For those of you using recently releases of Google Chrome then uBlock continues to be available as uBlock Origin Lite for your content blocking and security enhancing needs

#Deepl ist mittlerweile auch unbenutzbar geworden.

Wenn s.deepl.com (Statistic-Dingens) im #ublock stecken bleibt, erkennt er nicht mal mehr die Sprache - geschweige denn das es übersetzt.

Schnüffler allerorten.

Dann eben nicht.

#Google a supprimé #uBlock Origin de son navigateur #Chrome, mais c'est pour votre bien.

Officiellement c'est leur migration des extensions pour "améliorer la vie privée et la sécurité", officieusement c'est leur petite guerre de #Youtube parce que uBlock était le meilleur pour bloquer les pubs.

Apparemment il tourne encore chez certains. Enfin, si vous utilisez encore #Chrome

You might have noticed Google has already scrapped unsupported extensions from its Web Store, including uBlock Origin. Despite it being scrapped, you can still keep using it by re-enabling it. Here's how.

chat is there a more granular way to block service workers while keeping regular web workers working? the worker-src CSP seems to affect both which breaks a lot more than i'm comfortable with

Je cherche à bloquer le "explore" de Mastodon parce que j’ai tendance à aller y voir des trucs que je n’ai pas envie de voir.

Vous avez une idée de règle #ublock pour bloquer juste cette partie de mastodon ? (sur mon instance).

Wer jetzt noch #Google #Chrome als #Browser nutzt, dem ist wirklich nicht mehr zu helfen.

Chrome räumt auf: Tausende Browser-Erweiterungen fliegen raus

Perfect timing... Google's disabling uBlock Origin, Mozilla is imploding Firefox... The tin-foil hat side of me says this was premeditated. https://www.theverge.com/news/622953/google-chrome-extensions-ublock-origin-disabled-manifest-v3

#ublock #chrome #google De oplossing is simpel #DeGoogle mensen. Beter voor je #privacy en het maakt het op ad’s gedreven verdienmodel weer wat minder waard. #firefox #librewolf hoe zit het met forks #vivaldi en #opera onderstenen die nog wel of ook niet meer.

Chrome-gebruikers klagen bij uBlock Origin-ontwikkelaar over einde support https://www.security.nl/posting/878694/Chrome-#gebruikers+klagen+bij+uBlock+Origin-ontwikkelaar+over+einde+support?channel=rss

Once #uBlock Origin stops working on #Chrome, you have 2 options. Despite the vast popularity of this ad-blocking extension, #Google doesn't want it around. But there is a silver lining.

So, mich hat es jetzt auch erwischt, die #Chrome Erweiterung #uBlock Origin wurde beim Start des Browsers deaktiviert. Webseiten wie z.B. linkedin.com sind damit auf einen Schlag nicht mehr zu gebrauchen.

Ich teste jetzt parallel #Librewolf und auf Hinweis von Tobias auch #Brave als Standardbrowser. Dokumentiere meine Erfahrungen auf CONNECT und werde Ende März eine Entscheidung treffen: https://community.cogneon.de/t/houston-wir-haben-ein-browser-problem/4172/6

Hab gerade spontan beschlossen, #Chrome den Rücken zu kehren. #uBlock

@cR0w @scottwilson @mttaggart @da_667 @Gabrielle @Sempf @winterknight1337 #librewolf based on Firefox...

I just use #firefox with #uBlockOrigin Love #ublock !!!

but #mozilla should take firefox more seriusly! If nothing helps for them, why don't they try the #thunderbird option: #donatepopup

Mozilla Firefox is officially dead.

My back is officially turned.

What options remain?

For now I'm probably going to be using Gnome Web (i.e. Epiphany) for most straightforward web browsing. It works more than well enough for the stuff I do. Mobile version for Android? Does it exist? iOS?

I'll use Vivaldi for lame "modern" sites that a "simple" browser like Epiphany can't render properly. Mobile?

We'll see how far that goes. This may be less and less of an issue. The big player sites like Google, Meta, etc. are not somewhere I tend to visit.

Banking sites are a mixed bag of necessity.

I'm about to let my Amazon Prime account lapse on its yearly renewal since I won't use them any more.

At least Vivaldi seems to be a decent organization. Technology is based on Chromium though - and this is why I haven't started using it.

I will need to investigate Vivaldi's built-in adblocking since manifest v2 isn't a thing under Chromium.

I used to care about keeping the Mozilla rendering engine alive and relevant but now not so much.

The Firefox forks I've tried have been a mixed bag of whether their new versions follow re-enabling the privacy invasive things that Mozilla upstream does when it sends out a new version.

Time to leave them behind as well I guess.

A lot will depend on how much I miss ublock origin.

If there is a mass exodus from all the Firefox based forks then ublock may cease to exist.

There's a rant in there about pi-holing all browsers but I don't have it in me ATM.
