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.

Still? It has like 95% of market share.

"Only" 70%, though of course the point stands.

That could also be incorrect, my ff pretends to be chrome running on windows, to minimize digital footprint.

You over estimate the average person's intelligence 😉

it's less about intelligence and more about just not caring and being numb to ads

The amount of people I see use spotify and youtube with ads and just don't feel or see anything wrong with this really disturbs me. People don't realise the psychic damage they inflict upon themselves, they don't see the issue.

When these PC illiterates open their browser it always looks like a casino, it's crazy 🤣

I always ask them "what is this, do you want to see ads for underwear, why don't you have ublock?" It's always something like "doesn't bother blebe"🙄

I only used Electron or CEF apps usually.
