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

@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.

@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.

[pouakai@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota
Well, DuckDuckGo desktop browsers aren't FOSS, neither support Linux nor uBO.
Puffin is proprietary too.
Pale moon has an old-schooled design and a buggy ad blocker (likely causing unique fingerprint), while IceCat shipping upgrade quite slowly (not ideal for security reason)

There are other FOSS, privacy-respecting (or protecting) browsers.
Only the only trustworthy browsers are the open source ones.

@Tutanota Firefox mostly, and Vivaldi now and then.

[pouakai@mastodon.social]

@Vash @t3rcermillenium @alexadeswift @Tutanota

but @brave still supports MV2, while even built ad blocker into its core.
So Google's Manifest V3 scam won't be a problem for it.

[bellpeep@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota I personally like zen, but all of the options you listed are pretty good.

[mjc0961@mastodon.social]

@placebo I had the same experience with Vivaldi. Claims to have a built in adblocker, but it let a lot of ads through, so I quickly stopped using it.

[mjc0961@mastodon.social]

@s10n I saw plenty of ads on Vivaldi even with pihole helping it out. Pihole can't block self-hosted ads, and the Vivaldi ad blocker isn't fit for purpose.

[ellie@ellieayla.net]

@Tutanota Safari.

@Tutanota Please include a source if you're gonna lead with a "BREAKING:" line like that ._.

[weirdfoodie@thecanadian.social]

@fbinin @Tutanota Betterbird has been doing things quite well here.

[ivolimmen@toot.community]

@Tutanota I'm using water for some time now and it works just fine. Getting an obscure browser to work perfectly under Linux does require some tinkering.

[vp9kf@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota Why isn't Vivaldi on your list?

[wizzkidd@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota Firefoxian here.
