of his palace and instantly falls in love. In this painting, the king remains unseen as Cornelisz van Haarlem depicted the Old Testament story from his point of view. We, the viewers, assume the role of David spying on the three nude women.

while Vivaldi is an awesome browser that I'd like to use as my default, there are two things I use regularly that make me switch back to Safari every time for reasons of user-friendliness:
1. (less important) Open tabs that have been synchronized from other devices are displayed on the new tab page below the favorites (Safari's version of SpeedDial).
2. (most important) When I click on the address bar, the favorites and synced tabs are also displayed there, so I can easily switch between my favorite sites without having to open a new tab every time to get to SpeedDial...
It would be great if there was something similar in Vivaldi (desktop and mobile) too!
Interesting ideas.
