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.

Are they going to do this on Edge? Please don't judge me. I love the "Continue on Mobile" feature.

Firefox has this feature too, just saying

Firefox not only let's you view tabs from your PC on your phone, it let's you install extensions (like ublock origin) on the mobile browser

not the ios app unfortunately, due to webkit

I don't think of apple browsers as anything other than flavored safari, so I forget to count that as firefox

I overall love Edge. But when the ads come running, I'll have to switch :/
