I trust both of these extensions far more as extensions than I would if they were part of Chrome.
- chii 6y agoand that is why they will eventually be removed one way or another imo.
- vbezhenar 6y agoAFAIK Chrome will change ad blocking API and uBlock Origin won't follow it. So switch to Firefox.
- matheusmoreira 6y agoThese API changes are actually perfectly reasonable. The new API lets extensions tell the browser what to do to the page in a declarative manner. This eliminates the need to pass private user data to the extension code and reduces the potential for abuse. This is a massive improvement compared to just letting random extensions see everything on the page. uBlock Origin just happens to be so important and trusted by the community that it shouldn't be subjected to these restrictions. It's a special case.
