@kboyd I also would argue that extensions may not be the best solution for some features especially those used for #accessibility as this would make discoverability and use much harder for some users, and extensions can only use certain public APIs/ABIs and their features are limited or can be even removed on a whim (see, #Manifestv3)

control the market. It also means its not going anywhere anytime soon.

3. Manifest V2 is dead. Yes, it is supported by Firefox but it'll be dropped eventually. Maintaining V2 and V3 simultaneously will be exhausting for the Firefox team that's already severly undermanned.

Mozilla's blog discusses the transition to Manifest V3 for Firefox ad blockers. This change impacts how extensions function, aiming to enhance performance and security. Users may notice differences in ad-blocking capabilities and overall browser experience. The update is part of ongoing efforts to improve web standards and user privacy. #Firefox #ManifestV3 #AdBlockers #WebPrivacy

#Google #Chrome disables #uBlock Origin for some in #ManifestV3 rollout
For those unaware, Manifest V3 is Chrome's latest extension specification and is designed to limit extension access to user network requests, block developers from utilizing remote content, and improve overall performance.
If you're affected by Google's #ManifestV2 deprecation, you can switch to Manifest V3-supported extensions, such as the #uBlockOriginLite, which #uBlockOrigin developer has created.

uBlock Origin is dead for Chrome, but ad blockers live on | PCWorld

You can read more about each of these extensions in PCWorld’s rundown of alternative ad-blockers, but there’s also a fifth option: switching to Firefox. It’s the one major browser not based on Chromium, the open-source code powering Chrome and browsers like Opera, Brave, and Vivaldi, etc. Accordingly, the full-fat version of uBlock Origin is still available. In fact, it’s the only version, because Mozilla’s missteps caused the death of uBlock Origin Lite. (Sigh.)

Hey y'all.
It's time.

I remember when Chrome came out and it was the saviour of the web. Fast performance, low memory usage, minimalist clean design. Firefox had a lot of stability issues at that time.

IE was finally killed and an open source rendering engine was put in its place. Albeit wrapped in a proprietary package but we overlooked that.

Now Chrome is an incredible resource hog, with corporate spyware out of the box – no need for malware plugins, it comes built in (see Chrome Enterprise profiles).

Google may or may not be _intentionally_ crippling ad blocking but they sure won't lift a finger to improve privacy.

Just all sorts of general degeneracy.

What has been insidious is that Chromium inside Chrome is FOSS but it is controlled by a corporate that monetises your privacy. There are dozens of well meaning alternative browsers that use Chromium as an engine but they won't have a sway on its direction.
