You are right, my bad, last change seems to be a year ago.

But uBlock Origin does not set update_url
in it’s manifest.json
so it won’t update automatically. You’d have to do it manually every time.
It’s really standard to leave some time for users to adapt when making a big change. Especially end users. It’s actually a good thing, the “friend showing up” analogy makes no sense.
End of support for users is June 2024.
But it did seem to have changed a year ago or so, my bad.
But if the extension is removed from the store you will not get updates.
I don’t get it, the timeline has been known since 2021 and has not changed. We are in the middle of the phase-out. All of this is really predictable.

How do you know?
That’s not fair, I want to downvote you now.
Why should testing be done over some allegation by an organization that’s not recognized by the IOC?
The fork was 11 years ago, so a lot. So much that they are considered different engines now.
That’s weird, something is definitely wrong. Are they set up in a similar way? The first thing that comes to my mind is: Are you using the same DNS server on both? Differences in DNS response time should be more noticeable than rendering time on most hardware. And I think Firefox doesn’t use the system DNS by default but I might be wrong. Do you mind checking? I’m curious now.
Have you tried Tree Style Tab or Sidebery?
You are right, I should have been more specific. He’s openly homophobic. I’m also pretty sure that’s not the case for Mozilla as he was Mozilla’s CEO and was pushed out over this specific thing.
I don’t know why you are shifting from CEO to employees.
How is this better as a protection against tracking? You are still making requests to trackers, this is so easy to counter, make multiple tracking requests, filter out want changes, keep what’s the same and you have some tracking data.
Click fraud is a big thing, with lots of counter measures, I don’t see how they could go past them as they are saying themselves that they have a very naive approach. To me it’s useless at best, but more probably counterproductive.
I don’t think the commenter you are replying to is arguing that chrome is a better choice. He or she knows it’s bad but didn’t make the change out of lazyness (no offence). Change has a cost, especially if it implies changing habits. So people will just delay or avoid them.
Regulations, like the Digital Market Act, are also a big factor.
There are actually no alternative browser on iOS. Before the European Digital Market Act all iOS browser have to use webkit, so while you could install Firefox, Chrome and others, they were actually using Safari’s rendering engine. I believe that’s where a lot of the limitations come from. Now with the DMA Firefox could use it’s own rendering engine but this hasn’t landed yet. I don’t know if any other browser has switched from webkit yet.
No one is saying Chrome is the ethical choice, why are you reducing this to a 2 options choice?
It’s a good thing to be able to communicate without sarcasms when it’s not called for.
But I don’t think it’ll change, feel free to try and make a PR but you’ll also need to setup a server to host the releases and
update.xml
.
