You can also just enable one of the "Cookie notices" lists in your ublock settings, no need for another extension.

have a million prompts all over zillions of sites”.

I'm using Ghostery to automatically reject all of those. They pop-in and almost immediately disappear.

Pretty sure I've read months ago that the maintainers said they'll try to support it as long as possible but at the moment v2 support is removed from the source code, they'll won't have the resources to add it back again.

I was using vivaldi and they were kind enough(seriously) to inform me that they don't support ublock anymore maybe a week ago.

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 never going to be as good as ublock edit grammar and shit

I didn't know that, well glad I went to LibreWolf.

LibreWolf has it pre-installed and is Open-source. It worked on waterfox an Open-source fork of Firefox, last time I tried.

As for Vivaldi I guess use Brave instead.

I use android via /e/os. But I cannot experiment with my only phone. There is 2fa and other such services that I have to have access to. Worst case, I cant get into accounts and such.

FF is a great phone btw.

I love my FP6

Every Linux phone uses an android shim just because it isn't possible to change the firmware iirc

You have a point.

...it is a really nice phone.

I just cant afford two. First world problem haha.

I appreciate the response.

I have owned two google phones. Both had hardware issues/battery issues and one almost exploded. One day it got super hot and the battery turned into a spicy pillow. Sorry but im not going to get another google phone as long as I live. Neither lasted more than 2 years.

I'm looking at preordering it. Shipping now would be Dec-Jan.

Well…

With a fork, one is very dependent on the browser dev. Not just on their benevolence, but on their security practices too. And on them pulling in upstream security patches, quickly.

TBH, this is why I do finance stuff on vanilla Firefox. I love browser forks, I really do, but I’m a bit more cautious with them, too.

i mean… blocking lists are universal, but the other features ublock offers are not - i'm making heavy use of ublock's dynamic filtering panel and per-site switches. one important thing i use ublock for is to whitelist which sites get javascript permissions and to get rid of remote fonts to make pages more readable. those features need manifest v2.

if firefox drops manifest v2 and you're relying purely on those inbuilt blocking lists then you might as well use the manifest v3 version of ublock without seeing a difference, right?
