dvdnet89Old Manifest V2 Chrome extensions will be disabled in 2024
HolzkohlenDo you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior Mozilla Firefox?
EngywookNope. Many Chromium forks already have very good inbuilt adblockers , which won’t be affected by the MV3 stuff. On top of that, one could also use system-wide blockers suck as AdGuard and DNS-level blockers (which is not even a bad idea if you’re on Windows anyway).
body_by_makeYou can continue to cope or you can upgrade to a real browser.
I already upgraded to Brave years ago. Thanks. And fuck Mozilla.
wagesj45You mean Chromium Brave Edition?
Why you got beef with Mozi? They chill
Yeah, no. Too much disregard for the community and useless political crap, apart from hypocrisy on their fake anti-Google stance.
pOliTiCaL
Would you care to explain to the class?
SatyrSackThey donate a lot to political campaigns that have nothing to do with technology or anything relevant
Lunduke 🤡
pewgar_seemsimandroidfrom you’re latest reply i can see you think : security shouldn’t exist™
I’d help you with trademarking that
nevernevermorethat article reads like if my 8 year old nephew read thru my tax return. But no matter how mozilla spend their money, Google are spending money their money on much more questionable and unethical things.
useless political crap
Meanwhile: Uses Brave
Such an ignorant and bad faith statement I won’t even bother to reply.
Brave is wrapped up in so much controversy it feels like you’re trolling that you called it a real browser. You’re trolling, right? Have fun with your brave sponsored ads and crypto bullshit.
Lol, as if Mozilla weren’t keep alive by Google’s money (which mainly come from ads, as well). Pathetic and laughable at once.
Use what you prefer and stop bothering me.
You jumped into this conversation, friend. Google does keep Mozilla alive, but it wouldn’t have to if it weren’t a monopoly. Since it does monopolize the market, it has to keep Mozilla alive or face monopoly busting action. However, unlike you, my browser isn’t directly controlled by Google’s every whim.
You’re being highly self delusional. But whatever. Enjoy FF, until it lasts.
Yet you did.
pimento64^ This statement is an outright admission that they’re right.
killeronthecornerThey said in their reply.
Are you for real? Everything you said reads like a tech bro caricature
Yawn…
Tired of your own bullshit? It happens, I guess
says won’t bother to reply
replies anyway
Brave isn’t any better of an option with all the controversies they’ve had.
If anything, they’re worse.
I could go on.
Don’t forget the worst most condescending people working for Brave. I actually had one of their people antagonize me on social media years ago for not liking their invasive homepage at the time.
Ahri BoyAnd also don’t forget Gab forked out Brave to create Dissenter.
Hal-5700XBrave is an advertising company, that blocks everyone, but them.
So like very other ad company.
Forcing over people and companies into their system.

If you need Chromium browser. Just use ungoogled-chromium, Windows version.
Yeah surel, I’ll use the inadequate browser but fox the problems with system wide ad blockers, instead of just using a browser, that doesn’t steal my data and let’s me install addons that I want. Google is way out of bounds here imho.
Use whatever suits you. I’m just saying that people already using browsers with a built-in AdBlock aren’t going to switch, because they won’t even notice the MV3 stuff.
Aren’t all those ad blockers and distribution platforms too? Heard about ABP that sell ad space for example.
IIRC, ABP used to whiteliste some “acceptable” ads (non invasive, etc…). Frankly, it’s been literally ages since I have used it, so I don’t know how they behave right now.
Right, thanks for the clarification.
For how long?
As long as these browsers themselves exist. Inbuilt adblockers aren’t extension, are integral parts of the browsers, and don’t need to follow extensions’ rules.
System wide ad blockers can’t block a lot of ads, namely same-domain ads or those that are built into the html. Much rarer than the external page kind (DNS ones) thankfully.
AFAIK, AdGuard can block same domain ads. I’m not talking about AdGuard DNS, I’m talking about AdGuard app/program.
jherazobNamely, Youtube ads
As far as I know most inbuilt adblockers, don’t work very well. Especially with yt. Everytime yt does something, you would probably have to wait for new version of your browser, and even then it is questionable if it would work. With ublock origin you just click on one button and you are good to go.
If somebody doesn’t know, I’m talking about refreshing your filters.
I’m yet to see any ad since I’ve started using Brave. Din know about YouTube, I don’t use it.
bdonvrWhy would you want to use some Google-coded, bigoted-ceo, crypto-pushing, link hijacking POS like Brave?
Because it’s simply a better browser.
ZeroHoraBrave adblock is just a fork of uBlock with a whitelist for Brave’s partners.
It works. Enough for me not to bother with anything else.
Okey dokey mate
That’s fine but you should understand that you shouldn’t endorse an inferior product just because you don’t need anything better
Inferior? Lol. Just looking at the retard UI of Firefox is enough for me (p.s., I’ve been a FF user for almost 20 year, since it still was Phoenix).
Why not just change the UI then?
How do you figure it’s u-block?
- I won’t bother thinkering with CSS which break with updates
- Users shouldn’t be in charge to fix Mozilla’s fuckups. That’s how you loose 70M users since 2019
- The only semi-valid reason people often give to use FF is uBlock Origin. I wonder how many of these FF loyal users would still stay on FF, should uBlock Origin disappear. Would you? At this point, it looks like FF is just an extension for uBO, rather than the opposite.
- Last butor a lot of reason, I’ve grown increasingly pissed off with Mozilla, so I simply refuse to give then more underserved market share (after being a user/supporter/advocate for almost 20 years).
If you wouldn’t care to fix an issue then why complain
Ublock origin is on every browser, who do you think is only on Firefox because of it?
- I don’t complain. I just use a different browser
- What I mean is that FF is the only major browser which doesn’t have an inbuilt adblocker and FF “fans” often brag about uBO working “best” on FF (because of the CNAME support), when there’s at least another browser with and in-built adblocker which supports CNAME uncloacking. Without uBO FF usefulness would be exactly 0.
Man’s 3 poignant inquiries away from peddling Brave. Tread carefully folks.
Lmao you were right
Bravecels are all the same, maybe they get two extra shitcoins every time they shill for it.
They even admit that their attention is basic
LOl @downvotes from delusional and desperate Mozilla’s shills
