Google is weakening ad blockers as part of their MV3 extension standard and this will trickle down into all Chromium browsers. Built in ad blockers lack features compared to uBlock Origin as well.
LMAO welcome to Firefox, the objectively better Browser. Might also use a custom search engine or DDG while at it.
Google is not killing uBlock Origin. It’s changing how Chrome works. uBlock Origin will continue to work in my Firefox and other browsers.
Happy pfSense + pfBlockerNG user here. It even blocks ads on some of my streaming services.
Dammit, Sam. 🤦🏽♂️
I switched to Firefox about a month ago for personal use. It’s nearly impossible for me to quit using Chrome, though, due to work.
I don’t hate Firefox, but it does absolutely do some stupid shit that I don’t like.
What kind of stuff?
Who is the Lemmy user not aware of this? Show yourself!
Vivaldi (and Brave I think) are safe until July 2025.
“Safe until” = not safe
Gonna stick with Vivaldi until its last breath, love this browser
Any chromium browser is with a flag enabled.
Just switch to Firefox or a derivative already guys.
LibreWolf or mullvad browser both FF based.
Turning off auto updates on chrome was convoluted. I assume everything will break when they force this update even with auto updates off.
It’s probably going to prevent security updates too and that’s worse than ad tracking.

Huh?
Or use UBO-Lite? MV3 has some limitations but I’m tired of people acting like it ruins ad blocking when it doesn’t.
Afaik, UBO lite only updates filter lists when the extension updates, has no element zapper/picker, no per site switches, and no dynamic filtering.
If you can live without these features, then good for you. But there’s no need to get frustrated about our claims just because we need better ad-blocking and privacy functions than you.
Is safari work ?
Yes, safari is WebKit and not chromium. AdGuard seems to be safe.
Untrue. Safari never had the real version of uBlock Origin (it was always a port) and it lost many features when Apple moved to a new extensions framework (much like Google). See more: https://github.com/el1t/uBlock-Safari/issues/158
Interesting. I only got my Mac about a year ago and since then I’ve used AdGuard mainly because it’s the only good thing on iOS and I assumed uBlock Origin never was a thing for Safari.
It basically wasn’t. The original developer allowed a fork on platforms they weren’t interested in, drama ensued and eventually, the Apple thing happened anyway.
uBlock became uBlock Origin once the "origin"al developer took over the project again.
Fuck Safari
