Comment on Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout

  In the past 10 years it’s pretty much just been Firefox, Safari, Explorer/Edge, and Chrome. 99% of browsers are just skinned Chrome. Even Edge now. Opera’s engine died in 2013.

    99% if browsers are just skinned Chrome.

    Yup. Hence, the reason I originally suggested to use Firefox, only because it’s not built on Chromium.

      Just FYI, the word “hence” literally means “for this reason”. So you just said “for this reason the reason” lol.

    Chrome uses WebKit, safaris engine.

      Chrome forked Webkit in 2012 to create Blink. It is reasonable to assume they have somewhat diverged since.

      They’re developed separately. It’s a hard fork to I consider them different.

        That’s also hugely in part because Apple develops Webkit at a snails pace. Some say they gimp their own rendring engine so that it isn’t competitive with native applications from the App Store. This way, there’s less incentive for developers to make web-apps to avoid the 30% app store tax.

        Man I haven’t been around that long but I feel like some of my knowledge is outdated and I have to start with “a long time ago in a galaxy far far away” because I stopped paying attention

    I know… Jurassic Park is 33 years this year. It would be like watching a movie from the 60’ when it was released.

    We’re old, friend.

    It doesn’t sound right but it is. I think in ‘94 I was using Juno for email and internet. Shortly after that it was time to actually use one of the many AOL trial discs for service instead of a mini frisbee/ninja star.

    Modem sounds, chat rooms, you’ve got mail. What a time to live!

      Fuck. I got free internet for almost 5 years. So many AOL discs. 01, 02? Friend’s dad had a T1 connection put into their house for his work. The difference between T1 and the 56k I had at home? At home walk out the room, have a smoke, maybe ⅔ a boob loaded. At buddy’s house, that’s when I realised that the internet had the potential to change everything. Whole boob before you could even stand up.

      Kids these days. No appreciation for how much struggle it used to be. Everything just. Just there. No bork the only computer in the house because boob.exe.

  I use Palemoon for the nostalgia but also because of the best theme around, Moonscape

  Mosaic was awesome. Netscape 1 was pretty cool, but Netscape 2 and animated gifs… zowie! That was a day to remember.
