Reminder to switch browsers if you haven't already!

  • Google Chrome is starting to phase out older, more capable ad blocking extensions in favor of the more limited Manifest V3 system.
  • The Manifest V3 system has been criticized by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation for restricting the capabilities of web extensions.
  • Google has made concessions to Manifest V3, but limitations on content filtering remain a source of skepticism and concern.

I'd be glad to switch back to Firefox, but websites straight up don't work on it anymore. That was the only reason I went to Chrome.

What websites? I use Firefox as my daily driver on desktop and mobile, and I rarely run into problems. Like so infrequently that I don't even remember the last time.

Some websites display warnings even though everything works fine, like web.skype.com. But that's the closest thing to doesn't work I've ever seen on Firefox.
