    2. Brave uses Chromium, they will have to use whatever Google tells them to use.

    3. I don't believe that's correct...

  2. Thank the gods for Firefox. I stopped using Chrome ages ago.

  3. I was surprised how easy the migration to Firefox has been. I'm now waiting for the hammer to finally fall on the manifest 2 extinctions I use, and, with a final download of passwords, I move to FF.

  6. Time to move away from Chrome and Chromium based browsers, I already use Firefox and Brave which the Brave team clearly stated they will do whatever is needed for it to still works fine with Ublock Origin, so we will be fine.

    1. Brave is based on Chromium though https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser)

    2. Yup, but the devs aren't ok with what Google decided and they will do everything they can to keep compatibility with ublock origin.

    1. rather switch to Firefox if you want to be safe

      Delete
    2. true, I do use Firefox side by side Brave just in case.

      Delete
    3. Brave cannot replace Firefox, because - "extensions aren't supported in mobile versions of Brave" Big 👎 to me. There are so many useful extensions for Firefox and I can't think of using any browser without them.

  9. Brave browser seems to be good alternative

    3. amazing. You will never see a single pop up or ad. And even youtube doesn't show ads on it at all

      Delete
  10. I moved to Firefox years ago, but sometimes I use SRWare Iron, which is based on Chromium. I guess we'll have to wait for someone to come up with a workaround.

  11. I'm choosing firefox over chrome browsers. Google keeps Mozilla alive in order to avoid monopoly fines

    ReplyDelete
  12. fully migrated to Brave, it's much better than before.. blocks everything at least on desktop, they have some work to do on the mobile version.

    1. I use Brave and a network based adblocker like Pihole. So every device on my network gets filtered as well.

  15. i dont use chrome. i develop my own browser. everything customized according to my rule. you also can develop your own browser using mozilla open-source. but you have to know web programming with TCP socket

    ReplyDelete
  16. I use Opera GX and have for years now

    ReplyDelete
  17. ARC probably my next browser

    ReplyDelete
  18. Already switched to Firefox years ago and never looked back. Screw Google for pulling this stunt with chromium. How about instead of new extension rules there's new rules for ads:
    Only 2 ads per page/video max
    If it's a video with sound, the volume can only be 50% of the volume of the content being played
    Ad spaces must show a clear "dismiss" or "close" button as a square that takes up 25% of the space of the ad
    The "dismiss" button must be clearly distinguishable and clicking anywhere in that square immediately stops the ad and closes it
    Ads may only take up a maximum of 25% of the total real estate of a page (by pixels).
    Ads must be able to be dismissed immediately without waiting a minimum amount of time
    Ad block extensions are allowed to block and auto dismiss ads instantly

  19. Last roll call to jump ship for those still using Chrome

    ReplyDelete
  20. Internet download manager ( the famous IDM ) extension is also will be stopped

    ReplyDelete
  21. Google is a festering pile of crap.
    They have to be rewritten for the new Chrome V3 extensions which will be mandatory. The new V3 ad blockers should still work OK but some say not as well. You can also run the original V2 versions for 1 year by using this registry setting:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]
    "ExtensionManifestV2Availability"=dword:00000002

  22. please ! get mozilla... is one of the best and the main browsers! there are many other as well... research/learn! #onelove #peace

    ReplyDelete
  23. Total bogus / sensation article. As if ublock origin isn't going to change their code/functions to still be working on chrome.

    ReplyDelete
  24. uBlock already advised everyone using chrome to install their uBlock-lite version that will continue working after the Chrome update.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Blocking blocker is legal, but blocking infinite adware is not allowed.. time to say goodbye chrome

    ReplyDelete
  26. the ublock developer should update it's code to use the new manifest

    ReplyDelete
  27. Don't use Chrome and never will.

  30. So sick of so much intrusion

    ReplyDelete
  31. I wonder how long it'll take Google to realise that Chromes userbase is going to start switching to other browsers and leaving their ad-infested ass behind like people did with MySpace

    ReplyDelete
  32. Google really doesn't want people using their browser. Another app falls to the advertisers...

    ReplyDelete
  33. Seems Google tries so hard to make changes that “accidentally” disable ad blockers.
