Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled
Google Chrome is now encouraging uBlock Origin users who have updated to the latest version to switch to other ad blockers before Manifest v2 extensions are disabled.
Recently, Mozilla rolled out a shopping checking extension that only works on big monopolies like Walmart and Amazon, and has been criticized by small businesses for being unfair against their products.
The Mozilla subsidiary behind this, FakeSpot, also sells private user data to advertiser companies.
So I can definitely understand why you might run away from a company that’s not honest about promoting an open and free web when it’s pushing the monopolies with their tools.
