Whats the status of uBlock origin and Vivaldi with the V3 manifest?

Is Vivaldis built-in adblocker on pair with uBlock origin?

@Vivaldi

Wer zusätzlich zu #ublock origin noch andere Adblocker im Browser benutzt, wird von Youtube geblockt.
Auf X klärt R.Hill auf .
Doppelt hält doch nicht besser . Gnihhihhi !

*Unpins Chrome from toolbar.

That's for getting rid of uBlock Origin you silicon valley fuckos, I'm with Vivaldi now!

For those of you using recently releases of Google Chrome then uBlock continues to be available as uBlock Origin Lite for your content blocking and security enhancing needs

PSA
I found out you can use #uBlock Origin to remove "#Shorts" videos from #Youtube

Finally.

You might have noticed Google has already scrapped unsupported extensions from its Web Store, including uBlock Origin. Despite it being scrapped, you can still keep using it by re-enabling it. Here's how.

Je cherche à bloquer le "explore" de Mastodon parce que j’ai tendance à aller y voir des trucs que je n’ai pas envie de voir.

Vous avez une idée de règle #ublock pour bloquer juste cette partie de mastodon ? (sur mon instance).

Hat Google Dir vorgegaukelt, Du könntest uBlock Origin nicht mehr verwenden? Stimmt nicht, mit dem kleinen Schieberegler unten rechts kannst Du diesen Super-Alles-Blocker wieder einschalten. #Google #Chrome #Browser #Adblocker #Trackingblocker #uBlock #GoogleChrome #uBlockOrigin

Perfect timing... Google's disabling uBlock Origin, Mozilla is imploding Firefox... The tin-foil hat side of me says this was premeditated. https://www.theverge.com/news/622953/google-chrome-extensions-ublock-origin-disabled-manifest-v3

Once #uBlock Origin stops working on #Chrome, you have 2 options. Despite the vast popularity of this ad-blocking extension, #Google doesn't want it around. But there is a silver lining.

So, mich hat es jetzt auch erwischt, die #Chrome Erweiterung #uBlock Origin wurde beim Start des Browsers deaktiviert. Webseiten wie z.B. linkedin.com sind damit auf einen Schlag nicht mehr zu gebrauchen.

Ich teste jetzt parallel #Librewolf und auf Hinweis von Tobias auch #Brave als Standardbrowser. Dokumentiere meine Erfahrungen auf CONNECT und werde Ende März eine Entscheidung treffen: https://community.cogneon.de/t/houston-wir-haben-ein-browser-problem/4172/6

If Brave continues to support manifest v2 and thus #uBlock Origin

* but extensions are installed from the #Chrome Web Store

* on which v2 extension authors presumably can no longer push updates

where would one even continue to get uBlock Origin from that would auto update without sideloading the extension from source?

Top contenders for my personal browing are #Kagi's #Orion, and #Brave. Orion has support for installing Firefox and/or Chrome extensions.

@cR0w @scottwilson @mttaggart @da_667 @Gabrielle @Sempf @winterknight1337 #librewolf based on Firefox...

I just use #firefox with #uBlockOrigin Love #ublock !!!

but #mozilla should take firefox more seriusly! If nothing helps for them, why don't they try the #thunderbird option: #donatepopup

Mozilla Firefox is officially dead.

My back is officially turned.

What options remain?

For now I'm probably going to be using Gnome Web (i.e. Epiphany) for most straightforward web browsing. It works more than well enough for the stuff I do. Mobile version for Android? Does it exist? iOS?

I'll use Vivaldi for lame "modern" sites that a "simple" browser like Epiphany can't render properly. Mobile?

We'll see how far that goes. This may be less and less of an issue. The big player sites like Google, Meta, etc. are not somewhere I tend to visit.

Banking sites are a mixed bag of necessity.

I'm about to let my Amazon Prime account lapse on its yearly renewal since I won't use them any more.

At least Vivaldi seems to be a decent organization. Technology is based on Chromium though - and this is why I haven't started using it.

I will need to investigate Vivaldi's built-in adblocking since manifest v2 isn't a thing under Chromium.

I used to care about keeping the Mozilla rendering engine alive and relevant but now not so much.

The Firefox forks I've tried have been a mixed bag of whether their new versions follow re-enabling the privacy invasive things that Mozilla upstream does when it sends out a new version.

Time to leave them behind as well I guess.

A lot will depend on how much I miss ublock origin.

If there is a mass exodus from all the Firefox based forks then ublock may cease to exist.

There's a rant in there about pi-holing all browsers but I don't have it in me ATM.

#Google (#Chrome) ha iniziato a disattivare gradualmente #uBlock Origin, e le altre estensioni basate su Manifest V2, all'interno di Chrome, una mossa che sta suscitando parecchie polemiche tra gli utenti. La decisione fa parte della transizione verso Manifest V3, la nuova specifica per le estensioni, che limita significativamente le funzionalità degli ad blocker e degli strumenti per la privacy.

uBlock Origin is dead on Chrome, along with any other Manifest v2 extensions (it still runs fine on Firefox). Here are four alternative adblockers that have already been upgraded to the new Manifest v3 standard.
