uBlock Origin as linked.
- antfarm 1y agoI see. Your mentioning of Google distracted me, how are they involved?

- antfarm 1y agoThanks, but this does not apply to me, not using Chrome is part of my ad blocking strategy.
- zargon 1y agoSafari is limited in the same way as Chrome manifest v3, allowing basically only a URL blacklist. They're crippled compared to uBlock Origin's various other blocking capabilities.
- gruez 1y agoSafari extensions can inject scripts/css as well. That's not as full featured as ubo, but is not "basically only a URL blacklist" either.
- jama211 1y agoI’m also going to add for now you can still manually install ublock on the latest chrome by downloading it from GitHub and installing it under manage extensions. For now.
- tmendez 1y agoAlso plugging Firefox mobile here if you do any web browsing from mobile. You can add uBlock Origin on Firefox mobile, which you can't do on Chrome mobile.
- Jalad 1y agoBut only on Android as far as I know
- Nursie 1y agoFirefox on iOS is a safari wrapper. They do what they can, but they can’t support extensions the same way the Android browser does. It’s a real shame Apple continues to block it from being full-fat.
- _cenw 1y agoOrion can. My guess is that it's just not a priority.
- Nursie 1y agoFrom a quick web search, while it supports installing firefox plugins they may not all work as expected due to limitations/differences in the browser APIs, and ublock origin fails to work properly as a result. So IMHO mozilla are probably choosing "Let's not" rather than "Let's deliver a broken experience" As one user on reddit said - "Orion supports Firefox and Chrome extensions. Yes. And you can install them. Yes. Do they work, though? No, most of them don't. Orion is lying about their extension support. "
