Google Chrome’s plan to limit ad blocking extensions kicks off next week (arstechnica.com)

Reminder to switch browsers if you haven't already!

Google Chrome is starting to phase out older, more capable ad blocking extensions in favor of the more limited Manifest V3 system.
The Manifest V3 system has been criticized by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation for restricting the capabilities of web extensions.
Google has made concessions to Manifest V3, but limitations on content filtering remain a source of skepticism and concern.

Is that only for Chrome or all Chromium-based browsers?

First one, then the others eventually.

Just use Firefox :)

I've used Firefox since before it was called Firefox, but just last week I hit two instances where stuff I required for work required Chrome :(

Stuff you need for work don't usually need any ad blocking to start with so that would be good enough.

Still feels bad that I need it to be installed, and more stuff in the future could require it. They were major sites that my business works with and does not own

They don’t get money from installs. Just ads and google products usage.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

If anything, only using it for sites that won't generate ad revenue costs them money.
