So, in short:
- Google is not killing ad blockers, but merely chopping off both legs and arms in the name of security.
- ublock Origin is implementing a lite version for chromium browsers, supposedly being pretty decent given the circumstances.
- Old Manifest V2 extensions will be disabled in June 2024 and Manifest V2 will be removed in June 2025.
- Firefox is Firefox.
- Privacy and security focused chromium based browsers will have to implement proper native ad blocking.
I am not using Firefox…
I mean I was using Firefox before this, but I also am now as well you know.
I used to use Firefox.
I still do, but I used to too.
RIP Mitch
Cool story bro. Completely irrelevant comment for this post but cool story anyway.
Here’s what happening to me: I went to Firefox.
Well, you say that, but this is what happened to me: I went to Firefox.
I, too, happened to me: Firefox.
I was using Firefox back when it was cool. And now it’ll be cool again.
I used Firefox before chrome even was a thing and never moved away. Fuck chrome.
I briefly lived in the dark side of IE6 because AOL fucked over the Netscape browser so badly. But then I came back like the prodigal son when Firefox (then Firebird) came along.
Yeah I remember IE5 and NS4, as well as the Firebird/Phoenix/Firefox naming joys back in the day.
If you want to blow your brains out, try getting XHTML 1.1 working in IE6. It is indeed possible if you modify the XHTML DTD. Interestingly it’d render shit so much better since it’d use MSXML instead of Trident as the rendering engine. Sadly it would add about 400k to the page since it needed to load a custom DTD…
You’re an even older user than me then lol. I think it was '08 or '09 when I started using the internet.
I went to Firefox when Chrome had that huge memory leak issue.
Thanks to Lemmy, I’m browsing on Firefox on Linux Arch…
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who went on a bit of an open-source mania because of all the Linux and FOSS nerds on here.
And before you did what?
Chrome on Mac
Did you install Arch on your mac?
Hm, should I try switching my old Surface Pro 3 from PopOS to Arch?
Try Hanna Montana first.
Google’s ads can lick my nads.
Interesting that article comes to the conclusion that uBlockOrigin Lite is basically as effective as the original and works on the new Manifest v3.
I’m glad you read the article, since it seems like nobody else in the comment section has!
When I went to read the comments of this post, and for some reason it took 10 sec for them to show up in my client, I thought of Google…
I am forever grateful for my father having Firefox installed on the xp hand-me-down that became my first computer
