Firefox says it will keep supporting uBlock Origin even as Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers phase it out under Manifest V3.

      If only that were true. To many people are addicted to google to ever give up chrome/chromium without a series of catastrophic fuckups from google.

        Doesn’t help that Mozilla leadership is incompetent and doesn’t know what their core audience wants

        Unfortunate how momentum like that works. I haven’t managed to degoogle myself yet but switching to firefox has created zero issues in my daily usage

        Dude, the last thing I use Google for is YouTube and the ads are so much now on my tv and when listening to stories in my car that I’m seriously considering either paying for nebula or just snorting whatever I find under the sink for amusement.

          i forget what its called… pihole? You can set up a small box on your network that can filter out ads on devices that you cant install adblocking on, like on your TV and stuff.

            does not work for youtube. for that, you need either a third party youtube app with builtbin blocking, or a patched official app that adds the blocking.

                I guess you meant the youtube website, but on a TV you won’t be able to block youtube ads in the browser either

                  I don’t use the smart TV functions, I connect a device to the TV to watch stuff on the TV. I certainly don’t use any apps to watch YouTube
