This means, among other things, that uBlock Origin is about to be disabled in Chrome. Google will choose a different extension to recommend but it can not be as effective as #uBlock Origin.
Following #Google's example, may I instead recommend you switch to #Firefox.
Firefox will continue to support Manifest v2, and consequently uBlock Origin and other extensions that can not be implemented with Manifest v3.
@pointlessone uBlock Lite for manifest v3 is essentially neutering the ad block extension to be as ineffective as possible. The web as we know it currently can be ad-free with uBO, but in v3, you'll "enjoy" seeing advertisements more and more and more because one of Google's first loves is ad revenue money and they can't have that if we keep blocking it. #Firefox
Google announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin #uBOwill be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 (#Mv3).
The new #Chrome manifest will prevent using custom filters and stops on demand updates of blocklist. Only #Google authorized updates to browser extension will be allowed in the future, which mean an automatic win for Google in their battle to stop YouTube #AdBlockers .
#ManifestV3 is deceitful and threatening to your privacy, and now is a good time to switch to #Firefox (@mozilla) and/or #TorBrowser (@torproject) if you haven't done so already!
EDIT for clarification: MV3 in Chrome will still allow some ad blocking extensions, but will severely limit their blocking ability and even restricts pre-set filters to 50 MAX.
Dies sind #Firefox 'Alternativen' um sich sicherer Daten minimal im Internet zu bewegen. Dies sind #Librewolf für den #Desktop und #Fennec für #Android Geräte über @fdroidorg installierbar. Mit den entsprechenden #Addons, im Mastodon Link, für Firefox lässt sich seine #Privatsphare besser schützen.
I am still amused that #reddit actually thinks I would choose to use their piece of shit app to read reddit on my phone instead of #Firefox with adblocker.
I just spent two hours trying to get #Firefox to use #KDE Dolphin as the default file manager.
I went on a journey from .desktop files and mimeinfo.cache, through DBus, to .service files.
I shook with anger when everything seemed configured correctly, but Firefox would just not launch a file manager at all. Click that "show in folder" button and nothing happens.
I have now found the problem.
The problem was: systemd. :angery:
Why. Is. Systemd. Involved. In. Launching. A file manager. 👀
Oh this sounds like #Firefox will become a real browser for me soon. I wish they were ready already for the #ManifestV3 thing. But I guess it's good to know they're on it.
In case you’ve been asleep at the wheel – and if you’re still using Chrome, you most likely are – Manifest V3 will heavily limit what content blockers can do, making them less effective at things like blocking ads.
Einen Beitrag zum Thema Browser zu veröffentlichen, ist mindestens genauso anstrengend wie zum Thema Messenger. Inhaltlich setzt man sich kaum mit den Aussagen und Erklärungen auseinander, sondern Stammtischparolen ersetzen dann eine ernsthafte Diskussion. Auf diesem Niveau möchte ich wirklich nicht diskutieren.
Embora não seja destinada a bloquear anúncios, esta extensão acaba bloqueando porque os anúncios funcionam com rastreadores e coletores de dados que são o verdadeiro alvo.
Vale muito a pena. Recomendo. Excelente oportunidade idade para usar um navegador melhor!
The new MV3 architecture reflects Google’s avowed desire to make browser extensions more performant, private, and secure. But the internet giant’s attempt to do so has been bitterly contested by makers of privacy-protecting and content-blocking extensions, who have argued that the Chocolate Factory’s new software...
We recommend Mullvad Browser if you are focused on strong privacy protections and anti-fingerprinting out of the box, Firefox for casual internet browsers looking for a good alternative to Google Chrome, and Brave if you need Chromium browser compatibility.
Most Web-savvy folks know that Chrome’s lineage can be traced back to Safari (WebKit, etc.), and be traced further back to KDE’s Konquerer (KHTML, etc.).
Aufgrund der Datenschutzverstöße in der aktuellen Android-Version von Firefox (Version 126.0) habe ich @mozilla kontaktiert und um Stellungnahme gebeten. 👇

Google's "Manifest V2" Chrome extension phaseout next month is expected to impact the original uBlock Origin extension, which still uses the V2 framework and has 37 million users (www.theregister.com)
