I wish they offered a paid version of the browser that would have ublock enabled.

#112Give me decent multi-profile support in firefox and I won't need a chromium browser anymore
Have you looked into Firefox Multi-Account Containers[1]? It met all my needs for multiple profiles. I use it to have multiple concurrent sessions for different sites (eg: one AWS account/role per container). [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...

Where I work we are required to have 2-3 Microsoft accounts for security separation. Account containers makes it possible to interact with virtually unlimited profiles all in the same browser window. No need for in-private browsing or multiple widows of chrome or edge, it just works. When you have it configured just right it's a thing of beauty.

#113Google is really an awful company at this point. We need to build some viable competitor to the anchors they still have. Firefox and Brave are fine as chrome alternatives. Google search is dying a slow death. We need a viable alternative to YouTube. I dread Google getting a new lease on life through Waymo.
I just paid for a subscription
to phind.com it is extremely useful for most of my search needs. I don't use Google search at all
I also have been using Edge as my main browser in Linux (it's vertical tabs have no match for my usecase) .

Why do you think this would happen? Brave incorporates ublock as part of their Rust based adblocking library https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust
Because eventually there will be enough changes to the upstream Chromium codebase that the only way to keep these extensions working would be to stop following upstream, which would mean massively increased development costs.
Chrome is going to continue supporting v2 extensions for enterprise users, so presumably it'll be pretty trivial to keep support for everyone else.

#115What's a good alternative Blink or Webkit browser? Meaning not Firefox (too many issues in my experience, and built-in ads are annoying, and I don't trust Mozilla).

#116Brave still works with the older plugins.

#119Given that Brave is chrome-based, and Brave won't stand for ad-blockers being disabled, I wonder what they're planning. I do find uBlock Origin to be better than Brave's built-in blocker.
I expect they'll adopt Manifest v3, and it'll mean the end of UBo, but they'll still have their own built in adblocker working. They'll just need to maintain that and where it fits in with the Chrome codebase.
On Twitter they claimed they are still supporting v2.

Where to? Sadly I'm on Windows and there are no more options that I can see. So it will be dual boot again in the future I guess + Ladybird.
I have ADHD and I cannot use a product if there is ads. In any form they exist in, they take up time, energy, and attention, all of which I have precious little of compared to the average person. Ensuring I still have PiHole or NextDNS to block ads at a DNS level, I'd use Safari with any adblock extension. Failing that, I'd browse the compatible web with a TUI browse in terminal. Failing that I'm reading books and ta…
I'm a screen reader user. It's similar for me, accept if I really wanted to navigate around the ads I suppose i could. However i do have chronic migraines, so that reduces my ability to care about ads. Or X embeds, Or facebook sharing widgets. So no, it isn't just an ad thing, it's a let's not take a whole bunch of energy to navigate a page thing.
