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

    That will totally lead to websites not supporting or even blocking Firefox. Together with uBlock capitulating against Facebook and all those age registration nonsense, I really am scared about the future of the web.

      When I did a site that didn’t play nice with one of my various Mozilla Gecko/Fusion browser flavors, I try a different one.

      When they all are failing, not just WaterFox, I either fire up DuckDuckGo Browser or Safari if on a Mac.

      If that were to fail I probably would quit using that service.

      My actual Google account isn’t allowed on most of my computers anymore, since I DeGoogled, and only have it operating in very sandboxed environments like one Vivaldi browser that lives inside of a VM.

      I jumped to i2p for this reason. I think internet is dead, we will have to have a double identity to avoid brainrotting

      A lot of websites that really should be testing for this don’t work on Firefox.

      Absolute worst case Firefox can focus on feature parity(as it already has a lot of), and lie on the UserAgent

      Other adblocks still work. I’m using Ghostery on Vivaldi (Chromium-based) and it works perfectly fine, including blocking ads during YouTube videos.

      No idea why uBlock specifically is being blocked, but it’s not like you can’t have an ad-blocker anymore.
