You’re about to have a rough few months, methinks.
Comment on Firefox has an ambitious new roadmap, the browser is also losing millions of users a month
KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 21 hours agoI actually ended up switching from Firefox to Chromium, Chromium overall is just faster and nicer to use (also a bit more secure I think, if it matters)
Ublock origin and mv3 aren’t as much of an issue as I assumed at first, ubo lite works fine

The deprecation of Manifest V2 is almost guaranteed to kick off a glut of advertisement systems that exploit the intentional weaknesses of V3. Outside of building a uBlock Origin compatible filter system into the browser, which is what Brave did (and Mozilla copied into Firefox recently), there’s not really a way to get around this.

If chromium ever gets too shitty to use there’s about a billion other chromium based browsers like Helium that will fix the issues so

You know that V2 is just now on its way out? wait until Alphabet decides that they have waited long enough to deliver the death blow to ublock lite, which can’t update blocklists without a lengthy, weeks-long alphabet-controlled update process.

There are chromium based browsers that integrate the mv2 version of unlock origin if I ever need it

You’re not wrong unfortunately. Being an ethical alternative doesn’t make something automatically better, and if it does, Firefox ethics has been eroding in front of the eyes of anyone who dares to look since roughly 2017 (when they partnered with Facebook to start pushing in telemetry)
