nixCraft 🐧Google confirms they will disable uBlock Origin in Chrome in 2024 🤡
ObsolescentSapien@nixCraft Why is anyone still using this shit browser and why was anyone ever using it when there are better options available? Firefox, Brave, Mullvad, DuckDuckGo, Vivaldi, LibreWolf, etc. There is no reason strong enough to overcome the fact that Google is a surveillance company. Stop being such lazy shitheads already.
Duco@obsolescentsapien @nixCraft they will most likely remove it from Chromium, too, which will result in other chromium based browsers, like Brave, Vivaldi, Edge,… loosing that as well. Aren't they using the same plugin repo, too? I think Firefox and LibreWolf are the real alternatives here.
Brian May 🐧@duco @obsolescentsapien @nixCraft I might be wrong, but it sounds like they are removing it from the browser, not the repo. If they change chromium, the change can always be reverted because it is open source. If they change the repo, they can always change the chromium to use another source for the plug-in.
Ceremus@penguin_brian @duco @obsolescentsapien @nixCraft The problem with that is making a fork of a project as huge as a browser isn't realistic for small independent teams in the long term, at least not when you're making drastic changes that conflict with downstream updates. Google is still the majority code contributor to Chromium, a small team can't just take over the whole project, nor can they fight with Google's downstream updates indefinitely.
