Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge
-
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
-
No, Ruffle is an alternative interpreter. I mean an alternative, FOSS, technology.
-
You can easily hide crypto stuff (which I do) and Chromium is great, just not Google Chrome, but the actual Chromium.
-
the problem with chromium is that because 98% of people use it, google gets to decide how the internet works basically
-
Exactly that
-
Of course, but extra work is required for third party browsers vs just using windows built in browser designed to be managed using entraID / intune.
Companies don’t like to pay extra.
-
It's no different than controlling add-ons via GPO like we did in the old days of on-prem. No extra cost associated.
