Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge
-
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?
-
How painless is it to carry over everything from Firefox?
-
Chrome has admx templates for AD that give you the same level of control.
-
Fancy firefox-based browser along the lines of Arc?
Worth a look if you're a web power-user / developer sort of person
-
Because its not a permanent forever fix for Edge users its downvote worthy?
Yes.
