Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge
-
I understand that feeling although they do mention itβs a browser in alpha still so i donβt 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.
-
Yes.
I really appreciate the honesty, thank you. I not don't have to care that those downvotes are rational.
Following this same logic I imagine you downvote any treatments that extend the life of cancer patients because the new treatments aren't full cures.

IIRC Vivaldi and Brave promised to prolong it for a year.
-
Why let the streaming services tell you what you can or can't watch videos on when you can just pirate everything?
-
I'd direct people to Firefox, but Mozilla is doing some weird shit right now and I just can't. And the forks are always with some weird limitations or issues. Why does it all have to be shit these days?
-
I was on Netscape in the 90s, I got on Firefox when it was still Firebird, and I haven't left once. You've been a good friend.
(Though I do like Palemoon a lot since I love the pre Quantum and pre WebExtensions days).
-
And now Firefox is requiring you to hand over your data to them.
If you're talking about the most recent news about the Terms of Service, that is a gross misreading of what they said.
-
If you don't want to be compatible with what millions of websites are written in (because that's the complicated part), you now have to convince all of them to invest lots of money to migrate to your new web standard... Good luck...
-
Test-driving them both now.
-
That's not what that Firefox thing was about at all.

Sounds like a job for JoMiran! Rooting for you!

My company has blocked all other web browsers, so lots of us sadly.
