- Google is transitioning Chrome’s extension support from the Manifest V2 framework to the V3.
- This means users won’t be able to use uBlock Origin to block ads on Google Chrome.
- However, there’s a new iteration of the app — uBlock Origin Lite, which is Manifest V3 compliant but doesn’t boast the original version’s comprehensive ad-blocking features.
oh no.
anyway, have you heard about firefox,librefox,mulvad browser…
Still working for me
I just use safari. With other options.
FYI TELL YOUR LOVED ONES ABOUT THIS
If you are on here you’re probably like me “the it guy of the family”
Mom and dad aren’t going to switch themselves, remove chrome for them as the default install Firefox and tell them to use that unless something absolutely refuses to work. Pick your battles.
I can’t even get my mom to stop believing that her bank would text her asking for her account info.
Good news for Mom, Firefox doesn’t really change functionality wise compared to Chrome.
Sometimes people just refuse common sense and have to be left to ruin their own lives, no matter how much you love them.
Cause theres no point drowning yourself, trying to keep idiots that refuse to swim above water.
If you are the IT guy just buy a raspberry pi or a cheap mini pc and install pi-hole at your parents place that you can access remotely. That way their entire network is blocked from ads and you can troubleshoot from anywhere.
And then it gets blamed every time something doesn’t work right with the internet
I gave my parents 3 "The internet stopped working so I reset the router"s before I stopped trying. If you can’t follow the simplest instructions you’re on your own. Enjoy your adds and paying for subscription services.
Yeah that’s what happened with my wife. Had to scrap PiHole because she didn’t want to deal with it.
Honestly that’s way too much work. Keep it simple imo.
It is simple. Probably simpler than educating a stubborn boomer to use a different browser.
Hopefully the DoJ case against Google includes getting bent over a barrel for abusing their position as a market maker to force their revenue model.
Even the FBI sent a warning imploring everyone use AdBlockers

Just finished migrating to Firefox this year to prep for this. See Ya later Chrome! Give my regards to Netscape.
Firefox is basically netscape navigator https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browsers/browser-history/
My work has edge and chrome. Everything else locked.
Will be seeing ads at work now. Cool.

The only thing that runs Chrome is my work computer only because they installed it and who gives a fuck if they get hacked? I don’t even discern search results because I don’t get paid enough to care.
Just make sure your router is updated. I recommend gl.inet routers if you’re a beginner - easy to keep up to date and their version of OpenWRT has AdGuard installed. Malware can affect more than just the computer you use
I never do personal stuff or even search for non-work related stuff on the machine, and when I’m at home it’s on a guest network by itself on a different subnet. Outside of work hours I manually turn off wifi on the machine and block it on the router.
Firefox ftw
What a disaster… USE FIREFOX
Susceptible to malware even
