Google is going to release new manifest v3. How could it harm uBlock Origin? And will Firefox and Safari become the only major browsers that fully support uBlock Origin?

    Mozilla is a sketchy company that pays their CEO as much as they get in yearly donations then act like they’re the good underdog guys that survive off of those donations.

    They have giant cash reserves that they refuse to use to make Gecko safer. They pay several senior engineers salaries’ worth of money to political organisations instead.

    They’re just not as successful as Google at being trash.

      I mean if you can name an alternative that isn’t dogshit, go for it. Sadly, web engines are ridiculously complex pieces of software to build, much less build well, and until something comes along that doesn’t rely on Chromium or Mozilla or WebKit in general, we’re forever going to be someone’s bitch.

      Although maybe your point is just that we need to stop pretending there are any good guy players in this bullshit game, in which case, i agree.

        That was my point, yes.
