  • I said these browsers currently allow installing MV2 extensions; I didn't predict about the future. Ok, ungoogled chromium will remove the flag in the future, and it can also affect helium. But it's in the future; currently that flag is still there.

    Brave is sued for its shady practices, ok! But we are talking about the installation of Manifest V2 extensions in the Chromium-based browsers, which the title explicitly says Firefox is the only browser that now allows you to install ublock origin, which is misleading. Brave still supports ublock origin, no matter if someone hates the browser or someone found it self-hosted.

    So what do you guys find bad about me mentioning Brave? Also please mention a word: I'm saying these browsers are going to support MV2 extensions (ublock origin) forever.

  • Brave, Ungoogled Chromium, and Helium all still support uBlock Origin.

  • Advertisements with random buttons that download malicious files into your system redirect you to phishing sites.

  • Nothing is perfect, though. We always have to keep one Chromium browser as a backup when Firefox faces compatibility issues on many websites. You can choose from many, including ungoogled Chromium, Brave, Helium, etc., which respect privacy.

    Also, there is an extension called 'Chrome Mask' in Firefox which helps most of the time.

    At least Firefox has a disable AI switch, while many other browsers are just forcing it.

    It was all about control. Google the advertising company awakes.

  • We have Ray-Ban glasses.

  • Somewhat disturbing…

  • Along with facial recognition they must ask us to upload some proofs to prove we are humans.

    The truth is, they already have all of our data.
