Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow (www.neowin.net)

For a while now the transition away from Manifest V2 (MV2) to MV3 has been on-going and it looks like it is entering its final phase of deprecation, at least, in the case of Google Chrome. A recent discussion thread in the w3c WebExtensions Community Group GitHub repo has highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions.

What this essentially means is that the tricks and bypasses that were used to keep MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin and others alive will not work any more on Chrome, or at least not for very long. For example the Windows Registry mod that could extend MV2 availability will cease to function after Chromium version 151.

When will marketing people figure out our generation views ads as hostile, non-consensual, and unwanted? They are a negative way to introduce us to your product/service. I actively avoid things with obnoxious ads. Native, old spice, liberty mutual, all of those brands the first thing that comes to mind is the negative experience of an invasive advertisement I never fucking asked for.

Except we are not customers, and it's the customers that are important. I's like cows asking between themselves when will the butcher realize that they do not like being killed for meat.

Butcher knows, but butcher doesn't sell comfort to cows, he sells meat to customers.

Who knows. I was at the beach this past weekend and there were two different planes flying ad banners in front of me.

What the fuck. That's two different local businesses that I have noted I will actively avoid.

Can't even unplug and face a clear sky without getting ads shoved in your fucking face.

It doesn't matter how we view them as long as they work.

Pretty sure all generations feel the same way.

What generation?

They're too busy milking the boomers for now (and even then, the smart ones also despise ads already)
