I switched to Firefox 6 months ago as a test experiment. I literally have NO REASON to ever open chrome again. Imported my passwords and the transition was smooth as butter. And I am a stubborn turd that hates change. Firefox plus Ublock origin and superagent fixed everything wrong with the internet for me.

What gets me about this change is that it hurts enterprise more than anybody. I don't use chrome anymore for anything in my personal life, and haven't in several years now. However, it's the only browser I can use for work. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm similarly wondering about these changes getting ported to MS Edge. I have Ublock Origin on Edge on my work computer now, but if they move Edge to Manifest v3 then I guess Ublock won't work, then my work browser will be less secure.

superagent

How's that vs just enabling the built-in lists i uBO?

Does Ublock do cookie settings? I used superagent so I never see those cookie pop ups, it just declines all optional cookies.

Built-in:

AdGuard – Cookie Notices

EasyList – Cookie Notices

uBlock filters – Cookie Notices

and you can also add:

"I don't care about cookies"

please use "I still don't care about cookies", the original one has been bought by Avast, who in turn belong to Gen Digital, owner of AVG, Norton and Avira - not the most trustworthy names anymore.
