siriusmartChromium Manifest V3 Explained for a Toddler
You’re just spamming your own shitty YT channel here mate. Article or gtfo
He’s contributing a useful video, you’re contributing useless vitriol.
Here’s the video script: gmtex.siri.sh/fs/1/Shared/…/chrome-final.html
Here’s an extra 2000 word article for your enjoyment: gmtex.siri.sh/fs/1/School/Y12/…/chromium.html
Just because we're old farts that don't really appreciate video as a medium doesn't mean it's not valid for some.
I despise video… But as a technical instructor I can say you are spot on.
Everyone learns differently, we all fall into a few broad categories of learning styles. Some people need the visualization that video provides.
Overall good video, just invest in good mic also best of luck.
thanks for the advice, i will do that maybe in the future
well a bit more on that, since i record my audio an audacity, there are 3 types of noise suppression i could do
- the first one of course is no noise suppression at all
- then there is the standard noise suppression
- and then there is the new RNNoise suppression
RNNoise is the best at removing noise, but it also cuts off all the deeper parts of my voice (i think, because I have no way of knowing how I really sound like), so here its a tradeoff between getting the entirety of my voice, or absolute silence, here i chose my voice
A focused mic and quiet room beats all the noise suppression algorithms you can apply.
Very useful video. I miss that you don’t list the Chromium browsers. A lot of people, the target audience of this video don’t know that edge, opera, vivaldi, brave are all affected some way.
well, it’s a video making decision. most people these days have virtually negative attention span, and they would click off the video given the slightest chance, and listing Chromium browsers would be too much time for too little argument made.
I’ve accepted that I’m not mental outlaw and people wouldn’t be tuning in for a podcast, so the best I could do is the minesweep the video and remove any opportunities, because if I don’t do that, most people won’t get past the first 10 seconds, “getting straight to the point” is one of the things I’ve learnt while doing youtube
also, infographics are great for these explainers video, because i could jam pack so much more information that is otherwise impossible, and in 1:53 I’ve referenced “all chromium browsers” with all their logo on screen, which is insanely efficient because with this visual style of story telling I could brought up two points at the same time:
- chromium browsers are affected
- these browsers on screen are chromium browsers
AlexanderESmith... vivaldi... affected [in] some way
Yes, but also; https://vivaldi.com/blog/manifest-v3-webrequest-and-ad-blockers/
yeah but its not the same, sure you could mod your router or use a pihole to get adblocking, but it is not the same convenience as extensions, and by far ublock origin is the best adblocker no arguments raised.
moreover companies can’t really do much when they are completely reliant on chromium, and they can’t do much except pulling PR stunts and try to sound like they are doing something while all they’re doing is to merge commits from upstream chromium once in a while
one example is the “we will continue to support v2” stunt by brave, which is not possible as they have 0 experience maintaining a browser, also vivaldi is absolutely proprietary
I thought Brave wasn’t affected by this
Edit: yeah, Brave mentioned they won’t be impacted by this
V3 Manifest will it improve Brave with other joining?
With the V3 manifest looking like its going to be rolled out in the coming months will it alter what Brave is doing with regards to Ads being blocked? or will Brave be ok and can see people joining from chrome growing Brave’s market share. looked at Firefox and the user interface looks dated.Opera not even going to that one.Thank you
Brave can keep the old APIs but they’ll still be affected, because developers for Chromium-compatible browsers still have to decide whether they want to create or support apps that will only work in a subset of browsers, and figure out how to distribute them outside the Chromium store.
True. But I believe brave’s filter list at the very least, will still work.
Which probably make use of less tracker blocking techniques than specialized extensions. I mean, uBlock is able to do a lot of things, partly because of its scriptlets that lists can invoke for certain sites.
Both uBlock Origin and Brave would be nothing without the maintainers of the filters they use.
Except uBlock’s devs are transparent and supportive of the list maintainers, while Brave (AFAIK) really isn’t.
Yeah, this kinda sucks. Well, this is what I get for recommending Brave to people I know. I feared that Firefox would be too great a leap.
ZerushAlso not Vivaldi, gutting out Google since 9 Years.

It’s also open to install any userscript directly, without the need of Tamper- or other monkey, if needed. The only problem for other Chromium are the by Google gutted extensions in the Chrome Store
Brave has it’s own issues. Like their owner being a total POS for example.
I already switched to Firefox a while back. The new tracking system bullshit was the last straw. Chrome team is too busy trying to invasively track us rather then actually improving the browser for consumers.
I never go anywhere near Chrome if I can possibly help it. Manifest v3 nonsense just reaffirms that position.
Left for Firefox when they announced this update. I still have to use Chrome when I work in Google drive since basic functions like copy/paste don’t work in non-chrome browsers, but even without this update the minute+ time it takes for chrome to open reminds me I made the right decision.
Same. It was definitely an adjustment as a former ChromeOS user. There were some minor issues like getting playback for streaming services and maybe 1-2% of the unique websites I visit not being built properly for Firefox but it’s pretty infrequent and you develop a quick workflow to resolve the issues. I have a backup version of Chromium that I use as an emergency browser.
I use a Firefox fork (Floorp) which gives me PWAs capabilities which was the last hurdle for me.
Plugins With Attitude?
I keep Cromite (on Android) and Chromium (pc) around for those sites that are so poorly coded I have to use a chrome-engined browser.
It’s really annoying.
Cromite is available on PC (Linux and Windows) and Ungoogled Chromium is chromium without any google (drop in replacement)
Will the manifest v3 also bork ungoogled chromium?
The future of content filtering (declarativeNetRequest, Manifest v3, and beyond) · Issue #662 · ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
This is both an FYI and some follow-on questions. The FYI -- For those who haven't yet heard, Google is planning a severe reduction in extension capability for blockers and other content filters. T...
AatubeI like the artstyle, but the Mv3 blocking API has actually been improved to the point where uBO Lite, the Mv3 version of uBlockOrigin, can block YouTube ads and only fails in edge cases.
I was under the impression the uBO lite wasn’t nearly as good and it missed a lot of ads, it seems like things have changed a bit since I’ve last followed on the MV3 situation.
Also about Safari extension support, I didn’t research anything on this topic, I just thought it’s extension support must be incompetent because the uBlock Origin installation for Safari seemed like a hassle, turns out im not that far off.
it seems like things have changed a bit since I’ve last followed on the MV3 situation.
The keyword is “a bit”
just realised something, if my understanding is correct, MV3 also banned remotely hosted content, with a publish delay up to 2 weeks google (specifically youtube) can easily break uBO lite if they want to, i dont know if that is how uBO lite works, or if the rules will only be enforced after June, but if it is true uBO lite is not gonna live long either
it’s not the only propose of uBO to block YouTube ads. It’s purpose is to block ads on as many sites as possible without breaking them, and also to block tracking in the same way. That needs a versatile and nouanced blocking list, with more of specific things to block instead of less of rather general things, and that sadly won’t fit in to that small limit.
But there’s more. A lot of uBO’s capabilities depend on being able to act on the requests as happening. Content replacement, response spoofing, a lot of things. Look up uBO’s scriptlets and how are they used, is in the repo’s wiki. That won’t be possible with uBO Lite. It’s called Lite for a reason, and gorhill was (and is) furious for a reason.
Remember, ad blocking is not just hiding them.
I agree that it is awful to remove the API for reasons you've mentioned, but my point was that it's a misconception that Mv3 broke and limped all adblocking. Currently the list is big enough that only edge case trackers aren't blocked.
The MenemenI am on Firefox since I think 2003. Never understood why anyone would use a non-free browser, even if it sometimes works faster. People are weird.
RubberElectronsSame here, even my newly issued work PC always gets the Firefox treatment. Annoyingly, some sites that I need for work (almost, but not quite, zero) just do not work with Firefox, but do with chrome.
At my work PC they blocked all, but chrome… And I really don’t think Chrome is superior to Firefox at this poibt of time.>
They sort of tried at my last job… There’s portable, non admin installs of Firefox available. The tricky part was ssl inspection certificates, but even that is easier than it used to be.
mostly same here, with occasionally trying out some chromium based browsers, never understood why Firefox is referred to as an “alternative” by so many people, chrome is the alternative
Because firefox is used by less than 5% of internet users.
It’s still years newer than firefox
Sorry but I don’t see why that matters in this question
Chrome had a bigger ad budget and had a good amount of hype when it was released, since Google was still well-regarded when it was released.
Firefox also had a period where it was slow AF. I switched to chrome at that point which was a lot faster.
I’ve ( happily ) been on Firefox these past few years though. Firefox addons on mobile devices is a blessing too.
I enjoyed vivaldi as well before I went back to Firefox. Too bad it’s chromium based :(.
AussiemandeusWould you consider Firefox better then duck duck go ?
Here is a breakdown of why it is much better (near to the bottom): divestos.org/pages/browsers
I am one of those “Opera back in thr day” guys so you know the story. I eventually gotten back to use Mozilla Firefox. Chrome had it’s good days but it’s a pionner of the enshitification.
ex-GX user here. i do not miss chrome.
you and my dad both. he’s been using it forever
I liked it, the other comments already suggested some things about your mic so I’ll just ask for subtitles as a non-native speaker, specially because that allows you to add details if needed.
i did it, turns out all i need to do was to paste in the full script and it will do the timings automatically, sweet.
Use. Firefox. Now!
I’m gonna be cocky and sit on my high horse to say I switched back to Firefox many years ago when they got rid of the memory leaks
Yeah Firefox definitely had issues but right now I think it’s the best browser available.
I switched off of Firefox because of those memory leaks. I remeber when it hit the tech news circles when the community contributer that was frustrated with them went in and fixed two of the biggest culprits.
Then I just didn’t bother til somewhat recently. For the most part, it’s great and does what ilI want/need. Biggest complaint is that some UX overhauls are needed for Mobile FX, especially around tab management.
yeah, on android it’s kind of a pain. but being able to use extensions is insanely good.
Firefox - Accidentally introduces memory leaks. People flee in droves.
Chrome - Intentionally introduces privacy leaks. People go “eh” end keep using it.
Gotta protect that memory!
