It's really interesting to see the amount of misinformation being propagated lately.
Do people not bother to fact check anything?
The creator of ublock has made an ad blocker specifically for the new API and it's available to use right now. It's objectively incorrect to claim that ad blockers will not work after June 2024.
The ublock lite extension does have some limitations, such as not allowing you to create filters at runtime. This is the result of not allowing extensions to load code at runtime.
It's fair to criticize this limitation, but that's not what's happening here.
This information is available, it's not hidden, you can read the readme of the ublock lite github repo or something, but are not even attempting to do this for some reason.
I have used the ublock lite extensions to see for myself if it's totally broken, and it worked fine for me, the main limitation for me is not having the "element zapper", but it not blocking ads was not something that I experienced.
I am all for criticizing companies actions, and ad blockers are very important to me just as well as anyone else here, but the dishonestly is very off putting and disappointing.
