Not sure about the reason but I think that it's a technical thing the Google changed to deliberately make it easy to end ublock on a lot of browsers. Might not be the only reason(actual tech upgrades) but I believe it's part of the reason since major conspiracies seem much more likely these days. Anyway, I switched back to Librewolf even though it can't play x.265 files (jellyfin). Anything that kills the use of ublock is dead to me even though they have their own shitty, bullshit blocking solution.

It's been a very well published and discussed process. There are exceptions but browsers are either reconfigurations of firefox, like librewolf, or reconfigurations of google chrome, like vivaldi. Some dweeb will be along in a moment to tell us all how vivaldi is not merely a reconfiguration, but the point is ... google changed the manner in which plugins can interact with the web page you see. In recent months you could re-enable the old plugin interface by recompiling with a different configuration, but once google makes a change that breaks that old interface then you can't just re-enable it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago* (1 child) Anyway, I switched back to Librewolf even though it can't play x.265 files (jellyfin). you should check that again, Firefox gained support for it last year. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Guides/Formats/Video_codecs#hevc_h.265 check the browser compatibility column in the table. it seems maybe Firefox is the only one supporting it even for those without hardware acceleration? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) Admittedly, I haven't tried too hard to get it working in any of the FF browsers lately...my unraid server blew up and it was handling hardware acceleration with a cheap intel vid card.
