Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge
-
Honestly, it's pretty easy to dunk on edge. But it's based on the same chromium browser. They have excellent customer support. I have in the past submitted bug reports and they have followed up.
Until now, they had pretty good privacy and options in their settings. With this v2 / v3 situation, I will have to reassess all that. -
This might actually reverse firefox's decline in userbase at least in the business world. Any shop that already has multi-OS management could probably insta-switch to firefox, and i'm sure that MS locked-in places could too given enough of a push by IT.

Why is it that when I see removed, it's always from lemmy.ml, is that the only instance with the filter enabled

I feel similarly. Javascript was made to add some functionality to documents and now we're basically running Doom in a word professor. I don't know what a better system would look like, but I'd draw a line between document-type pages and pages that you want to do more on.

If you rely so much on buying digital, be ready for a surprise later on down the line.

I used to just use Firefox for Google Meet, but it seems they broke it somewhere along the way. Probably on purpose.
-
They might be using a third party authenticator to control access. My own job does that. Though I've been told we're moving to Outlook soon.

Archive the physical copy for the inevitable shutdown. No one can stop an old disc player plugged into a dumb tv.

The Privacy Policy for a long time has been that they use your data for marketing. I'm honestly completely confused why people are always recommending it.

But no one can take a file from my hard drives either. No need for it to be on a low-capacity disk when a thing half the size of a DVD box can fit orders of magnitude more.

It's the biggest one still federated with .world with that filter.

The browser you use to download Firefox

Because the best sort of shit post is one that's also informative!

Funny that you mention it. Not a single reinstall since I switched my homelab to nixOS. That, and using Tailscale has made hosting your own stuff easier than ever. Microsoft and Google environments are just gross, bloated and dependant on the amateurs who still work for those graveyard companies. I spent close to 20 years working professionally on that crap and won't touch it anymore. Sorry if you're still stuck in the past.

a chromium skin

Firefox also has SSO integration with M365! Last I tested it it was less clean than Microsoft's but it does exist and work the last time I used it
-
So, unironically, I do plan to request Firefox with uBlock Origin as a reasonable accomodation for my ADHD if I'm not able to use it at a job in the future. Banner ads are genuinely distracting and I have a real disability that makes them worse for me.
