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.
Just use Firefox and don’t worry too much about it. Tech people are a bit crazy about this stuff sometimes. It’s just telemetry going to the Mozilla Foundation, it’s not a huge deal IMO. If you really really care then use Librewolf but prepare to accept the trade off that some websites just don’t work sometimes.
