Google Chrome users with the uBlock Origin extension installed started noticing that the browser flagged the extension as "soon to be unsupported." Here is why this happens and what to do with it.

      I’ve been using LibreWolf on Desktop and Mull on Android. Basically more securely configured versions of Firefox with the proprietary telemetry and some other stuff removed. Takes some tweaking to get certain websites to work that need more access than they should or use Certificate Authorities that don’t have working OSCP servers.

      If any site doesn’t work you can try this official addon Chrome Mask. If it works with it on you can report it Mozilla.

        I"m going to try that extension to see if it helps with a couple of websites. So thanks for the recommendation!

        Thanks for sharing the extension! I just got some passkeys and they just weren’t working on several websites for Firefox (looking at you Azure) but that solved the issue immediately!

          Be sure to report a bug to Mozilla regarding those pages!

        Ah yes, the browser that monetizers based on activity tracking. The one based on chromium, handing Google further control over web standards. The browser with a a mysterious nearly unlimited budget for advertising before they even had a handful of users. That browser.

          I don’t like or use brave for multiple reasons but why is the fact that it’s built on chromium a problem?

            Because every browser is becoming 3 chromes in a trench coat.

            Long term this will be an issue.

            They are doing what Apple has done to browsers on iPhones. It’s all safari all the way down… lol

              Ironically, Apple forcing Safari on iPhones is the single greatest thing standing between Chromium and total market domination.

              Not that it’s a good thing for Apple users, but it’s the one remaining reason not to slap a “Not on Chromium? Don’t bother visiting” sign on every website. Us Firefox users don’t matter, statistically speaking

            Vivaldi does have it’s own built in adblocker. You can add sources. It’s not as robust at uBO, but than nothing

            Floorp is an excellent browser. I mainly use it for the first class vertical tab support, but it’s ability to pin websites to open in a sidebar is great. I use it for stuff like Proton mail and drive.

            I will say in case anyone here saw it in the past, it had a bit of drama around the author making part of it closed source, but that was fortunately resolved before it was ever released with any proprietary code.

              This link works for me but the previous has the same broken link. I’m using the Sync android client. ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

              The 1st opens a link to the wiki page: Chromium (web browser

              Missing the ending ) for me
