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).
CosstyAs 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.
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.
