This means, among other things, that uBlock Origin is about to be disabled in Chrome. Google will choose a different extension to recommend but it can not be as effective as #uBlock Origin.
Following #Google's example, may I instead recommend you switch to #Firefox.
Firefox will continue to support Manifest v2, and consequently uBlock Origin and other extensions that can not be implemented with Manifest v3.
Ugh. Am I the only one who finds it kind of creepy when she just looks out the window and says "What neighborhood am I in right now?" and Google's cyberstalker tells her exactly where she is?
@arstechnica Essentially, web will be replaced by #google question box.
As this experience is not based on index per se, and not on a results of search from that index, projects like #Kagi will have a difficult times - either by loss of access to public search "AP|", or by absence of such results list as a thing.
As other search providers will follow the suit, it may require to run #YaCy or other similar software just to get classic search experience based on search results list.
@arstechnica Perhaps they are better off spending their resources and developing search, pixel phones, G suite, licensing and Android OS to other OEMs. Aren’t these the services that are consistently being updated? Stick to what they have always been best at #google
#Google announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin #uBO will be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 (#Mv3).
I wrote this blog post to inform the people I know who aren't as tech savvy or otherwise don't put any thought into their choice of browser. Another goal is to help get enough awareness on the topic and make sure it fails.
