Out of curiosity - have you tried any of the fully Mv3 compatible adblockers yet?

I’m not using any chrome browsers.

and… it just works. Still blocks ads as well as uBlock ever did.

so your benchmark is what you see? that’s far too little in my opinion. I want to block tracking more than ads. but Mv3 blockers don’t have the capabilities for that anymore. Mv3 is useless for that, google knows full well what they have done.

I can’t find them now, but I saw some articles saying that actually Mv3 offers some new tools that help achieve adblock goals easier than Mv2 allowed.

I highly doubt there’s any truth in that. Mv2 blockers can do whatever they want with any asset that gets loaded.
ok, no, there’s an exception. on chrome, Mv2 blockers could not filter traffic at browser startup (when previous tabs are automatically loaded), but that’s a chrome defect and this was not an issue on Firefox for a very long time (if ever)

some wiki article s from the developer:

• https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/About-Google-Chrome’s-“This-extension-may-soon-no-longer-be-supported”
• https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions-(FAQ)

all up to date chromium browsers support Mv3.

if you meant Mv2, I doubt they will be able to keep up with the support for long. for now it’s very easy, because all the code is still there in the engine (recently you could still reenable it even in google chrome), but once chromium starts to refactor code, to make it simpler or more modern, those changes will not be done with kerping Mv2 support in mind, and fork devs will have an increasingly harder time to patch back support for it (safely!) as time goes on.

panic about the change from Mv2 to Mv3, and also a lot of misinformation. It’s correct that Mv3 adblocker are somewhat less effective (independent tests don’t show much difference, but in change offer a way better security).

what do those test measure? only what is visible, that is percentage of ads hidden? or does it take into account all the tracking shit regular ublock origin can thwart? I don’t buy that it’s “somewhat” less effective, and neither that it is more secure.

Mv2 will disappear sooner or later,

that’s not a problem with browsers like firefox, where the webrequest api was kept for Mv3.

Only problem exist for uBO,

there are plenty of other addons that make use of the webrequest API, they are just not so well known that half of the average desktop users know it. those are affected too.

due to it’s specific structure need to be practically remade from scratch to be compatible with Mv3,

that’s false. ublock simply cannot do lots of things with Mv3 that it can with Mv2. lite is lite for a reason, and not because in short time thats all he could put together.

then your quote just brings up google propaganda. restrictions of useful features are dressed up as “security”, just like google does it again but now with android with a different approach.

I was answering forking and how realistic it is. You’re changing the conversation into specifics around chrome.

I’m not changing anything. they are powerless. if google decides to change chrome for the worse in a more significant way than UI design, they cannot avoid accepting that change.

and what can they do against the manifest v3 migration? they cannot afford to keep maintaining the code for mv2 addons. it is an important topic for efficient content blocking.

its funny you bring up edge as an alternative. brave too has opt-out telemetry and other shenanigans.

the “supposedly” fascist guy: has an opinion wants to get rid of people not like him and who did not do any wrong

So when they do just fork it?

say the same for chrome, and think again if you mean it seriously.

I’m pretty sure the law already said that the reject button cannot be more convoluted to access than the accept button, corporate websites just couldn’t care less

You said all bugs are there since day one,

I’m a different person

I meant over the lifetime after its first launch, they will updated.

that’s right, but after the phone does not get any more updates, it does not get more features either and so the number of bugs does not change anymore. the bugs exploitable in my 6 years old phone were exploitable much earlier.

But I see you think that old operating systems (which is extremely rich and complicated and error prone) which do no longer get patches and are used by millions, are perfect software and nobody will try to hack them…

I do not. the bugs are there, but when the maintenance stops there are no new bugs anymore, they were there for a while

Software gets updated and they will introduce new security issues over time.

well the software of those phones certainly did not get updated, so no, no new security bugs are introduced for them

yeah. I wouldn’t expect that opt out to be honored. maybe by your provider, but not by zoom.

that’s plausible. in my opinion a therapist should take the effort to take their own interpretation of what has been said, instead of relying on a machine that digests the system in a uniform way. words of a patient can mean a lot of things, even depending on things like their body language. but I have to admit I’m even more concerned about the privacy consequences which you pointed out. that’s like, it simply can’t go unabused in my opinion. too tempting. I wouldn’t even want to run a business that just stores it without abuse, it’s too risky too.

are you kidding? only available for google phones. are we supposed to give money to google for this situation?

app manager can already work as an app installer, but it needs wireless debugging enabled which can be a security risk. and you have to install app manager too somehow.

in your opinion what advantage would AI give to experienced therapists?

one can only hope it has any meaning. what platform do they use for online applications appointments? zoom? ms teams? google meet?

You need to verify age for all these services already, if you offer those.

half of the given examples the cashier can just look at you if you are noticeably older than the age limit, but even when they want your ID they will just look at it with their eyes, not scanning it with a computer that cannot be verified right then and there what its doing

you don’t have to. just run dnf upgrade and accept the risks, it will work just the same as before.
