When will the planned changes to the Chrome API actually roll out to the public?
They'll be rolled out with Manifest V3 which as of last week was "still very much in development" https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msg/chromium-exte...

#12Just read Microsoft will allow ad blocker extensions (May build one in) in their new Chromium browser. Looks like I’m going to rewind 13 years and use IE again(IE of today). Such a stupid move by the do no evil company! Now they do no stupid too. EDIT: Here is link... https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2019/06/16/micr...
Do you have a link to that?
My only issue is that chrome is great bec I can have multiple profiles on the same windows user account, but that’s kinda anathema to the paradigm of how Microsoft wants us to use Edge.
I use chrome profiles the same way ppl use Firefox containers, my only hope is that edge builds something similar.
I’ve also been using Vivaldi, I love it but I’m worried about using duh a small project that is still dependent on chromium.

I've been running it on the Edge Chromium Dev build for a few weeks now, works great!

Link?
there was a reddit ama where someone asked about adblockers and they said:
"we occasionally hear requests for a built in ad blocking experiences in Edge. For most users, we find that extensions (combined with strong defaults around tracking prevention) are the best option here because you can choose from a variety of experiences and defaults, but we absolutely want to hear from you if you think this should be built in."

#18If you already have it do you need to manually install the new version?
It was updated automatically for me, both on Firefox desktop and Firefox for Android.
Still stuck on the previous version. The store shows 1.20, but even switching to "developer mode" in the Chrome extension overview and clicking on "Update" (button) and restarting the browser had no effect. Still the old version.

Google has every incentive to believe ads and user surveillance is not evil
Agreed. The problem with a mission statement like “do no evil” is that in today’s pluralistic world (especially in the west), there’s no generally agreed-upon definition of evil.
Philosophically, defining “evil” requires defining “good” first, and a definition of “good” depends entirely on one’s notions of origin, meaning, morality, and destiny — one’s worldview.
In google’s case, it’s probably better business to simply remove the motto than to risk offending large groups of people in the quest for philosophical rigor.

Try also Brave. It is fully open source and based on Chromium.
