Good thing I stopped using Chrome

Grandwolf319 , (edited )

How could they even allow this? Isn’t ublock an independent plugin?

Also, how about other chromium browsers?

EDIT: click bait headline, chrome is just deprecating a dependency it uses and ublock isn’t using the new version yet.

Edit 2: I didn’t realize v3 was nurfed intentionally,

Fuck google

Johanno ,

This was all about the news probably 2 years ago. Chrome uses a new api manifest that does not allow for changes in websites like blocking specific type of content. Once manifest v3 is fully implemented and enforced there will be no way for ublock origin to work correctly anymore.

Grandwolf319 ,

Didn’t realized v3 was nurfed on purpose, should never give google the benefit of the doubt.

The word “just” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in your edit. The replacement for that dependency doesn’t allow an extension to work as an ad blocker as effectively as the thing they are deprecating. This is deliberate.

Added a second edit :)

Their new UI made the browser unusable anyway. Looks like a child toy to me.

I don’t really love Firefox’s default UI but I can customize it with about:config and userChrome.css to fit my taste.

Daily plug for Cromite: github.com/uazo/cromite

Chrome, but it doesn’t suck, doesn’t track you, and it has good, fast native adblock.

Also in some linux repos now. I know its in CachyOS. And it’s on Android, too.

peopleproblems ,

Now what would be impressive is if they ban uBlock origin from working on firefox mobile. That would be a whole new kind of sinister

Etterra ,

Lol like anyone smart still used Google.

tinfoilhat ,

I’ll just side load it. Fuck you Google

ArbitraryValue ,

Bring back Internet Explorer.

I don’t think I’ve seen that sentence.

It’s 2024, madness rules these times. Witness the fall of Rome, heralded by a blue “e”.

I would rather eternally sign my soul over to Chrome-hell than spend 5 minutes with Internet Explorer ever again

That’s one way to say that you like the smell of lead-based gasoline.

You spelled Netscape Navigator wrong.

cactopuses ,

I mean that’s just Firefox :p

ArbitraryValue ,

Netscape Navigator is spelled “Firefox”.

I tried to look that up on Alta Vista but kept getting a 404 for that site.

As someone who started in tech support in 2000 and is a software developer now: absolutely not.

hogmomma ,

Could a grease monkey script do something similar? I’m probably just talking out of my butt, but it seems like GM can sometimes do things easier or better (or just at all) that extensions can’t or won’t do.

Natanael ,

If GM can do it then uBlock can do it. The problem is restriction of APIs

hogmomma ,

Ah, gotcha.

The one and only thing keeping me on Chrome... well, Ungoogled Chromium... is the webassembly performance which is just abysmal in comparison on Firefox, sadly.
