Google is literally punishing Chrome users at this point. I'd be amazed at why it still even has a userbase but then I remember that cigarette companies exist
using firefox right now and noticing the increasing "unusability" of websites funny part about them pushing their ads this hard is gonna have one consequence, im just gonna stop watching youtube, because the reason i used to prefer yt over tv is, you guessed it, the lack of ad breaks. thank you google for positively impacting my usage behavior 😂
i switched to Firefox for unrelated reasons, that was mostly when there search engine really went to shit and i decided if i switch i may as well move away from everything. which unfortunately i havent been able to do with every service yet to replace it but i have plans for all of them that i will do when the time for it comes. im so glad i have started that just a few months before manifest v3 got announced so i have a seamless transition without an interruptions or annoyances and as a bonus i found even more useful tools which allow me to disrupt googles money milking even more.
If you wanna use ublock after the deprecation but stll want to use chrome, use ungoogled chromium, it will never deprecate v2 and is pretty much vanilla chromium
Who is the "smart guy" who thinks people who HATE ads and go out of their way to install blockers are more likely to buy products on their ads? No. The more i see something advertised the more i hate it.
Its just the manifest version.. you can still manipulate stuff in a website with manifest v3... they just need to change the version in the manifest file and maybe do some little adjustments. There will still be ad blocks, not make people get scared lol Anyway you will be required to reinstall the extension then one time. What is really more dangerous to them is that website developers will probably get access to read which extensions are installed on the local browser. This will most likely be forbidden in the EU for privacy reasons, but the rest of the world will face that.
The latest timeline that the Ladybird dev team has released shows the projected launch date of the Ladybird browser to be in 2028. Andreas Kling even said that that date is extremely ambitious, so it is likely that the release date could slip even further into the future. Definitely something to keep an eye on though.

@@lussor1 It doesn't edit the webpage like an extension but it still does what most people want out of it. I run both lol
@@lussor1it does filter certain ads and blocks trackers
@@lussor1 and if you're gonna use a DNS filter, you might as well just used a hosts file.
I’d like to thank and congratulate Microsoft and Google for their continued and highly effective advertisement for Linux and Firefox respectively
Been using windows and chrome since I first started using computers, gonna be a tough switch but Linux and Firefox here I come.
Firefox user here.
I installed U-Block and forgot about it, but now that you've pointed it out, I haven't seen many ads recently... Even on RUclips, where they're meant to block me if I use an adblocker, it works fine.
Vivaldi also has its own content blocker, and it has more functionality than Brave, it allows you to add your own lists, and customize per site blocking potency on a per site level
Google is literally punishing Chrome users at this point. I'd be amazed at why it still even has a userbase but then I remember that cigarette companies exist
using firefox right now and noticing the increasing "unusability" of websites
funny part about them pushing their ads this hard is gonna have one consequence, im just gonna stop watching youtube, because the reason i used to prefer yt over tv is, you guessed it, the lack of ad breaks.
thank you google for positively impacting my usage behavior 😂
I never have been inclined to buy the stuff in the ads.
Been using Firefox for ages now glad I've stuck with it
i switched to Firefox for unrelated reasons, that was mostly when there search engine really went to shit and i decided if i switch i may as well move away from everything.
which unfortunately i havent been able to do with every service yet to replace it but i have plans for all of them that i will do when the time for it comes.
im so glad i have started that just a few months before manifest v3 got announced so i have a seamless transition without an interruptions or annoyances and as a bonus i found even more useful tools which allow me to disrupt googles money milking even more.
Chromium browsers gonna be losing a lot of users when they finally turn off V2.
man i love firefox
Chrome?
No thanks, I value my data.
I have been using Firefox for more than two decades as my default web browser. Thanks for verifying that I have done things right.
really nice of google to be doing some free advertising for firefox like that
the new internet explorer
if they're going to ban adblock, they better be ramping up their advertising to a minimum of 20 per session (and remove skipping as a feature]
Brave is going to support Ublock, Noscript and a few more
And the best thing is that there are malware and scams on Google ads
Mozilla has been so mismanaged that we may eventually need a Firefox fork.
There already are firefox forks, like Librewolf
betterfox and librewolf are great
I tried Floorp and it's great.
@@k327dev Using librewolf rn its great
@@k327dev librewolf is where its at
Brave will find a way.
To be fair, chrome isn’t bad if you think about fast, secure, and doesn’t use too much RAM. Compared to other competitors
It's called Firefox

@@lussor1 I love your sarcasim.
If you wanna use ublock after the deprecation but stll want to use chrome, use ungoogled chromium, it will never deprecate v2 and is pretty much vanilla chromium
I'm so grateful I switched back to Firefox like 2 years ago.
Google provides most of Mozilla's funding. I wonder if they could use this to strongarm Mozilla into cracking down on ad blockers too.
I doubt it that would cause the government to get on their ass due to monopoly laws.

Who is the "smart guy" who thinks people who HATE ads and go out of their way to install blockers are more likely to buy products on their ads? No. The more i see something advertised the more i hate it.
at least brave adblocker still works on youtube.
mine doesn't. i'm using brave nightly, do you use the default brave browser?
Eww. Chrome with a skin
brave will still continue to work because it's adblocking capbilities are built-in. And they can also choose to not use manifest v3...
@superfeel1275 thank God, Google is fucking up , and the Internet is becoming unusable without an adblocker
@@kaydog890 A superior skin mind you
As long as there is a working way to circumvent the AdBlock, more and more websites will start using it.
Its just the manifest version.. you can still manipulate stuff in a website with manifest v3... they just need to change the version in the manifest file and maybe do some little adjustments.
There will still be ad blocks, not make people get scared lol
Anyway you will be required to reinstall the extension then one time.
What is really more dangerous to them is that website developers will probably get access to read which extensions are installed on the local browser. This will most likely be forbidden in the EU for privacy reasons, but the rest of the world will face that.
Brave is the new Chrome
Till Google decides to mess up Chromium enough to mess up all Chromium-based.
@@arachnid83 Thats when I'll use Firefox. Firefox sucks otherwise.
Don't use brave, it is not that much of an improvement over chrome and the devs are scammers.
@@LucasCunhaRocha Still prefer it.

A big thank you to Google for finally giving me the motivation I needed to switch to Firefox
Recently switched to brave here it's nice seeing no ads i always hated them when i was a kid
Firefox bros keep winning
What about that new Ladybird browser? I haven't loked into it yet, just noticed some headlines along.
The latest timeline that the Ladybird dev team has released shows the projected launch date of the Ladybird browser to be in 2028. Andreas Kling even said that that date is extremely ambitious, so it is likely that the release date could slip even further into the future. Definitely something to keep an eye on though.
Making a new browser engine from scratch is kinda close in complexity to making a new OS, so it won't be available any time soon
If Google doesn't want ppl to use their Browser anymore, why don't they just say so?
This has killed my interest in Chrome and Google as a company
Next we'll get something like "AI powered adblocker", that does the job anyway.
Have you pointed out or will you point out a good mobile browser? Will the same standard apply to them too?
My uBlock has blocked 8.143M (!!!) ads as of today.
Holy moly!
9,186M here!
I updated from Netscape to Firefox. What is this chrome?
I've used Firefox, and fun fact, Firefox has many mascots around the world, with Foxkeh, created by Mozilla Japan in 2006, being my personal favorite.
It's the single greatest ad for firefox, that google could have done.
Firefox doesn't get nearly enough love as it should.
Because they became an activist company. I jumped ship the moment brave got released

Waterfox is hardly better. I switched from Waterfox to mainline Firefox a few months ago because they were just adding bugs that don't exist in FF.
Imagine using chrome
