Microsoft is now in the process of turning off Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge, such as uBlock Origin. However, not everything is lost at this point.

    what a fucked timeline

    browsers turning off specific extensions which protect us.

    they shouldn’t even have a horse in this race. i mean we know why they do, but damn is it completely insane.

    what’s also fucked is how normalised this is becoming.

    all of that said, edge who?

    Anyone stupid enough to be using edge on purpose deserves what they get at this point.

        Y’know, it really takes the fun out of my overly broad and unnecessarily spiteful pronouncements when you force me to contemplate real stuff like that.

          Ungoogled Chromium exists. I wonder if it’d possible to do a version of Chomium that has the benefits of Edge without the downsides.

          I realize MS would still be tracking, but it’d be all work stuff, so I’m less concerned about it.
