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.

[-] JTskulk@lemmy.world 20 points 1 hour ago

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.

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.

Vivaldi (and Brave I think) are safe until July 2025.

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 hour ago

"Safe until" = not safe

[-] warm@kbin.earth 32 points 3 hours ago

Any chromium browser is with a flag enabled.

Just switch to Firefox or a derivative already guys.

LibreWolf or mullvad browser both FF based.

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Gonna stick with Vivaldi until its last breath, love this browser

Turning off auto updates on chrome was convoluted. I assume everything will break when they force this update even with auto updates off.

[-] oce@jlai.lu 30 points 4 hours ago

It's probably going to prevent security updates too and that's worse than ad tracking.

Yes, safari is WebKit and not chromium. AdGuard seems to be safe.

[-] yoasif@fedia.io 7 points 1 hour ago

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

[-] Nikls94@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

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.

[-] yoasif@fedia.io 3 points 1 hour ago

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
