What specifically is "google propaganda and fear mongering" in the article?
Mentions UBlock seems.to be fast and safe, but that the API used lets extensions look at everything you do amd can dramatically affect browser speed. Implying that UBlock Origin is responsible for Chrome being such a memory Hog and that they, not Google, are the ones after your data.
Except the part where it didn't imply that at all?
The article goes out of its way to not do what you're accusing it of. I don't understand how you've managed to read the article as having the opposite slant as what it actually does.
They do not care, never have, never will. Cost of operation.
Not enough even care that would make noticable difference in market share.
And they all stopped using it, right? Right?
Can you math? Feature gap almost same as before.
That's up to 30K dynamic rules, at least 30K static rules, and at least 1K regex rules: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/declarativeNetRequest#property-GUARANTEED_MINIMUM_STATIC_RULES
That seems like it's fine for general use, and those limits might go up again. EasyList and the other big lists can be consolidated to varying degrees with Chrome's rules format, and there's probably some dead rules in there. uBlock Origin on Firefox will definitely be more versatile moving forward, but every time I've used uBlock Origin Lite in Chrome it's almost the same experience.
Why even make limit at all? Should not have any.
Source? Or you just assume they can? What about specific list? List by small maintainer?
Not convinced feature gap any better yet just by slightly higher number and not said real number and vague „can compress list“.
Also, until Hill say satisfied with api or proven it enough to fight google head on in adblock war, not think good enough.
