Firefox says it will keep supporting uBlock Origin even as Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers phase it out under Manifest V3.

    If it goes… I don’t know what I’ll do.

    Go out and touch grass probably.

    Get a hobby.

    Perfect my molotov recipe.

    Sometimes I think it was a mistake to let the programs we primarily use to view text and images become bloated virtual machines that execute megabytes of arbitrary code with every page load.

    Happy with Librewolf. I can’t imagine using my browser everyday if I don’t have a good adblocker on it like uBO.

    Worst part is google could kill Firefox at anytime because they provide a very large amount of Mozilla’s funding.

    Alternate headline: Firefox is now the only browser worth using.

    And in any case, lumping Firefox as one browser is disingenuous. There are numerous Firefox forks, just like every other major browser is in fact a Google Chromium fork.

    A misleading title shilling for Firefox. Brave has full support and it won’t even remove it nor does it actually need it as it has its own in-house fully hard coded adblock that doesn’t need Google services whatsoever.

    We should introduce Manifest V4 that would undo all damage V3 did.
