🚨🚨 BREAKING: Google Chrome to kill uBlock Origin for good 🚨🚨

Sorry, no other browser comes even close to the usability of Vivaldi (on the desktop).

At least that one will still come with an in-built adblocker - and with a pi-hole in my network, I don't see the problem (a.k.a. "ads") anyway.

So is Brave - afaik also based on Chromium?

Sorry, but you can't recommend Brave.

[wcbdata@vis.social]

@Tutanota Vivaldi, of course.

@t3rcermillenium @elduvelle @Vivaldi @alexadeswift @Tutanota vivaldi has a built-in ad blocker, and my understanding is that it doesn't need this API. Although from my experience it isn't that good; when I used vivaldi for a while, I used it with ublock lite.

@elduvelle @t3rcermillenium @Vivaldi @alexadeswift @Tutanota
Vivaldi user Chromium and has stated that they do not have the manpower to maintain Manifest V2 support, so uBlock Origin will be history on Vivaldi as well.

However when Google announced the end of MV2, Vivaldi announced their built in adblocker.

@placebo @elduvelle @Vivaldi @alexadeswift @Tutanota I recently tried #vivaldibrowser. Very nice but I had the same experience with ads. For now, I’ll stick with #firefox

@Tutanota
Why does everyone forget Librewolf? Also, while at it, Betterbird in lieu of Thunderbird.

@Tutanota give Zen Browser a try, its firefox based and my personal favorite.

[latgal@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota looks like I'm only one here with Brave )

[dapper_11@mastodon.social]

@alexadeswift @Tutanota Yeah, I recently switched to @Vivaldi , its the best browser, I'd prefer a Gecko / Firefox base, but I'm sure they have their reasons.

[vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net]

@elduvelle @t3rcermillenium @alexadeswift @Tutanota we unfortunately don't have the manpower to maintain these once Chromium pulls the plug

[myrtlears@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota You can also use any MV3 blockers like uBlock Origin Lite, it works just as well from my experience.
