    Stop using Chrome, it is adware at this point. Use Firefox or if that’s too different, use Brave or Edge or a different chromium offshoot that isn’t going to support manifest v3.

      Weird that you tell people not to use Chrome because it’s adware but suggest Brave which is a crypto miner.

        Brave has built-in wallet support and such, but I don’t think it does any mining, does it? It just has its own opt-in ad system to pays out in crypto and is also owned by a turd.

          I dumped Brave when it decided to install its VPN as a service without my consent. I had so much trouble ripping out all the traces of that.

            I completely forgot about that. Yeah, it’s fucked.

            Imagine if you bought a Microsoft game, say Forza, and it installed a bunch of candy crush games alongside it without asking you.

            It’s scummy as fuck.

            I use tons of software developed by people with whom I would probably disagree on politics.

            Rejecting a program because one of the developers said something you didn’t like is just childish.

        Man I just tried to throw out a Chromium fork that didn’t use Manifest v3, I didn’t realize Brave went off the deep end. Personally I use Firefox and Edge when I need to use Chromium and for work just because I find it’s dev tools nicer.
