People all this stress can be avoided if more channels upload videos on peertube. U block origin wouldnt even be needed as generally no ads are on peertube.

OrkneyKomodo ,

Amazing how versioning can give an air of legitimacy through the illusion of progress.

netchami ,

That’s why we need to switch away from this proprietary garbage and use Firefox or LibreWolf (Firefox on steroids with less bloat, improved privacy and even pre-installed uBlock Origin)

dewritoninja ,

Does libre wolf support Wayland?

netchami ,

Yes, I use it on Hyprland and it works perfectly.

I’ve disabled chrome on all my devices some time ago, so this is fine.

What is this misleading ad nauseam crap? uBO Lite has existed for a good while since the codebase changes started to make rounds with Chrome 85 (or 87) version. It is a uBO without the manual matrix toggling and element picker, but has all the adblocker lists you can pick.

If you want to use the real deal that empowers the user, Chromium browsers are not an option. They are a second opinion browser. Boycott anyone, even those Bromite/Cromite/Vanadium evangelists for Android, who go around bullshitting how Firefox is “insecure”.

Allowing any deranged “security” zealot into FOSS community and projects is a mistake. Boycott GrapheneOS, boycott Brad Spengler, boycott grsecurity, boycott clowns like madaidan, boycott the ones that go around shitting on F-Droid and promote Google Play Store in the same breath.

JGrffn ,

Why boycott GrapheneOS? I feel a bit OOTL here, I only know the drama with the ex-lead dev, but I understand that the project as a whole is your best bet at a mobile experience that you control. Am I missing something?

This spans 4 years of privacy community, and explains how the security cult that tries to hack through FOSS community works. If you take just 1-2 hours to go through every piece of information and evidence here, you will no longer be OOTL. I am a true privacy militant.

The 5th year aka last year is here, but it is more focused on the key entity, since rest of the people are no longer as active, and this is the last big hurdle. old.reddit.com/…/grapheneos_corporate_foss_loving…

I wrote and covered all of this for years to hope people listen to one reasonable privacy person that’s not a conspiratorial nutjob.

Didn’t expect the day to come when I can no longer use Chromium based browsers.

Oh well, anyway.

This article is really wrong, wow. There is already a Manifest V3-compliant version of uBlock Origin, it’s discussed in this thread: github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/338

I don’t know if it’s stated definitively anywhere, but I’m pretty sure the plan is to roll out that different version to Chrome users as an update to the existing extension. It’s going to be slightly worse because MV3 is still missing some API features.

cupcakezealot ,
@cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

that version works but it’s always been a lite version compared to the standard ublock origin with far less capabilities and features.

corbin ,

Right, my point was just that the article is wrong/clickbait. The changes won’t “disable uBlock Origin” or “essentially kill off uBlock Origin”.

Phrodo_00 ,

The V3 version of ublock should really use a different name to make it clear it doesn’t have the same capabilities as in V2/Firefox. Maybe something like UBlock use-firefox-instead.

GreenMario ,

Enshitification continues.

donut4ever ,

That, my friends, is why we kept fighting for firefox. It doesn’t matter if you like or dislike Mozilla foundation, they have to exist because of shit like this

ava ,

yet we already have a working implementation of ublock origin for mv3 by it’s main developer, gorhill

Trainguyrom ,

When I read about that like a year ago gorhill had clearly stated that the mv3 version’s efficacy is severely kneecapped and while it works as well as it can it’s extremely bad in comparison to the present version on Firefox and Edge

b0gl ,

How is edge working better than chrome? It’s basically just a reskinned chrome.

Trainguyrom ,

Edge has been picking and choosing what features to carry over and off the top of my head announced they wouldn’t be merging in the most unpopular MV3 changes

Firefox has the same problem with V3, it has nothing to do with the browser, adblocker V2 will stop working, because are the advertising companies wich will use V3 scripts. For Chrome and Chromium the only thing is, that are no more V2 adblocker in the Chrome Store and installed adblock extensions won’t work anymore. after June 24. But don’t panic, the fact that adblocker V2 stops working does not exclude that there will be adblocker V3, the devs of these are not going to rest on their laurels either.

histic ,

to my knowledge Firefox is keeping compatibility with most current extensions at least in terms of adblockers and privacy tools as they transition to manifest v3

Rinox ,

Didn’t they say they will implement V3, but change it slightly to allow extensions like ublock origin to block web requests? Also I’m pretty sure there’s still no timeline for any deprecation of V2 in FF, unlike for Chrome, which will disable all V2 extensions.

Zerush ,
@Zerush@lemmy.ml avatar

Also not a problem in Vivaldi, it has a own inbuild ad/trackerblocker, no need of the Chrome Store for this. Anyway until June 24 also the adblocker devs have updated their products for sure.

Phrodo_00 ,

If you understood the differences between manifest v2 and v3 you’d understand that it’s pretty much impossible to make an ad blocker with the same effectiveness in V3 as in V2.

So they will exist, just be worse.

@Zerush@lemmy.ml avatar

No blog.shahednasser.com/chrome-extension-tutorial-m…How long do you think it will take the devs to change the adblockers to v3? 3…2…1…

Phrodo_00 ,

That doesn’t even mention the changes to webrequest. Here’s an intro: developer.chrome.com/…/blocking-web-requests/

Zerush , (edited )
@Zerush@lemmy.ml avatar

Only hard and adrich times for Chrome users and some work of the devs from adblockers and other browsers.

What the hell are you talking about? This has nothing to do with what advertising companies do.

The main reason adblockers don’t like manifest V3 is that the webRequest API is gone. The proposed replacement, declarativeNetRequest, does not have the same functionality.

MonkderZweite ,

Google justified this change by highlighting how extensions using the Web Request API could access and modify all the data in a network request, essentially being able to change everything that a user could do on the web (which is pretty scary and problematic when you think about it which is a perfectly valid usecase of a user-installed extension).

gever4ever ,

I mean what else do I want it to do if not modify extend my usage of the web?

yoz ,

Goddamnit I missed out again, faaaackkk! Why do i keep using Firefox ? Why?

TrickDacy ,

Because you don’t randomly insist that your tab UI is some extremely fucking specific way that is somehow required to use the Internet! The nerve!
