Pretty sure GP is talking about the HTML elemenent blocker feature, which is not really a solution since you'd still have to use manually on each new site you visit.

I used to have troubles with UI tests too, but then I discovered Cypress (https://www.cypress.io/). You can still run into an issue once in a while, but it's way better than anything else and it's getting even better with each release.
After reading through the website and watching their video, I still don't understand how it works out what it's value proposition is. Is there some demo where I can see and understand how Cypress provides value over the state of the art?
Cypress aims to be as deterministic as possible. You can write tests that wait for a specific xhr request or even mock them. The combination of that and the promise based API makes it much more reliable than selenium.
In practice, I have had much less flakiness in my Cypress tests than with selenium or other webdriver API.
Yes. I've escaped from Dublin to Dungarvan, Ireland almost a year ago. In Dublin, I had to pay 1k euro for a room in a shared apartment, in Dungarvan I have 3 bedroom house for 800 (it was hard to find something smaller). Also switched full-time corporate job to part-time remote so I could spend more time hiking in the beautiful Irish countryside and cooking. I ended up with smaller numbers on my account but much more happy and I can really recommend it.
I used default mirrors and I didn't file a report because I'm not sure where and which part of the system is to blame. All IPv6 traffic was slow. This question is from 2 years ago so I assumed it's a known issue.
It honestly doesn't matter what bug it is. It should be promptly investigated further and solved. Random blame assignment doesn't help anyone. In this case though, seeing how most mirrors still can't do HTTPS I would not be surprised if the IPv6 issue is caused by the mirrors - another thing not yet properly configured.
yes agree about ngx_pagespeed but personally never liked the idea of keeping care of nginx compilation (and all the modules). My advice: https://github.com/cryptofuture/nginx-hda-bundle so that you can use nginx, brotli and pagespeed all in one package :)
