One of my co-workers switched to UBlock Lite instead of UBlock Origin and now the ads are back.
Now he’s working on switching to a non-Google browser.
Good job, Google. You have killed Google for yet another former customer.
Chrome users are not customers, they’re the product.
OK, then. Killing their product.
Average google then lol
Firefox or Librewolf are nice.
I like Floorp.
Haven’t found a better fork with vertical tabs and the customization Floorp offers. So Floorp it is.
You are not Google’s customer. You’re the product they sell to their customers.
Edit: Made this comment before refreshing the post to see the person above me. What they said.
I 'm forced to use Chrome on my work laptop and it is the worst browser (even before the disabling of Manifest V2), but for security I can’t access many systems with even another chromium based browser . Funnily IT forces an extension on us and it isn’t compatible with Manifest V3.
Stop. Using. Chrome.
Firefox is the way.
I don’t have any chrome extensions because I don’t use chrome. Everyone else should do the same.
chrome just killed Ublock on me and EVERY site is now full of ads… I had no idea how bad it had become! What browser do you suggest?
Firefox or a fork of Firefox.
Speaking of Firefox forks… they’re doing some really cool things with FireDragon and Zen Browser.
Firefox of course.
I’d also suggest their VPN, as its a cheaper mullvad.
The sad thing is that people will see this and still try to find a way to keep using chrome instead of just moving to a browser that actually respects them.
For crying out loud they’re not just targeting adblockers.

This is the list, for those who don’t want to read it. I don’t see Adguard Adblocker on there, surprisingly or SponsorBlock. Besides UBlock Origin, which is a staple extension of mine for all browsers and we’ve long knew about Google’s approach to that. I haven’t seen a lot of what I use/used on here. I don’t even know most of these.

At home I only use Firefox.
If you’re talking about the extension that looks like an R with a green arrow, the author passed away a couple years ago. https://github.com/einaregilsson/Redirector/issues/329
The repo has a new maintainer but there’s been no new releases since the maintainer doesn’t have access to the extension release pages. No surprise that a MV3 version hasn’t been worked on.
It still works on Firefox, though.
Hey, thanks! I don’t know if I can use Firefox at work. I’ll have to see. Could be a good time to push Firefox there.
Hopefully the new maintainer can get releases going again. It’s a great extension!
Pushbullet is also dead. ☹️
That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long long time. I thought it died due to it being a privacy nightmare or something. There was some controversy at least.
Hasn’t it been dead for years? You can probably get the same functionality with other apps, depending on what you use it for.

- Extend

XMPP all over again.
For reals please don’t use chrome it’s a terrible browser
One of the extensions blocked is called “Trump blocker” - looks like they are getting into arse kissing too
It’s not blocked because of the “Trump” bit though, right? It’s because it’s not a manifest V3 extension
Yeah I only run chrome for Microsoft teams which I unfortunately still have to use.
The other day I saw a list of like 20 plugins, about 90% of what I have installed, banned. Not that I ever want chrome back but WTF?
I’m guessing not since I don’t use google chrome and haven’t for a while.
Nope. Cloud to Butt still works for me.

Forgot about cloud to butt. We might need AI to butt with a backwards compatible blockchain to butt nowadays.
Yeah they essentially killed about half the extensions I use. I have to use the browser for work.
I used to use Selenium extension on Chrome to test my applications for Chrome compatibility. Chrome said they are disabling it now. Do you not want web applications to be easily tested for Chrome compatibility, Google?
They are probably moving to Chrome DevTools Protocol or WebDriver BiDi
I’m just worried about how zdnet presumes to know what I think.
Google kills things, that’s what they do. They can get fucked.
