Google Chrome’s plan to limit ad blocking extensions kicks off next week

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.

For work, I use Chrome, but only because Firefox's profile management is (more or less) nonexistent. Once they have that, which I understand isn't too far out, I'm ditching Chrome entirely.

Have you thought about installing a Firefox fork? On my Work PC I use Firefox for work and Floorp for personal browsing.

What's this, you say? Floorp? Sounds like you're setting me up for a Futurama joke, or something.

I'll see what's up, as long as it doesn't require admin rights.
