- Google is transitioning Chrome’s extension support from the Manifest V2 framework to the V3.
- This means users won’t be able to use uBlock Origin to block ads on Google Chrome.
- However, there’s a new iteration of the app — uBlock Origin Lite, which is Manifest V3 compliant but doesn’t boast the original version’s comprehensive ad-blocking features.
Let’s be honest, Mozilla is only 1/10 as shitty as Google because they’re 1/100 the size. If they had the resources, they’d be just as awful. They’ve already shown us how awful they can be at their current size, I can’t imagine how bad they’d be if they were at Google’s scale. Firing your employees and giving your execs bonuses is 100% a Google-like move, and the only reason they stopped at a few hundred employees was because they didn’t have more to give.
Just because they make a good open source product doesn’t make them immune from criticism.
You severely underestimate how shitty Google is. I highly doubt Mozilla would try to pull shit like Web Integrity or making their sites work worse on competitor browsers on purpose even if they were as large as Google. (Though, maybe to become as large as Google they would have to start doing this kind of shit so you might be right in some way.)
