Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge
-
I agree. I'd even be willing to regularly donate to a foundation that would have this aim as their goal and have their acts matching their promises.
Although, not necessarily a new engine. Going from scratch is a good way to remake a lot of mistakes, while reusing old code is a good way to keep old debt. That's not a decision I would like to have to take.
-
It's nice to use a browser which doesn't depend of extensions to block ads.
-
I know there are but my employer is amazing and the work life balance is great. Don’t care enough to try and change our tech stack, but I hold no ill will towards anyone who does care enough.
-
Yeah, I hate how projects become allergic to options. If you want to push your own agenda with new defaults, okay fine, but never ever remove options, let people keep it how they liked it.
-
A lot of people won't know but Edge is a browser made by Microsoft that nobody uses and now less than no one will use.
-
Ladybird Browser is coming, but could be a couple years still
-
Ive been firefox for a long while now
-
You can remove that, i don’t see any workspaces
-
Yes, actually, they made the source available again.
-
I saw in their notes for the previous updates about the workspaces, which essentially said "workspaces are a major part of Zen, so you are no longer allowed to NOT use them". When it was clearly a viable option before. So much for being customizable!
-
Yeah the level of control Active Directory can have over Edge is unparalleled. The entire industry would move to a more secure browser and can be centrally managed with Active Directory if something existed.
-
At least Bing pays you to use them, so don't feel bad
-
I have a feeling you might be one of those that turned their automatic updates off after an issue where they really, really fucked the UI up on Macs, or something like that. Or you might be a person who doesn't like the auto updates anywhere.
I turned mine off for awhile, but don't want to catch anything when a new FF release rolls out, so I turned them back on, especially since I rarely use the browser anymore due to said changes with no user options.
I'm on the latest version on Windows, Linux, and Mac. The option is gone, I'm afraid.
-
I’m on the latest version try installing this Zen Mod that lets you remove anything https://zen-browser.app/mods/ab9b529c-63d6-48c0-a59a-4a407c5c3129/
-
While I really appreciate you for helping, the fact that these were part of the core application, then taken away by the developers so that we rely on third parties to bring back, is my biggest gripe with the browser. The options were there, and they took them out. I would rather just go back to Firefox than deal with an always changing UI, and removal of options.
-
Firefox has been my daily driver for a decade but that doesn't really change anything that I said.
-
Infinite options is bad design for a number of reasons. One is that when everyone's experience is unique, troubleshooting is impossible. Two is that when you add an option, you have to support that option forever.
Options are expensive, at least if you want to keep your software working for a long period of time.
-
I understand that feeling although they do mention it’s a browser in alpha still so i don’t judge them too harshly for it
-
BSD licensed
Ew. It ought to be AGPLv3.
(I almost just said "copyleft," but as Chromium proves, even LGPL is insufficient protection from corporate usurpation.)
-
I had a feeling this would happen. I have to use Google services for a lot of things at work and Edge works fine with them. Firefox usually does okay, but not always. And now Firefox is requiring you to hand over your data to them.
Can any Chromium-based browser refuse to turn on V3 or is it too baked-in without forking the entire project?
