Wait, it's not supposed to do that.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well that's not very typical

I don't get it, the timeline has been known since 2021 and has not changed. We are in the middle of the phase-out. All of this is really predictable.

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/mv2-deprecation-timeline

[–] [email protected] 78 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Actually, as someone whose company has been working on updating extensions from MV2 to MV3 for the past four years, the timeline has changed. A couple of times, I think. Originally, MV2 was supposed to be entirely deprecated by the beginning of this year, but they've pushed it back twice and extended enterprise support even further.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

You are right, my bad, last change seems to be a year ago.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It isn't? I just read that the "Chrome MV2 deprecation enterprise rollout" is in June 2025. When is the exact date for the end v2 support? "The changes will be rolled out over the coming months to Chrome Stable, with the goal of completing the transition by the beginning of next year." is not "predictable". It can be any time between 2024 November to 2025 April, maybe even May.

Imagine giving that kind of a time to friend "yeah, I'll show up probably at the beginning of 2025, but that's the plan, it may be all the way until June 2025". Very "predictable".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

It's really standard to leave some time for users to adapt when making a big change. Especially end users. It's actually a good thing, the "friend showing up" analogy makes no sense.

End of support for users is June 2024.

But it did seem to have changed a year ago or so, my bad.

firefox + ublock origin

why are people allergic to firefox?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

Because someone said 10 years ago that it was slow, which is since parroted by a ton of people that would not notice it in any real life scenario.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Afraid of change. Different logo.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

It feels clunky to me. However ads are so much more clunky that I'm gonna switch the second Vivaldi stops working properly.

The longer they put it off, the more unnoticed it will go when they finally do it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Exactly, every time it's close the roar against it gets quieter. They're banking on that

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Didn’t uBlock origin just stop working with Chrome?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Still working for me

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So, you post this after the one blocker that worked stops working, and then you didn't notice?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Because we use Firefox or one oft its forks.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

DNS blocker + browser built-in adblocker (+ system-wide AdGuard). Be my guest.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

Any browsers with good built-in adblocker besides brave? I feel like firefox's built-in content filtering does the very minimum, but I might be wrong

system-wide AdGuard

This is the way on mobile lol. The android rom I'm using comes with a built-in systemwide blocker, which I didn't know about for a very long time, so I was very confused when I saw other people using the same apps as me and seeing ads lol.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (22 children)

Firefox Mobile supports most desktop extensions now, so Ublock Origin works too

Firefox+uBlock Origin

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To my knowledge there are no browsers that have anything similar to brave built in. Ublock simply is incredibly well made (that’s what braves adblocker is based on), so I would always try to use that. Gnome web has in my experience the best built in Adblock except brave (fine for everything but YouTube). AFAIK Firefox forks can change what the built in content filter blocks, at least on librewolf some ads were missing even with ublock disabled.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Give it two more years and brave will stop backporting manifestv2, then you have even less options to avoid google deciding which content needs to be shoved in your face.

I'm using Firefox since forever. In the past I have checked a few times if a swap to chromium is worth it. It never was.

I really don't understand people that prefer Google over Mozilla. Firefox works like a charm and Google already knows enough about us IMHO.

LibreWolf ? First thing that came up when searching for a non-chrome browser with builtin adblocker.

to see it smash

I'm not really sure why I expected here but I was satisfied anyway

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Expected a Rickroll; was disappointed.

I hate it so much I can't even put it into words.

But if the extension is removed from the store you will not get updates.
