Seems it's time. Are there any #chromium or #chrome derivatives which will still support #ublock origin, or do I really need to start migrating to #firefox?

LinkedIn can be a bit too much. I come there with a goal in mind but get distracted by the feed posts.

Luckily, the web platform is amazingly hackable, and I can hide the feed with one single filter in uBlock Origin.

Chromium-based browser users:

If you want a uBlock Origin alternative, look at AdGuard.

Interesting! #uBlock Origin will prevent #YouTube from seeing I'm using an Ad Blocker (uBlock itself) on #Firefox but NOT on #Vivaldi.

So If I'm logged into #Google via Vivaldi, I'm blocked on #YouTube from watching anything since I use the evil uBlock Origin.

If I'm not logged into Google, then Vivaldi is ad-free with uBlock

But if I'm logged in on Google/YouTube via Firefox with uBlock, no issues and no ads.

#Chromium
#Chrome
#uBlockOrigin

1/2

Is there a licensing issue around shipping a firefox fork with ublock origin installed by default?

As themselves state "#uBlock Origin is a #browser extension that blocks unwanted content, such as #ads, #trackers, and #malicious URLs. It is easy on CPU and memory".

On #Google Messages tab, it blocks 11% of such content. On #Facebook Messanger, 6%. On #Instagram 5%.

On #Mastodon, #Element, #PixelFed none. 0.

That, should tell you something.

Whats the status of uBlock origin and Vivaldi with the V3 manifest?

Is Vivaldis built-in adblocker on pair with uBlock origin?

@Vivaldi

*Unpins Chrome from toolbar.

That's for getting rid of uBlock Origin you silicon valley fuckos, I'm with Vivaldi now!

For those of you using recently releases of Google Chrome then uBlock continues to be available as uBlock Origin Lite for your content blocking and security enhancing needs

Je cherche à bloquer le "explore" de Mastodon parce que j’ai tendance à aller y voir des trucs que je n’ai pas envie de voir.

Vous avez une idée de règle #ublock pour bloquer juste cette partie de mastodon ? (sur mon instance).

Perfect timing... Google's disabling uBlock Origin, Mozilla is imploding Firefox... The tin-foil hat side of me says this was premeditated. https://www.theverge.com/news/622953/google-chrome-extensions-ublock-origin-disabled-manifest-v3

#ublock #chrome #google De oplossing is simpel #DeGoogle mensen. Beter voor je #privacy en het maakt het op ad’s gedreven verdienmodel weer wat minder waard. #firefox #librewolf hoe zit het met forks #vivaldi en #opera onderstenen die nog wel of ook niet meer.

Chrome-gebruikers klagen bij uBlock Origin-ontwikkelaar over einde support https://www.security.nl/posting/878694/Chrome-#gebruikers+klagen+bij+uBlock+Origin-ontwikkelaar+over+einde+support?channel=rss

So, mich hat es jetzt auch erwischt, die #Chrome Erweiterung #uBlock Origin wurde beim Start des Browsers deaktiviert. Webseiten wie z.B. linkedin.com sind damit auf einen Schlag nicht mehr zu gebrauchen.

Ich teste jetzt parallel #Librewolf und auf Hinweis von Tobias auch #Brave als Standardbrowser. Dokumentiere meine Erfahrungen auf CONNECT und werde Ende März eine Entscheidung treffen: https://community.cogneon.de/t/houston-wir-haben-ein-browser-problem/4172/6

If Brave continues to support manifest v2 and thus #uBlock Origin

* but extensions are installed from the #Chrome Web Store

* on which v2 extension authors presumably can no longer push updates

where would one even continue to get uBlock Origin from that would auto update without sideloading the extension from source?

Top contenders for my personal browing are #Kagi's #Orion, and #Brave. Orion has support for installing Firefox and/or Chrome extensions.

Mozilla Firefox is officially dead.

My back is officially turned.

What options remain?

For now I'm probably going to be using Gnome Web (i.e. Epiphany) for most straightforward web browsing. It works more than well enough for the stuff I do. Mobile version for Android? Does it exist? iOS?

I'll use Vivaldi for lame "modern" sites that a "simple" browser like Epiphany can't render properly. Mobile?

We'll see how far that goes. This may be less and less of an issue. The big player sites like Google, Meta, etc. are not somewhere I tend to visit.

Banking sites are a mixed bag of necessity.

I'm about to let my Amazon Prime account lapse on its yearly renewal since I won't use them any more.

At least Vivaldi seems to be a decent organization. Technology is based on Chromium though - and this is why I haven't started using it.

I will need to investigate Vivaldi's built-in adblocking since manifest v2 isn't a thing under Chromium.

I used to care about keeping the Mozilla rendering engine alive and relevant but now not so much.

The Firefox forks I've tried have been a mixed bag of whether their new versions follow re-enabling the privacy invasive things that Mozilla upstream does when it sends out a new version.

Time to leave them behind as well I guess.

A lot will depend on how much I miss ublock origin.

If there is a mass exodus from all the Firefox based forks then ublock may cease to exist.

There's a rant in there about pi-holing all browsers but I don't have it in me ATM.

#Google (#Chrome) ha iniziato a disattivare gradualmente #uBlock Origin, e le altre estensioni basate su Manifest V2, all'interno di Chrome, una mossa che sta suscitando parecchie polemiche tra gli utenti. La decisione fa parte della transizione verso Manifest V3, la nuova specifica per le estensioni, che limita significativamente le funzionalità degli ad blocker e degli strumenti per la privacy.
