   For UBO, first they'd need to implement MV3 while still keeping webRequestBlocking.. it seems that there's currently no information about this, so I asked them: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues&#x

   The solution on linux should be to install system-wide "policy" extensions - they support webRequestBlocking. Possibly via system package manager.

   I agree with your observations, but your comment gives the perfect context to understand why in my opinion, by rapidly expanding web standards, Google makes it harder for independent browsers to sustain themselves (deliberately or not - I d

   Exactly, Mozilla just tries to mislead people that their "web services" are indivisible parts of Firefox, but they're not, for me it's a software running on my computer.

    For me, the best option would be to be able to donate to Firefox engineers directly, but not to Mozilla, they do too many things, I don't stand for those, just the Firefox browser...

    It's not that you can just install LibreWolf and forget about it forever. If everyone does this, Mozilla won't be able to monetize your data and they will fight back for their survival. Someone needs to fund the actual browser dev

    This doesn't change the fact that it will only work in Chrome for a long time before it ships to firefox.

    So websites "look better in Chrome", that's what Google wants.. but it's ultimately not good for us, so I hope developers don't fall for this..

    I don't use much, so for me this is not a good deal - I'd pay for "unlimited" usage, but make just a few requests daily.. So those who use less pay for those who use more, and I don't see it as a fair deal. BTW, Gro

    I'm a freeloader and it appears that unfortunately Elon is not stupid enough to just give it to me for free.. There's no fair price either since I see no pay-per-use pricing, so.. unavailable for me for now.

    Public companies have to put profit first. We need to solve this with regulations, we can't count on their goodwill.

    WebAssembly is still very limited and not a "first class" language in browser, not sure why..

    > So being inclusive and introducing new people who have not been exposed to e.g. advanced mathematics is a bad thing? Your definition of "being inclusive" is controversial and voters (including me) don't agree with that.

    So this would only be "bad" move by cloudflare if you could get around it by recompiling the browser with spoofed UA/strings. Otherwise they'd have to support every possible engine which is infeasible. That saying, the &

    Do these browsers employ any additional tracking protections? "Browser integrity checks" are browser-specific and they might rely on the "entropy" those tracking vectors provide.
