uBlock-issues VS ungoogled-chromium

I answered the questions half way myself.The ext. gets disabled because it is manifest 2 not manifest 3. Manifest 2 will be disabled by ~mid 2025 in the Store.

Seeing: seeing https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/wiki/About-Goo...

And asking: What are the diff between manifest 2 and manifest 3 ext?

What is the problem to move to M3? And why is this a ban?

In general it involves setting ExtensionInstallForcelist, but I haven't tried it in practice yet, it's a concept..

These are the instructions for Windows from OP's reddit post: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/discussions/29...

So much more complicated.

Github URL: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock

You should look into the homepage linked from there https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock because that's were it's really from, and not some recommendation via.

Especially their Wiki, because that contains really useful information, how to handle more advanced stuff, which can't really be done 'automagically' for all sorts of websites. Maybe even their reddit also linked from the mozilla site, though I'm guessing you're not fond of the latter.

You could also consider using https://librewolf.net/ instead of Firefox, because that's built and delivered with much desired settings, while the undesired stuff is left out.

Which you'd have otherwise to setup manually, put together piece-wise from countless different places, because there is no place who has it all. By the way, they have their own redddit, too.

Which leads to less hassle with system management problems. Not to speak of being delivered with uBlock Origin out of the box.

Works really well for me, and I'm picky, because I've grown bored with systems management problems, too ;)

Methods to enforce ExtensionManifestV2Availability on Linux for Chromium (and variants) and Chrome: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/discussions/29...

If anyone is wondering why uBlock Origin is no longer available for Safari, since version 13, see:

Chromium is Chrome with "less" (but, still substantial) Google. ungoogled-chromium[1] is Chromium with no Google.

What's the best next choice if I don't want to move away from a Chrome-like experience?

(Old habits die hard)

There's https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium - is it a sound choice nowadays?

I think you want:

Without signing in to a Google Account, Chromium does pretty well in terms of security and privacy. However, Chromium still has some dependency on Google web services and binaries. In addition, Google designed Chromium to be easy and intuitive for users, which means they compromise on transparency and control of internal operations.

ungoogled-chromium addresses these issues in the following ways:

* - Remove all remaining background requests to any web services while building and running the browser*

* - Remove all code specific to Google web services*

* - Remove all uses of pre-made binaries from the source code, and replace them with user-provided alternatives when possible.*

* - Disable features that inhibit control and transparency, and add or modify features that promote them (these changes will almost always require manual activation or enabling).*

Cromite[0] is the best on Android, it's a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium.

Cromite has a desktop build, but it's a bit more experimental than the mobile build, so you can use Ungoogled Chromium[1] instead. Ungoogled is also a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium. Check the beta flags to enable some more interesting features like getClientRect anti-fingerprinting measures (unfortunately breaks some React-based sites that go into infinite re-render loop).

Both of these browsers selectively include patches from Brave, but they are community-oriented builds so imo more trustworthy than Brave, which continues to package various shady anti-features and always will because it's backed by a for-profit company.

LibreWolf[2] is the nicest Firefox-based one for desktop, I think. It's pretty hardcore, though, I most only use it to visit mainstream social media sites.

I tried a bunch of the Firefox-based ones on mobile and none of them clicked for me. Cromite is just too slick on Android. Put the address bar at the bottom and off you go. Only downside is no online syncing of tabs and bookmarks, but meh. You can save all open tabs to bookmark bar in one hit then export your bookmarks, send the file through whatever E2EE channel you want to your other device and import then reopen them again.

For those that like Chromium but want to remove any integration with Google, there's Ungoogled Chromium

If you're entirely partial to Chromium browsers, use Ungoogled Chrome https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
