Reminder to switch browsers if you haven't already!

  • Google Chrome is starting to phase out older, more capable ad blocking extensions in favor of the more limited Manifest V3 system.
  • The Manifest V3 system has been criticized by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation for restricting the capabilities of web extensions.
  • Google has made concessions to Manifest V3, but limitations on content filtering remain a source of skepticism and concern.

How long until the majority of the Internet is inaccessible to non-Chromium browsers because the pages "don't support them"?

They do some now, but user agent switcher gets me to all of those with no problem.

It is not that simple. These are cat and mouse games. Whack a mole. Whatever you'd like to say.

If I can't access a site with firefox, i won't deal with online. I'll call them and waste an employee's time, or send payment in the mail. I'm not using chrome or an app and i don't care.
