As read from my Mozilla Firefox…
headlines have focused on the detrimental effect this will have on ad blockers, which will need to adopt a complex workaround to work as now. There is a risk that users reading those headlines might seek to delay updating their browser, to prevent any ad blocker issues; you really shouldn’t go down this road—the security update is critical.
It’s almost like tying together feature updates with security updates was a deliberate choice by tech companies so that they could tell users shit exactly like this.
How can there be any real market choices when software literally tells users “for your own safety, you must abandon the things you want, and take the things we give you”. How can consumers influence the direction of the product if they never have the option to decline that direction?

They always have an option, they just don’t have the balls to actually do it.
What a pos company
I really need to start to de-google my life
I always use Mozilla Firefox
sips hot chocolate
So that isn’t my concern.
Which of you fools still use Google products?
I have to use for work, because all our customer only uses chrome or chrome-based browser :(
Show them the way!!! … to Firefox.
Well it’s me bc my job :
- YouTube Revanced for entertainment
- MicroG for account for apps that need google dependency for work
- Gmail for personal email although nowadays i rarely used it because my client rather used Telegram or WhatsApp
- GDrive for backup
I highly recommend looking at something like Proton for 3 and 4. Or backblaze for 4 if it’s truly for backup.
Thx for recommendations bro
I already used proton but that’s only for truly personal stuff, a lot of things on my country only support Microsoft mail or google sadly that’s why I’m still using gmail for works, same thing like WhatsAppNow i only need recommendations for YouTube apps that can sync playlist from my YouTube (like SpMp music player), bc i hate using YtRevanced patch every time YouTube roll out new apps
Ah. I still have a “gmail” account but it’s entirely for the places that require a Google account now.
As for YouTube, I just stumbled across this thread: https://lemmy.zip/post/16741291
So . . . exactly what stealth crap is hidden in the Chrome “update?”
" . . . but it’s also the day Google started to pull the plug on many Manifest V2 extensions as its rollout of Manifest V3 takes shape."
Ahhhh, there we go. Manifest 3 will break almost all Chrome adblockers.
chrome, hahaha
HOW CAN I DELETE SOMETHING I DON’T HAVE!!!
Screams in existential crisis
Awfully convenient for this to come along to coincide with.chrome new manifest change
Amazing how these big corps hate freedom.
We get it guys, you use Firefox.
On Arch, btw
why do I feel like this about the new ad block policy stuff
