. . . FOR SUCKERS
Maybe then Chrome can finally die.
Chrome messing with my uBlock Origin extension, disabling it and uninstalling it when all this started, was the last straw. I promptly made the jump to Floorp/Firefox and even though I was scared for a long time to switch, it was all good and have zero regrets. I’m very happy I ditched Chrome.
I held out until the first ad got through adblock (about a year ago, I think?). Switched the same day. Should have done it a lot sooner. I thought it would be a whole thing, but I was set up i a few minutes.
Sucks to be whoever’s still using that fucking spyware
I will say that the best thing about having an OS install on an unsupported machine is that Chrome and even Chromium Legacy (buggy as fuck) no longer work with a damn.
Not that I ever used the browser in any real way, but oh, it’s nice not to have to fret over this MV2 horseshit… (laughs in firefox dynasty…)
This teaches us that being open source is not enough. If it’s managed by big tech, it’s still not good. Technically, anyone can take the source and make a fork, but in practice, it’s rarely viable for smaller groups to take a big project and start maintaining it. The same applies to android
Seriously, who is still using Chrome?
Apparently Firefox still supports MV2.
They do, but it should also be noted that Google’s implementation of MV3 was specifically designed to target adblocking and we know this because Firefox’s implementation of MV3 still enables full adblocking capabilities. So even if Firefox does away with MV2 entirely, uBlockOrigin can work with their MV3.
it supports it and the dev for ubo has outright had benchmarks that ubo blocks more stuff on gecko engine based browsers vs chromium based browsers even during manifest v2 era.
