Adblockers will stop working any minute now...

i finally see the end for the first time lol

ty :)

Wait, it's not supposed to do that.

source omg??

Actually, as someone whose company has been working on updating extensions from MV2 to MV3 for the past four years, the timeline has changed. A couple of times, I think. Originally, MV2 was supposed to be entirely deprecated by the beginning of this year, but they've pushed it back twice and extended enterprise support even further.

It isn't? I just read that the "Chrome MV2 deprecation enterprise rollout" is in June 2025. When is the exact date for the end v2 support? "The changes will be rolled out over the coming months to Chrome Stable, with the goal of completing the transition by the beginning of next year." is not "predictable". It can be any time between 2024 November to 2025 April, maybe even May.

Imagine giving that kind of a time to friend "yeah, I'll show up probably at the beginning of 2025, but that's the plan, it may be all the way until June 2025". Very "predictable".

Because someone said 10 years ago that it was slow, which is since parroted by a ton of people that would not notice it in any real life scenario.

Afraid of change. Different logo.

It feels clunky to me. However ads are so much more clunky that I'm gonna switch the second Vivaldi stops working properly.

I started with Firefox when I was a teenager yet, and when the first chrome version dropped it was awesome so I migrated. I think I was at uni at the time and Google was seem as a good thing. Gmail was just a couple of years old and was awesome. Webmails at the time was rought.

But chrome changed, and goodle changed. But many years into it was hard to move away. For me the biggest single problem with Firefox was that I could not kill tabs in the tabs "process manager". I keep a lot of tabs open and no browser really solved the problem of many open tabs and tabs that keept open for many weeks. A lot of websites have "memory leak" and slowly but surely grow and grow with memory usage (YouTube is one of them). So that and a bunch of tabs made the usage of the kill tab a must. Over the years I looked for extensions to both organize the tabs better and also not have to keep só much of them opened. But nothing really helped me change my bad habits. I almost migrated back to Firefox when they had the tab groups feature. But they removed and also removed some functionality that made easy to change the whole browser but was a security nightmare.

Anyway, things have changed and I am in the process of migrating. I can kill tabs in Firefox now. I was missing the group tabs feature from chrome, because I got used to it but I think Sideberry can do that and also help manage a lot of tabs/windows and also snapshots. I use session buddy in chrome. But that fucker failed me many times and I had to recovered the lost saved sessions. That kinda leave worried with Sideberry and use more of the advanced tab management stuff. But at least I noticed today that it can auto-export the snapshots to the external FS and then no matter what happens with the extension DB I can always recover it.

So Yeah. Took a minute but I think I am almost ready to really migrate.

TL;DR: Getting too comfy with a closed platform is a bitch.

Exactly, every time it's close the roar against it gets quieter. They're banking on that

Still working for me

I don't know, maybe

Any browsers with good built-in adblocker besides brave? I feel like firefox's built-in content filtering does the very minimum, but I might be wrong

system-wide AdGuard

This is the way on mobile lol. The android rom I'm using comes with a built-in systemwide blocker, which I didn't know about for a very long time, so I was very confused when I saw other people using the same apps as me and seeing ads lol.

Expected a Rickroll; was disappointed.

to see it smash

I'm not really sure why I expected here but I was satisfied anyway

But if the extension is removed from the store you will not get updates.
