Chrome Canary just killed uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2 extensions
(www.androidpolice.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
You say that like they didn't just remove several other adblock extensions themselves
No they didn't.
They're still there. Ublock origin is the god-tier adblock, and it's still there. It's even a Recommended by Mozilla extension.
I know people on Lemmy often, for some reason, hate Mozilla more than Google or Microsoft, but Mozilla very much still caters to people who want to block ads, despite the disinformation on Lemmy.
Except they didn't... If you read more than headlines
The one they removed isn't relevant until Firefox also removes manifest V2 which they have no plans for.
Firefox has a different manifest v3 that still retains webrequest functionality, so even when they do switch over it'll be fine.
shrugs in books
They have no idea how stubborn I am.
From what I've heard, they only "removed" uBlock Origin Lite. Normal uBO is still up.
Actually, they flagged UBO Lite and the dev removed it himself in a fit of pique.
