I use chromium for one thing, and it’s casting live sports to my Chromecast. My plans to implement a HTPC have just been expedited.

Will a pihole fill this void?

i’ve got a few using the mv3 ‘lite’ version of ubo here. seems to be sufficient–for now.

Not at the same level. Ublock can remove way more granular spam and ads than pihole, which is limited at DNS requests. I use both… Running Firefox of course.

KillingTimeItself ,

its also available on firefox, de manifested version of chromium are likely to crop up, idk. Depends on how cancer it is to rip that shit out.

TheOneCurly ,

Re-manifested? To fix it you have to reenable manifest v2. That should be simple for a while but will get more problematic over time.

KillingTimeItself ,

de v3 versions, obviously. Mozilla has no intentions of implementing it, and if chrome kills v2, it’s not impossible that mozilla can hit them with an anti trust case and win, considering this is arguably what that would be.

But it will probably start to break on individual shitty websites over time, as per usual unfortunately.

Wiz ,

Switching to Firefox might!

chalupapocalypse ,

I’m already on Firefox, I just meant in general

JovialSodium , (edited )

To an extent. But it wouldn’t surprise me at all if sometime in the near future they force the use their own DNS servers within their browser instead of respecting your network configuration.

The best solution to circumventing Chrome’s bad behavior is to not use it.

Google Chrome warns of a drop of users. There, I corrected the title.

wildncrazyguy138 ,

Yuge! > here, you forgot this.

yoshisaur ,

that’d be great but i’m pretty sure like 90% of chrome users don’t even know what an extension or even an adblocker is. they’ll just keep using chrome because that’s the browser everyone else uses unfortunately

TropicalDingdong ,

Very firefox, very legal very cool.

Google copying mrkrabs lol

For other Chromium browsers or those who don’t see this yet, enable chrome://flags#extension-manifest-v2-deprecation-warning.

the_toast_is_gone ,

Sadly, this won’t stop Google from killing off Manifest V2.

Google’s core business is selling ads. So anything that aligns with selling ads is the path they’ll take. Their users are the product.

trafficnab ,

Chrome really needs to be broken off from Google, the largest ad company owning the largest browser is clearly a huge conflict of interest

Never a better a time to join Mozilla Gang.

Cool, just let me know. My girlfriend uses chrome. I’m happy to set her up with Firefox whenever y’all want to jump the shark.

roofuskit ,

Good thing I ditched Chrome the moment I heard about their plans.

paraphrand ,

Safari is ok too…

If only it was also available on Linux. I really like using it on my Mac.

Safari is trash. Especially on iOS.

cmnybo ,

Thank goodness there is more than one browser available.

Persen ,

And most are chrome.

shimdidly ,

I’m not worried about this at all. I don’t use Chrome anyways. I use Brave. It has a built-in ad blocker that works pretty well and I don’t see that going away.

person420 ,

Here’s the concern with Brave since it’s Chromium based:

For as long as we’re able (and assuming the cooperation of the extension authors), Brave will continue to support some privacy-relevant MV2 extensions—specifically AdGuard, NoScript, uBlock Origin, and uMatrix

source

My emphasis, not theirs

Evilcoleslaw ,

I don’t really use Brave as I don’t want to support the Chromium/Blink/V8 monopoly, but aren’t it’s built-in “Shields” functionally equivalent to uBO but not reliant on the extension APIs?

person420 ,

Probably, hopefully, who knows for sure. That’s the problem with using an open source project run by a corporation.

ronalicious ,

I only use chrome for things that require my Google account.
