Chrome Canary just killed uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2 extensions : technology

tldr: Chrome Canary is the beta (lol) channel for Chrome. Google has been working on a trans(lol)ition toManifest v3 for a while, effectivly killing off many ad blockers or knee capping them severaly (like in IOS and Safari on MacOS). Well they flag to keep v2 (uBlock) enable has been taken away because papa Google knows best.

The removal of a custom settings flag previously used to enable deprecated Manifest V2 extensions (like most popular ad blockers) has begun turning out the lights on the user-friendly Chrome party

When the option to enable v2 gets removed from the normie channel is anyone's guess butt the c*m is on the wall at this point. uBlock has a lite version which isn't as good. I can tell you from exp using Safari on desktop that that kind of adblocker just sucks all around.

Also FurryFox is doing something similar so lmao :marseylaughpoundfist:

I would argue that if you want to be free from advertising, perhaps using a web browser created and distributed by the world's biggest advertising company Is not the wisest strategy.

Safari has a built in element remover and there two main free functional adblockers on the appstore. Ghosterly and adguard. Using Ghosterly I see no yt ads or other ads :marseyshrug: !applechads ppl just see no ublock and assume there is no option.

ghosterly open sourced when they removed all ad tracking years ago. If there was posed ad tracking it would be visible now on their GitHub
