@whatdidmarksay persobally, I can't stand #Chromium-derivatives even less as I depend on #ManifestV2 addons for work and personal use!

Chrome : une étude prouve que les adblockers sont plus forts que jamais, malgré le Manifest V3

Pendant des années, Google nous a vendu Manifest V3 comme une mise à niveau technique nécessaire… au prix de bloqueurs de publicités moins performants. Une étude académique vient de lui clouer le bec : les adblockers n'ont rien perdu de leur mordant.

#Adblocking is alive and well, despite #Chrome's attempts to make it harder
#Google Chrome's latest revision of its browser extension architecture, known as #ManifestV3 (MV3), was widely expected to make content blocking and #privacy extensions less effective than its predecessor, #ManifestV2 (MV2).
"Our results reveal no statistically significant reduction in ad-blocking or anti-tracking effectiveness for MV3 #adblockers compared to their MV2 counterparts"

Chrome Manifest V3 khiến tiện ích “Ears: Bass Boost, EQ Any Audio” bị gỡ bỏ. Tác giả đã tự tái xây dựng lại dưới MV3, mang lại bộ EQ âm thanh thời gian thực cho từng tab, giao diện kéo‑thả tần số và visualizer phổ trực quan. Mong nhận phản hồi từ người dùng cũ và cộng đồng xử lý âm thanh. #Chrome #ManifestV3 #AudioEQ #Extension #Tech #CôngNghệ #ÂmThanh

Ladybird is a browser project in pre-alpha development that uses a brand new rendering engine not the chromium engine or firefox engine

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladybird_(web_browser)

I think this will be interesting to you if you saw that firefox is adding AI features into firefox and threatened to remove manifest v2 in order to bring in more revenue (something that chrome removed which disabled a lot of ad blockers) [1]

Librewolf also exists and I've heard from several people its a very good replacement for firefox but it still relies on mozilla existing to maintain the costly web engine

edit: looks like the head dev of ladybird touts white replacement and had a tantrum about someone replacing the word "he" with gender neutral pronouns somewhere in the project [2]

pick your poison maybe we should just simplify web standards to perhaps make them easy to maintain again, maybe we should revert to a much older version of html, maybe Gemini (the protocol not the large lying machine) is the answer [3] lets make website crafting fun again

We talk a lot about "privacy based browsers," but we need more talk about Engine Diversity.

Using a chromium-based browser even a de-Googled one like ungoogled chromium or Vivaldi still cements Google's control over web standards.

If Firefox (gecko) dies, the web effectively becomes a proprietary app platform owned by an ad company.
I stick with Firefox not because it's always faster (it isn't), but because it's the only vote I have left against a monoculture.

Are you riding the gecko train for ideological reasons or has it actually become the better daily driver for you?
