i finally see the end for the first time lol
ty :)
I don't get it, the timeline has been known since 2021 and has not changed. We are in the middle of the phase-out. All of this is really predictable.
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/mv2-deprecation-timeline
Actually, as someone whose company has been working on updating extensions from MV2 to MV3 for the past four years, the timeline has changed. A couple of times, I think. Originally, MV2 was supposed to be entirely deprecated by the beginning of this year, but they've pushed it back twice and extended enterprise support even further.
You are right, my bad, last change seems to be a year ago.
It isn't? I just read that the "Chrome MV2 deprecation enterprise rollout" is in June 2025. When is the exact date for the end v2 support? "The changes will be rolled out over the coming months to Chrome Stable, with the goal of completing the transition by the beginning of next year." is not "predictable". It can be any time between 2024 November to 2025 April, maybe even May.
Imagine giving that kind of a time to friend "yeah, I'll show up probably at the beginning of 2025, but that's the plan, it may be all the way until June 2025". Very "predictable".
It's really standard to leave some time for users to adapt when making a big change. Especially end users. It's actually a good thing, the "friend showing up" analogy makes no sense.
End of support for users is June 2024.
But it did seem to have changed a year ago or so, my bad.
The longer they put it off, the more unnoticed it will go when they finally do it.
Exactly, every time it's close the roar against it gets quieter. They're banking on that
Didn’t uBlock origin just stop working with Chrome?
Still working for me
I don't know, maybe
So, you post this after the one blocker that worked stops working, and then you didn't notice?
Because we use Firefox or one oft its forks.
DNS blocker + browser built-in adblocker (+ system-wide AdGuard). Be my guest.
Any browsers with good built-in adblocker besides brave? I feel like firefox's built-in content filtering does the very minimum, but I might be wrong
system-wide AdGuard
This is the way on mobile lol. The android rom I'm using comes with a built-in systemwide blocker, which I didn't know about for a very long time, so I was very confused when I saw other people using the same apps as me and seeing ads lol.
Firefox+uBlock Origin
Firefox Mobile supports most desktop extensions now, so Ublock Origin works too

To my knowledge there are no browsers that have anything similar to brave built in. Ublock simply is incredibly well made (that’s what braves adblocker is based on), so I would always try to use that. Gnome web has in my experience the best built in Adblock except brave (fine for everything but YouTube). AFAIK Firefox forks can change what the built in content filter blocks, at least on librewolf some ads were missing even with ublock disabled.
Give it two more years and brave will stop backporting manifestv2, then you have even less options to avoid google deciding which content needs to be shoved in your face.
I'm using Firefox since forever. In the past I have checked a few times if a swap to chromium is worth it. It never was.
I really don't understand people that prefer Google over Mozilla. Firefox works like a charm and Google already knows enough about us IMHO.
Brave shields are based on ubo, but are patched directly into chromium so they should be immune against v3. Still going to stay on Firefox, but brave is a decent backup option. https://brave.com/blog/brave-shields-manifest-v3/
LibreWolf ? First thing that came up when searching for a non-chrome browser with builtin adblocker.

I'm not really sure why I expected here but I was satisfied anyway
Expected a Rickroll; was disappointed.
But if the extension is removed from the store you will not get updates.
Good thing you can add extensions from places other than the store.
But uBlock Origin does not set update_url in it's manifest.json so it won't update automatically. You'd have to do it manually every time.
Oh no, I guess it's impossible for that to ever change.
It's a good thing to be able to communicate without sarcasms when it's not called for.
But I don't think it'll change, feel free to try and make a PR but you'll also need to setup a server to host the releases and update.xml.
