Old Manifest V2 Chrome extensions will be disabled in 2024 - Lemmy Today

Do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior Mozilla Firefox?
Nope. 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).
You can continue to cope or you can upgrade to a real browser.
I already upgraded to Brave years ago. Thanks. And fuck Mozilla.
Brave isn’t any better of an option with all the controversies they’ve had.

If anything, they’re worse.

  • Brave is an advertising company, that blocks everyone, but them. Forcing over people and companies into their system.
  • They’re heavily in the blockchain ecosystem, with their own worthless crypto.
  • They take from open source projects (uBlock, Chromium, etc), but threaten legal action when someone forks them.
  • They install bloat/spyware on your Windows system (later claimed it was a mistake).
  • Brave, and its CEO is right-wing, lobbying against things like same-sex marriage.
  • I could go on.

  • Brave is an advertising company, that blocks everyone, but them.

  • So like very other ad company.

    Forcing over people and companies into their system.

  • The crypto stuff is opt-in.
  • [citation needed] I’m talking about the legal action stuff. Fun fact, Gab made a Brave fork called Dissenter. Nothing happened to them.
  • Yeah, Brave VPN is BS.
  • About Brendan Eich, I can’t see nothing about his beliefs reflecting in his work. Looks like he kept them separated. Also he’s a co-founder of Mozilla. So if you’re not going to use Brave because of him. How can you use Firefox? About Brave lobbying against things like same-sex marriage. Will, [citation needed].
  • If you need Chromium browser. Just use ungoogled-chromium, Windows version.
