Google proposes changes to Chromium which would disable uBlock Origin

Who could have foreseen that an ad company wouldn't like ad blockers

I think the best thing people can really do for now is to get the word out to extension developers and browser developers (especially Google) that the proposed APIs and manifest should not be restricted to such an extent and that users should retain enough freedom and capabilities to easily control what to do with extensions and requests within their browser.Once the v3 proposal is set in stone and implemented it will be too late of a surprise for the majority of unaware extension users who will notice a shifting of how and what ads/trackers/requests get blocked and it will be near impossible to rollback the changes as the browser market leader has a low incentive to do so.I don't want to sound too dramatic but the implementation of the v3 proposal as it is right now could be the beginning of something that will have wider implications on the web and users' ability to decide how they can browse it.Due to Google's position of power on the web and influence on websites it will almost certainly affect more than just Chromium/Chrome users.

Will popular ad-blocking subscription include versions with cosmetic filters only? Will privacy/security-oriented Chromium forks spread once a future Chromium version is announced for the first implementation of Chrome Extension Manifest V3?

...Why not just make build a new browser engine? Spread the word and it'll eventually beat Chromium.

The whole web (HTML5 + JS + CSS) has become so pozzed that something new needs to be created, but that is too for Zig Forums.
Just forking Chromium is not worth the effort.

google will purposely slow your shit down. look what they did to fuck with microsofts browser edge. if your browser is slower to run google shit it wont catch on.

What is preventing someone from editing their hosts file?
Nothing?
What about a local DNS server?
Nothing?
I understand that having the browser capable of blocking ads themselves is another layer of fail-safe protection, but it certainly shouldn't be the sole level of protection.

Hosts-based adblockers aren't nearly as good, I'm only running a hosts blocker now using zerohosts+hosts-gen and for example it doesn't block the privateinternetaccess ad on the bottom of this page

I see your point, but native ads are hard to block anyways.

There is literally nothing we can do. It's all fucking over and everyone knows it. If we even try to make anything better, Google will kill us off. We have no choice but to conform, or die.

You can't. Give up and submit if you value your life. We are doomed eternally.
