Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout

www.bleepingcomputer.com Just a moment...

Google continues its rollout of gradually disabling uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in the Chrome web browser as part of its efforts to push users to Manifest V3-based extensions.

That's why I switched to Firefox months ago.
- Exactly. I switched at the first sniff of this. I do take some shit when people use my PC, but trust me, Chrome is gone for a reason.
- The spyware in a browser shaped trenchcoat didn’t do it for you?
- Firefox sucks
  
  It is the best we have
  
  It actually works well for me and I love having it on my phone since ad block works there... that was a life changing addition.
  
  What problem(s) are you running into that makes you say it sucks?
  
  how long have you been using it? At first it was the worst browser I had used because everything was slightly different and I couldn't find settings, however over time my brain did a 180° and now chromium is really weird to me (I'm one of those people who hate UI change)
  
  Unless you're talking about compatibility and in which case, yeah that's fair.
That's ok, Google Chrome was disabled from my PC a long time ago lol.
Who uses Google chrome?
- 70% of the internet
  
  So no one on Lemmy
  
  Aww I'm a 30%er and didn't even know it
- Unfortunately, the vast majority of internet users. And Google is banking on people not caring enough so they can push their vision of the internet, an ad-ridden, data stealing nightmare.
  
  It is already that. It cannot possibly get any worse.
All in all, it's just another brick in the wall...
