So, what they're saying is: Chrome will have severely decreased functionality and users will no longer be able to protect themselves from sketchy ads that contain scams, malware, and other nefarious bullshit (often hosted on Google's own ad networks)?

Saying this about any corporation's product is guaranteed not to age well.

[–] parpol@programming.dev 0 points 3 months ago (20 children)

It is open source so not really a corporation's product.

They just maintain it, and the moment they screw up, a fork will take over from there.

Anyone else been having issues of not being able to load YouTube videos past the first few seconds on Firefox using ublock? I couldn't find any recent information online. I don't know if this is part of the war on ad blockers, or unrelated.

[–] errorlab@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago

Yeah, yesterday. I just kept refreshing. FF + unlock + not signed in, seems to trigger it

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.

Google needs to be broken up by government.

[–] ArugulaZ@lemmy.zip 0 points 3 months ago (3 children)

It saddens me to agree with this. Who knew Google would become as oppressive as fucking MICROSOFT?

Daily plug for Cromite: https://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.

There it is. Firefox and Librewolf will guide us out of this mess.

[–] stevegiblets@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Then it's goodbye Chrome.

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.
