I have no sympathy for GAFAM, nor for Mozilla.
About fucking time. I’m just sick of the “news” about X. Hopefully it disappears for good.
I mean, they don’t tell you which part of ToS you violated because you may come up with some way to circumvent it.
They do this on purpose, to avoid workarounds.
Because they prefer to use something else.
In the case of Brave (or Vivaldi, to a certain extent) it doesn’t matter too much, as it has a very capable built-in adblocker. It’s not an extension, so it is not going to be weakened by MV3.
The need for latex, in 1999.
Yawn… Any technical point?
Cool. Just block me and get rid of my not so good posts.
“Firefox is a browser, not an ad measurement tool. What would they sneakily introduce an OPT-OUT ad efficacy measurement tool”?
People would really do anything to justify Mozilla’s bullshit.
thats fucking stupid
Thanks, I respect you too.
I’ts been 3 years since I last used uBO and I have still to see a single ad on my browser. But you do you.
Brave is based on Chromium, so where Chrome goes, Brave is likely to follow.
To follow what? Brave’s adblocker is not an extension and it is not affected by MV3. And it has most of uBO’s features. More than I have ever used on uBO anyway.
Everybody knows that Chrome, the only browser made by Google, has a built-in adblocker. /s
Being called names just for stating the obvious. Typical lemmy.
It’s not my fault if Mozilla won’t bother implementing a decent adblocker and have to rely on an external unpaid developer to keep FF afloat.
Firefox doesn’t have a proper adblocker. It’s just a tracker blocker.
Or they just have differente priorities and preferences, you know. THe same reason they use Linux instead of $SOMEOTHEROS.
No, Vivaldi, Brave and Opera have builtin adblockers which don’t depend on the extensions manifest. Plus, one could always rely on AdGuard, which whould block ads system wide.
Nope, blocklist can be updates dynamically.
You don’t need extensions when you have capable inbuilt adblockers. Stop fear mongering.
Same. The adblocker in Brave is great, its been ages since I ditched uBo and I’ve still to see a single ad. Built-in adblockers are good, because Google has no power there. Firefox, instead, its still a thing exclusively because of uBO i.e., the work of an external, unpaid developer. The say uBO disappears, is the day FF dies. Mozilla is so busy wasting time and money on unrelated stuff and huge CEO paychechs that they have had no the time to add and inbuilt advlocker to FF, which instead has useless crap such as Pockets and an opt-out ad-measurement tool which nobody asked for.
Shit! What a pity not using Google Search App (nor Google altogether). I’ve not been part of this historical moment. /s
