Interesting! #uBlock Origin will prevent #YouTube from seeing I'm using an Ad Blocker (uBlock itself) on #Firefox but NOT on #Vivaldi.

So If I'm logged into #Google via Vivaldi, I'm blocked on #YouTube from watching anything since I use the evil uBlock Origin.

If I'm not logged into Google, then Vivaldi is ad-free with uBlock

But if I'm logged in on Google/YouTube via Firefox with uBlock, no issues and no ads.

#Chromium
#Chrome
#uBlockOrigin

1/2

As themselves state "#uBlock Origin is a #browser extension that blocks unwanted content, such as #ads, #trackers, and #malicious URLs. It is easy on CPU and memory".

On #Google Messages tab, it blocks 11% of such content. On#Facebook Messanger, 6%. On #Instagram 5%.

On #Mastodon, #Element, #PixelFed none. 0.

That, should tell you something.

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

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

@Vivaldi

*Unpins Chrome from toolbar.

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

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

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.

#uBlockOrigin dead for many as #Google purges #ManifestV2 extensions
#Chrome #adblocker stopped working? Time to look elsewhere
#uBlock recommends a move to #Firefox and use of the extension uBlock Origin, a switch to a browser that will support Manifest v2, or downloading a different extension – #uBlockOriginLite, for example.

Do you still trust an #ad company to block ads or not datamine you?

«Beh, però mettere #uBlock è anche scorretto verso chi lavora con #YouTube... alla fine che vuoi che sia un po' di pubblicità?»

Un po' di pubblicità:

#Google #Chrome disables #uBlock Origin for some in #ManifestV3 rollout
For those unaware, Manifest V3 is Chrome's latest extension specification and is designed to limit extension access to user network requests, block developers from utilizing remote content, and improve overall performance.
If you're affected by Google's #ManifestV2 deprecation, you can switch to Manifest V3-supported extensions, such as the #uBlockOriginLite, which #uBlockOrigin developer has created.

L'ami @Jolivier m'indique qu'une liste de blocage des #médias #Bolloré existe et est ajoutable à #uBlock Origin

why ad blockers are effective? that's why

I want a universal plugin to automatically change googles bootlicking back To The Gulf of Mexico, or Gulf of Ethics, or Latin Mediterranean .

For those that use their sites.

Thanks

Add it to UBlock

Does anybody know how to get rid of this in my browser? I use LibreWolf but uBlock origin does not block it. Thanks! #LibreWolf #uBlock

No sé si verá bien en la imagen, pero #ublock origin bloquea muchos más scripts en la página de #BlueSky que en la de #Xitter, lo que no despierta precisamente mucha confianza.
