Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge
-
Looks like
-
Edge is actually pretty decent. Native vertical tabs, M365 SSO integration, native multiple profiles with quick switching, preinstalled on your work computer and will work with anything that "only works in chrome"
Obviously this is ignoring the obvious downsides such as assisting Microsoft's search, browser and platform monopolies, tracking data sent to Microsoft, etc. etc.

I saw one guy from my it team use a browser without adblock. Please send help
-
My work insists on using it too. Fuck knows why, maybe it's a security thing? And my personal laptop is constantly nagging me to use edge - it could be the best browser ever and I would still avoid it just because of the pushiness.

Sounds like you're describing pure HTML5
JavaScript partially took off due to HTML's limited functionality at the time. This was also around the time that web media was becoming really big, which before HTML5 it wasn't easy to integrate into a webpage without turning to extra libraries or extensions

It's more that .ml is the biggest instance with that filter that will show up on .world, the biggest instance overall. So statistically, unless they are specifically looking at instances with automatic slur post filtering, this is the situation they will notice it in. They aren't seeing the content differently, the removed is happening at the post so it's the same experience for everybody.

Fair, I love Brave too much tho. And I don't care about Manifest V2. So, for me personally its great.
-
Why? Brave is amazing!
-
brave is built on chromium and it also has crypto stuff, so people here hate it

The browser you use to download Firefox
Huh? Just type
winget install Mozilla.Firefoxinto PowerShell / cmd. -
It's a good Chromium based Windows native browser that has integration with your Entra ID account so all your bookmarks / history is automatically synced and users have seamless experience when switching devices. No longer seeing tickets like ″My bookmarks are gone after I reinstalled my PC″ is enough to consider Edge as your company main browser. And the fact that it is part of OS, you do not need to worry about install and patching.
I prefer Firefox, but from Chromium browsers Edge is really good, you cannot expect companies to suggest something like Vivaldi.
-
Yeah, if you didn't see that writing on the wall you need your eyes testing.
No Chrome browser will be maintained to keep using Manifest V2.
Use Firefox.
-
Yeah, that's fair, I thought it would probably be something like that. TBF it's work, they're paying me, I'll use whatever they choose. I won't have it on my own computer though just because of Microsoft's hard sell
-
Removed? What could the comment possibly say in this context that would warrant removal?
God, .ml manages to be the worst parts of both shitlib civility bullshit and tankie bullshit.
-
Mozilla sucks as well
We’re truly doomed
-
My friends who are less tech literate swear by brave
I am entirely unshocked that people who don't know shit, swear by bad products and scams.

Why a new engine, Firefox is open source?!
Fork Firefox.
But good luck funding a team to keep up with commercial companies’ pace. It needs funding.
If Mozilla made a way to donate in a way that I KNEW it would go towards the maintenance of the browser, and not another crappy thing they’re trying to be profitable, I’d donate in a second. I spend about £30/month on OSS donations and I’d happily add £5/month to Mozilla if I trusted them not to misspend it.

You answered the question yourself. The worry is that without a hard fork that is fully maintained we'll continue to have a dependence on Mozilla. It doesn't need to be a new engine, but it does need to be an independent one.

For flash I think you're describing Ruffle
