Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow (www.neowin.net)

For a while now the transition away from Manifest V2 (MV2) to MV3 has been on-going and it looks like it is entering its final phase of deprecation, at least, in the case of Google Chrome. A recent discussion thread in the w3c WebExtensions Community Group GitHub repo has highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions.

What this essentially means is that the tricks and bypasses that were used to keep MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin and others alive will not work any more on Chrome, or at least not for very long. For example the Windows Registry mod that could extend MV2 availability will cease to function after Chromium version 151.

For real though. I had the thought earlier today of how I could reduce my internet usage to text only and try and skip all the bullshit. Might be tough but I'm not seeing another way. At least I'd still be able to access things like Wikipedia.

Between AI killing the idea of "believe what you can see" and ads/tracking being forced on every part of the internet, the end is very, very near.

And it should upset everyone, because the internet was not designed for this. We (the people) ultimately paid to develop what is being taken over by corpos for profit.

If not corporations' benefit, then whose?

Links2 is not as funny to use, but it is easier to understand. It supports a graphical interface and images. I use it from time to time and it's nice when you know what you are looking for...

I used them cause my PC had 384 MB of RAM in 2012. It was ok for everything but surfing the web and lynx solved the issue.

If you are looking for something for the phone, i once used Vivaldi.
