  • Google is transitioning Chrome's extension support from the Manifest V2 framework to the V3.
  • This means users won't be able to use uBlock Origin to block ads on Google Chrome.
  • However, there's a new iteration of the app — uBlock Origin Lite, which is Manifest V3 compliant but doesn't boast the original version's comprehensive ad-blocking features.

This is as good a place as any to challenge firefox users: what are you doing to support the project?

Using their software doesn't support them, unless you search with Google and I doubt many users reading this do.

Mozilla may be deserving of criticism, but criticism alone does not support them.

I fear that one day we will lose firefox.

What's even worse is every time someone mentions Firefox, some chucklefuck has to go hardcore negative on everything Mozilla does that is 1/10th as shitty as Google. Just shut your piehole if you don't like the only somewhat private open source browser.

Firefox ftw

The only thing that runs Chrome is my work computer only because they installed it and who gives a fuck if they get hacked? I don't even discern search results because I don't get paid enough to care.

Moved to Firefox years ago. I wish they could diversify their income though

My work has edge and chrome. Everything else locked.

Will be seeing ads at work now. Cool.

Charade you are, monopolistic asswipes! I switched to Firefox months ago!

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Man, it's a shame there isn't a good alternative to Chrome based browsers :(

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 3 months ago

Firefox is a very nice experience. If you're still hanging onto Chrome, I strongly suggest you at least try Firefox. I suspect most people have very little reason to stay with Google products.
