There are only a handful of extensions that are deal breakers (the lack of which would send users to other browsers). uBlock Origin, for example. All the others can fuck right off.
- jtbayly 6y agolol. If you think uBlock Origin going away will make people switch browsers, I think you've got another think coming. We will soon see... 1. When (not "if") Google kills UBO 2. How Chrome's market share doesn't drop
- michaelmrose 6y agoGoogle have already given notice that they are killing uBlock Origin. Manifest v3 will eliminate the ability to have your own adblocker. In its place will be the ability for an extensions to provide an interface to a built in functionality that is deliberately gimped. Adblock addons will be drastically limited in functionality, must bundle the block list with the addon, can't update the list outside of updating the addon, are limited to a fraction of the size of existing block lists. This will end the arms race in favor of ads vs blockers by ensuring that ad blockers can't win while pretending its not ending adblocking.
