That’s fine, i stopped using Chrome at least 5 bad google decisions ago.
Just use Librewolf.
posts a link directly to an extension that is still available, says its not available.
The only reason they can so this is their near monopoly on the browser market.
I remember when Chrome was launched, there was a lot of hype around it, everybody talked about how good and fast it was, I downloaded it, tested it and uninstalled it in 15 min, I didn’t like the UI, and didn’t see the speed advantage everyone was talking about.
To be fair (I’m also old enough to remember and even still have screenshots of OG chrome on my desktop) –
Chrome at the time was stupid fast. Like yes we had Firefox, but it was still the era where most people still clicked on the blue “e” and used Internet Explorer. I myself switched from Firefox when there was core feature parity.
OG Chrome was [comparatively] lean and dumb-fast. But you know, enshittification and feature creep. I also think that Google has changed as a company as time has passed, mostly due to new leadership (e.g. Sundar Pichai).
Good night, sweet prince.
Thank you Mario, but our prince is in another castle!
That is expected. We’ve had a lot of warning at this point.
Last I read, it was still available on Edge if you must use a Chromium browser. I’m using Firefox, so I can’t/won’t bother confirming that is still the case.
This is great news for Mozilla
Ublock and ublock origin lite are still available.
Is regular uBlock made by the same guy? I think there was a situation with ublock or something that resulted in origin being made or something like that. I’m not sure if the regular ublock is a good project
basically gorhill forked his own project into ‘ublock origin’ and gave the original ‘ublock’ to someone else.
the original kinda fizzled out after that person tried to solicit donations. ‘ublock’ was then sold to ‘adblock’ and restarted-sorta.
a few years later, eyeo (known for ‘adblockplus’) bought ‘adblock’ (and with it, what became of the original ‘ublock’).
ublock origin lite is gorhill’s mv3 version of ubo with some reduced functionality to operate within the new restrictions placed on addons by google–just one step in the process to eventually kill off adblockers completely for chrome and chromium-based browsers.
That is a good question, i didnt know about that. I do know that lite is from the same creator
Ublock (at ublock.org) is not the same as uBlock Origin or uBlock Lite. You want uBlock Origin as the safe one that respects your privacy and does what it says on the tin.
