Google is weakening ad blockers as part of their MV3 extension standard and this will trickle down into all Chromium browsers. Built in ad blockers lack features compared to uBlock Origin as well.
Dammit, Sam. 🤦🏽♂️
Who is the Lemmy user not aware of this? Show yourself!
Vivaldi (and Brave I think) are safe until July 2025.
Any chromium browser is with a flag enabled.
Just switch to Firefox or a derivative already guys.
LibreWolf or mullvad browser both FF based.
Turning off auto updates on chrome was convoluted. I assume everything will break when they force this update even with auto updates off.
It’s probably going to prevent security updates too and that’s worse than ad tracking.
Or use UBO-Lite? MV3 has some limitations but I’m tired of people acting like it ruins ad blocking when it doesn’t.
Afaik, UBO lite only updates filter lists when the extension updates, has no element zapper/picker, no per site switches, and no dynamic filtering.
If you can live without these features, then good for you. But there’s no need to get frustrated about our claims just because we need better ad-blocking and privacy functions than you.
Is safari work ?
Fuck Safari
