Reminder to switch browsers if you haven’t already!
- Google Chrome is starting to phase out older, more capable ad blocking extensions in favor of the more limited Manifest V3 system.
- The Manifest V3 system has been criticized by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation for restricting the capabilities of web extensions.
- Google has made concessions to Manifest V3, but limitations on content filtering remain a source of skepticism and concern.
Odd it’s desktop Firefox/Librewolf for me that has all the issues instead of mobile Firefox/Fennec. But yeah. Unfortunately Firefox laid off a lot of their developers a few years back and it’s starting to catch up to them now.
But I don’t like the above post being down voted. Yes use gecko if you can, but but down voteing for somebody stating the objective fact that gecko is starting to lag behind isn’t going to help it get better.
