#AdBlockers will be limited to 30,000 rules … no more
They will no longer be able to update themselves daily, but only when new versions of extensions are published (which Google sometimes takes up to 3 weeks to validate)
To sum up, #AdBlocking extensions will always be late on websites, and in any case will not have enough rules to cover all sites.
Chrome näyttää keskisormea mainosestäjille ensi vuonna
Uusi selainlaajennusten rajapinta tulee käyttöön vuoden 2024 kesällä ja sen jälkeen on lähes varmaa, että esim. YouTuben mainoksia ei enää voi perinteisillä tavoilla estää Chromessa.
Ominaisuus todennäköisesti valuu sellaisenaan mukaan myös muihinkin Chromiumia käyttäviin selaimiin, eli Edge - ja jopa Brave saanevat tästä osansa.
Slowing down the extension update process is blatantly security hostile, all because the biggest ad company is throwing a temper tantrum over people daring to try and take back control of what is allowed to run on their own devices #Chrome#AdBlockers#ManifestV3
Chrome’s next weapon in the War on Ad Blockers: Slower extension updates
And so it begins (again). Good thing I haven't used Chrome in years! This will be a huge test of how much power and influence Google really has online, especially when the "enemy" they're up against is... literally everyone online.
Concerning #browsers and #manifestv3, here's your reminder that Mozilla aren't saints either, and they have been in some deep shady shit for the past handful of years.
This of course doesn't discredit any issues other browsers may have. Just do your research with credible sources, use the browser that best suits you, and don't fall into the trap of the Firefox cult which loves to ignore and downplay the problems surrounding Mozilla.
Google announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin #uBOwill be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 (#Mv3).
The new #Chrome manifest will prevent using custom filters and stops on demand updates of blocklist. Only #Google authorized updates to browser extension will be allowed in the future, which mean an automatic win for Google in their battle to stop YouTube #AdBlockers .
#ManifestV3 is deceitful and threatening to your privacy, and now is a good time to switch to #Firefox (@mozilla) and/or #TorBrowser (@torproject) if you haven't done so already!
EDIT for clarification: MV3 in Chrome will still allow some ad blocking extensions, but will severely limit their blocking ability and even restricts pre-set filters to 50 MAX.
It's approaching that time when Google is going to start enforcing Manifest v3 in Chrome so I am once again pleading with people who care about a free and open web to donate monthly to Mozilla and Thunderbird. #openweb#mozilla#googlechrome#manifestv3
Zadziwia mnie jak bardzo różni się podejście #Google i #Mozilla w kwestii wtyczek do przeglądarek. Podczas tworzenia rozszerzenia do #Chrome okazało się, że wiele internetowych poradników i porad jest nieaktualnych, ponieważ Google jakiś czas temu przestało obsługiwać #ManifestV2 (czyli taki plik tłumaczące przeglądarce jakie uprawnienia potrzebuje rozszerzenie, jak się nazywa itd.) w silniku #Chromium i należy tworzyć rozszerzenia już formacie w #ManifestV3.
Zupełnie inaczej sytuacja wygląda w przypadku #MozillaFirefox – jak tylko załadowałem wtyczkę do sklepu, pojawił się komunikat, że moja wtyczka jest oparta o Manifest V3, a zalecane jest korzystanie z Manifest V2, ponieważ starsze wersje #Firefox nie obsługują V3, gdyż jest to stosunkowo nowość
