Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge
-
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.
-
Tell that to oir IT partner that we outsourced our IT to…
-
Your outsourced IT provider charges for simple configuration changes? That's a yikes from me. I worked in MSPs for years and those sort of changes were always covered in the standard contract.
-
I get that, but alternatives suck. Firefox doesn't even support all of the extensions I need.
-
You got me there 🤭I don’t see in exact contract with the provider, I only worked with them on some projects (like enterprise wifi via TLS)
But the one in charge of decision making depending IT is fan of the MS ecosystem.
Personally I work with friends to offer workplace in the cloud in the future, like having a complete OS within a browser tab.
