Chrome-Developer-Mode-Extension-Warning-Patcher VS metamask-extension

You can use a dll patcher like https://github.com/Ceiridge/Chrome-Developer-Mode-Extension-Warning-Patcher to re-enable webRequestBlocking extension API for Manifest V3 extensions on Chromium browsers

I'm surprised that this exception exists, and without an end date. Perversely, because they refuse to allow blocking webrequest even for local testing, anyone trying to use it to build one of those force-installed extensions has to resort to measures like hot-patching the browser at runtime, which, conveniently, also allows consumers to bypass this restriction anyway.

The blocking webRequest API will supposedly remain available in Brave and Vivaldi even once they move to MV3. In addition, it will be available in Chrome for anyone using https://github.com/Ceiridge/Chrome-Developer-Mode-Extension-Warning-Patcher though they will have to download the unpacked extension (or possibly crx) themselves.

Here's an interesting thread I found: https://github.com/Ceiridge/Chrome-Developer-Mode-Extension-Warning-Patcher/issues/21

Chrome will apparently continue to support blocking webRequest for enterprise extensions. Presumably this Chrome patcher could be modified to make it work with all extensions though you would have to get them from elsewhere such as Opera's addon site (or Brave, if they come up with their own).

in the meantime, this works really well for me

Have an Ethereum wallet, preferably Metamask installed.

A  Metamask Account.

Plenty of projects are source-available, but not open source, and get tons of issues, and even contributions (https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension off the top of my head)

You can create an attestation based on an existing schema or create your own. Schemas define the format in which attestations will be made, and in this case, we will use the Is Human schema to attest that the owner of a certain address is human. For this example, you only need to connect your Metamask wallet (or any wallet) to Scroll Sepolia, then enter the address you want to attest and click Make attestation. You can choose whether you want the off-chain attestation, i.e., free, obtained only by signing a transaction. Alternatively, you can choose to make it on-chain and pay for the transaction to make it public and connect it to smart contract logic. In this case, you will need to obtain funds in Scroll Sepolia through a Scroll Sepolia Faucet.

For this tutorial you will need Metamask or other wallet of your choice, with Scroll Sepolia funds that you can get from a Sepolia faucet and then bridge them to L2 using the Scroll Sepolia bridge. Alternatively, you can use a Scroll Sepolia Faucet to get funds directly on L2.

16) Open Metamask app. In this instruction we will use Metamask extension for Chrome browser.

> I get a 3-5 sec lag on launch [0] as it prepares the browser to block ads.

uBO is typically ready in a fraction of second, so "3-5 sec" is not normal. In Firefox all extensions sit in the same process, so it's possible another extension is preventing uBO to be ready in a timely manner, this has happened[1].
