Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge
-
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.
-
Why would anyone use anything but Brave anyway? Brave will still support manifest v2 shit.
-
Was super easy but my setup is pretty minimal.
Export bookmarks from Firefox, install favourite addons in the Floorp extension menu and lastly import bookmarks.
Most of the settings will be familiar and some features will be new like the workspaces and sidebar.
Hope your transfer goes smoothly!
-
Lol Microsoft really using their browser market share effectively
-
Just in case you needed another reason not to use Edge.
-
it's very brave to say something like that here
-
Brave will support it until it becomes inconvenient to do so as the Chromium base keeps moving everywhere onwards.
Regardless, Brave have their own skeletons in the closet... crypto, installing other Brave applications during browser install without consent, injecting their affiliate links when nobody asked, a CEO who donated money to homophobic causes more than once.
-
For anybody unaware, their new privacy notice essentially states that if you opt in to using a third party LLM within Firefox, the LLM provider will get the info that you give to the LLM.
-
Genuine question - isn’t their terms basically “if you use these third party services you’re subject to their terms, and also were going to collect some data to see if people actually use this feature or if it’s a waste of time?”
