I moved back to Firefox like 5 years ago. But saying the vast majority of tools don’t seem to do the trick is a pretty true statement, since that’s one browser with one app, and the browser only has a sub 10% market share.

While some paid ad blockers seem to work, the vast majority of tools don’t seem to do the trick.
What a bunch of FUD. Firefox and uBlock Origin still work on Youtube just fine.

Yeah but uBlock Origin still works on Chrome too

Why did you move away from firefox in the first place?
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
For a little while, a long time agoit was Firefox that had gotten slow and bloated, while Chrome was not. Then, things changed again.

I moved away a few years ago for the illusion of more privacy, while still using Google on Firefox

Maybe they mean the vast majority of tools on Edge and Chrome?

uBlock still works on chrome.
Aatube@kbin.social 11 months ago
It's not on and can't be on Manifest v3 which Chrome will later only support

I don’t know about FUD, but that’s either straight-up disinformation, or an out-of-touch tech writer that needs to retire…

uBO works on Chrome as well atm. I have to use Chrome on my work laptop, but at least they installed uBO.

Part of the reason I am not advocating for or against the extension or the source. People can judge for themselves. I thought it was funny (not a great idea but defined an interesting implementation). For the record I use both unlock origin and Firefox, and I also run a pihole at home. I’m just putting out there that it exists.
