What a bunch of FUD. Firefox and uBlock Origin still work on Youtube just fine.
Part of the reason I am not advocating for or against the extension or the source. People can judge for themselves. I thought it was funny (not a great idea but definitely an interesting implementation). For the record I use both unlock origin and Firefox, and I also run a pihole at home. I'm just putting out there that it exists.
I moved back to Firefox like 5 years ago. But saying the vast majority of tools don't seem to do the trick is a pretty true statement, since that's one browser with one app, and the browser only has a sub 10% market share.
Yeah but uBlock Origin still works on Chrome too
It amazes me that ublock is still available for crome. Edit:*crome
For crime?
*crome
(for now)
It will stop working soon
Why did you move away from firefox in the first place?
For a little while, a long time agoit was Firefox that had gotten slow and bloated, while Chrome was not. Then, things changed again.
I moved away a few years ago for the illusion of more privacy, while still using Google on Firefox
Maybe they mean the vast majority of tools on Edge and Chrome? Plus this approach may or may not preserve dollars for creators
uBlock still works on chrome.
It's not on and can't be on Manifest v3 which Chrome will later only support
I don't know about FUD, but that's either straight-up disinformation, or an out-of-touch tech writer that needs to retire...
uBO works on Chrome as well atm. I have to use Chrome on my work laptop, but at least they installed uBO.
