I dunno. The new version does not strongly affect end users (according to the devs) but there is a psychological barrier around switching from the full version to the minus version, which I think will cause me to switch to Firefox.
Even if the new version works now, Google are clearly going to tighten the vice over the next few years.
- Vinnl 4y agoHmm, I guess it depends on what this will look like long-term, but I'd expect that regular uBO will be "upgraded" to this version when MV2 is deprecated in Chrome for good, possibly including the name change (if allowed by Google). Edit: ah, looking at gorhill's comments it looks like this is not intended to be the MV3 version of uBO, but just one that has minimal permissions. Then I guess uBO will migrate in its own time.
- rjh29 4y agoUltimately it'll come down to the experience - if uBlock stops blocking some percentage of ads (because it's impossible under the extension), or triggers ad-blocker-blocker type stuff, I would be very quickly be moving to Firefox! Either way, very thankful to the developers and community for making our web browsing experience so much better.
