Brave will continue to support manifest V2. The real threat is if Google gains traction with V3, it could kill the internet as a whole due to sheer dominance of users switching over
Google set to kill ublock in a month or so

Bet Brendan feels really fucking stupid for chosing chromium now.
Why? If they had used Firefox then they'd basically just be Firefox with an ad blocker. If they can be Chromium but allowing full uBO then it's doing something that other browsers don't do (unless Opera or Vivaldi etc support full uBO)
Could have gone for webkit like safari. Windows could really use a good one of those. Linux has epiphany
Why would he feel stupid for choosing the best Web engine?
This is why I'm glad we still have Firefox. They resisted the external pressure to switch to Chromium and we're better off for it.

All trooned out with censorship
I hate shill naggers like you.
you have a choince between the company that literally profits from all the things that you hate or FOSS foundation that posts mean things on their blog. You have to be absolutely detached chuddie to pick the former.
two more weeks, guys! google will kill adblocking! any moment now!
You'll keep posting this until they do the thing they've been saying they'll do for years. You'll have egg on your face and the people calling you out will be vindicated. Tick tock.
How would they fundamentally block ad blockers, then? Yes, they could ban them from the store, and make it a little harder for techies to install.
Look into Manifest V3. It neuters many of the things that make adblockers work. When they enforce it, you'll be stuck with the Brave built in adblocker or a "lite" version of ublock origin with much less functionality. Google is an ad company after all.
Maybe Opera or Vivaldi might support full uBO
Opera cucked itself years ago when it ditched it's own system for Chr*mium.
Chromium is good. That's why they, and Vivaldi, and Edge, and Brave, and all the companies with Electron apps, decided to use it.
Why is it so good and why can't something else be better?
In my experience Firefox is buggy. As an example, when I made a new thread on LULZ the other day in Firefox, I copied the previous thread's long OP. But Firefox for some reason put 4 spaces at the front of every line when I pasted that text into the new OP. I have no idea why. Chromium doesn't do this.
Also I've seen other bugs in the past like Firefox showing buttons incorrectly.
To be fair it must be pretty difficult for Mozilla, they're not as wealthy as Google are, and even Microsoft of course now use Chromium, so they're probably contributing to it too, I would assume.
I had the opposite experience. Firefox just works. Chromium browsers all have broken hardware acceleration on Nvidia and AMD.
>linux shit is broken and buggy
Vivaldi is the spiritual successor to Opera, but still Chromium. They have an adblock built in for mobile but it isn't as comprehensive as uBlock origin on mobile Firefox so I stick with that.
>Look into Manifest V3.
oh? that thing that nobody is force to implement since google doesn't own the internet and nobody gives a fucking shit about what those disgusting israelites want? that manifest v3 where browser devs like vivaldi, firefox etc. said:
> yeah nah m8, we're not implementing all of that fuckin israelite shit.
that manifest v3? good luck with that, corporate cum guzzling prostitute.
what does the full version do that the lite version doesn't? I've looked into lite briefly and it seems to cover my needs (it blocks ads)
>until they do the thing
DO THE NEEDFUL
mozilla
>some stupid blog posts nobody reads
google
>actually deplatforms people and uses their platform to manipulte young peoples political view
>it's okay that they're ideologically compromised because they're actually controlled opposition for Google as an antitrust shield!
just pointing out that it makes no sense to hate on firefox because it's run by trannies and then shill a chromium based browser
literally whataboutism, they're both ideologically compromised by globohomo, just like all of corporate America. That goes double for non-profits and NGOs.
Yeah but only one of them is removing support for ad blockers
Chromium is already forked by several groups who will no doubt continue to support uBlock regardless of how hard they have to fork away from mainline. Brave and possibly (a fork of) Ungoogled Chromium.
Ahem, maybe you should read the OP
Theres a third option thats not promoting castration ideology.
A Chromium based browser, is not a third option. Epiphany is a more valid third than Brave.
Who cares what engine the browser uses? Do you insist that your car uses a rotary engine to stick it to Big Otto? Chromium isn't closed, so you can build it yourself and make changes if you want. It's not like the world ended up standardizing on a closed browser like Safari. Yeah, any Chrome specific stuff might not work in alt browsers, but that's no reason to use something like Firefox, which to this day doesn't support many standards like parts of web components, or even the :has CSS selector. If the outcome of browser engine competition is that all but one of them is way behind, we should really be spending that effort on improving the winner instead. This is like how BSD developers should just admit defeat and move to Linux. The race is over.
WebKit is open source you dumb fucking nagger.
But not the Safari specific parts. That was my point. Chromium isn't the issue. The issue is web devs using proprietary extensions.
You mean chrome with built in adblock and crypto shit? I use Librewolf but I won't pretend it isn't just Firefox with a different icon
>a month or so
January 2025 is more than a year away, and you're the boy who cried wolf besides.
If Google kills off adblockers I'm going back to Furryfox. I don't care if Mozilla is run by trans folx I'm not watching ads.
same here, anon
Kinda crazy how Google is okay with throwing away all their marketshare to brave and Firefox.
Hello saar! I noticed that a lot of my firefox indian users are talking about Chrome killing uBlock by January of 2023. I noticed that January of 2023 was a year ago. Saar. What happened?
im pretty sure there is a version of ublock for manivest v3
https://support.ublock.org/hc/en-us/articles/11749958544275-Google-s-Manifest-V3-What-it-is-and-what-it-means-for-uBlock-Users-
yes, a lot of the "IT'S OVER" threads are either bait or exaggeration. But, AFAIK, ublock origin lite will never be as full featured as the manifest V2 one, unless something changes.
If regular uBO does stop working at some point then I'll try out the Lite version, then if it can't do what I want then I guess I'll look for another browser, but uBO still works for me on Chrome at the moment so yeah, it just works.
>ublock
>not ublock origin
you fucking retard
99.99% of people don't even use extensions, let alone know what a manifest is or what it does.
Talk to them about muh manifest and they think you're talking about The Communist Manifesto.
Which is why your best bet is throwing your lot in with Apple.
>true
>maybe
>false
Just use Firefox or derivative if you're too stupid to apply your own patches
Apple is THE biggest company in the world, maintains their own browser engine, and their install base is large enough to deter websites from only working on Chrome.
Like, sorry buddy, but br*ve doesn't even guarantee themselves capable of serving Version 2 indefinitely, because their sustenance is sucking Chromium's cock. And 95% of Firefox's money is from Google.
Switched to brave. Its very close to chrome, and adblocker works on it perfectly.
That being said, I don't think most normies even realize there are other browsers than chrome so google will be totally fine.
Which is why the YouTube tantrum is so stupid. Adblocking isn't the reason that Ads is losing money. Interest rates rising means that nobody is buying ads unless they absolutely need to because money is expensive. Blowing up your technical userbase won't make Bob's Plumbing pay more for ads.
>using chromium browsers
I thought you guys were supposed to be not retarded?
>believing anything brave says
Adblockers will never be completely killed. It's all just a cat and mouse game.
People said the same thing about piracy, and the Denuvo Cat reduced the mice population to a single mouse. Don't take things for granted.
The difference is that denuvo bought out all the crackers
Can you guys go back to LULZ so the adults can talk?
>muh adults
>on LULZ
Pick one
Nah.
There was only Steam DRM Cat, which was a fat slob that basically asked mice to walk into it's mouth if they would be so kind, with some occasional stray cats passing by every so often. Mice realized they can just lounge around all day, and when Denuvo Cat was brought in, it just walked around and ate all the mice who didn't even budge when their asses were chomped at.
If Denuvo came to life right after Securom and Starforce era it'd be shredded like those two were.
Lynx and Links browsers FTW. They will still find a way to show distracting ads but I will make em work for it.
Is google really killing ad blockers?
I can't believe I'm genuinely considering the switch to the shill Lion.
>Google set to kill ublock in a month or so
Two more weeks!
Dont care. I use Firefox on mobile anyways. Why do yall care about phone browsers so much?
>Brave will continue to support manifest V2
They need to, if they switch to V3 they'll lose all of the marketshare they have since there wouldn't be a single reason to use it over regular chrome.
I thought they said "muh we don't have the manpower to implement manifest v2 if Google removes it." Maybe they will take the Firefox route and add Webrequest to their manifest v3 implementation.
>if they switch to V3 they'll lose all of the marketshare they have since there wouldn't be a single reason to use it over regular chrome.
I guess the built-in adblocker (which isn't just a built-in extension) and not using a closed source browser made by a company who likes to sell your data.
Yeah sure. That's what they said last time and backed out at the last minute. Even if they do go through with it, I already know some group of autists is going to find a way to bypass whatever they're doing. If all else fails, I'll switch to Brave or FF but that's the last thing I want to do.
Retard here. What is Manifest V3 even supposed to be?
In theory it limits what extensions can do to mitigate potential malicious extensions. Basically padding the walls so retards don't hurt themselves.
but while google is doing this, they're also casually throwing in limits that effect how current ad blockers work
Is Firefox itself not adware and spyware at this point?
>install
>bunch of standard search engines, whatever
>then Qoingo! or something nobody's ever heard of
>sponsored links on the mobile homescreen
>can disable "Sponsored links" in settings
>along with all the "Send personal data to us" options
Back in the day that's something Spybot - S&D would detect. At least "also add Cool Browser Toolbar!" was an option in installers, not when you first ran the program.
Thankfully, I haven't used Chrome in a decade and I never will again, so no Google shoving ads down my throat. Bye, Google. HELLO, BRAVE!
It's funny that people think Firefox is a solution. Google will start blocking Firefox too.
>b-but muh user agent
>b-but muh anti trust
>b-but muh 1% of users
Not problems at all. They will block Firefox and you will be happy.
GPT post
Anyone else notice the decline in quality of shillposting? They are using bots instead of paying shills.
Sirs, why don't we just look at the ads? They can be tailored to our interests and be a valuable source of information.
brave shill thread
I will keep using chromium based, brave,thorium, ungoogled-chromium are good for me
firefox and mozilla are garbage
That's nice but I'm still going to keep using Pale Moon
