When ad blocking is a cat-and-mouse game, make the mouse slower.

    “Manifest V3 will also put roadblocks up before extension updates, which will delay an extension developer’s ability to quickly respond to changes.”

    Can’t wait for a day zero exploit to let rip and its impact and exposure increased because of an extension’s developer inability to promptly patch their software. I hope they are considering more than just ad revenue but somehow I doubt it.

      Yes it does still exist. It came preinstalled with the ThinkPad I set up for my daughter yesterday. That’s why I immediately installed Firefox and made it the default browser instead.

          I wish I could run Linux on it, but it’s for her online school next semester and they specified either Mac or Windows. I’m guessing there’s a proprietary software situation. Honestly though, she’s so inexperienced with Windows (her previous school notebook was a Chromebook issued by the school) that I don’t think she’s ready for Linux. She screwed things up just playing with system sounds and I had to rescue her.

            Ah, yeah. That makes sense. But at least you’re there to fix it all; many of us learned by breaking things. Repeatedly, lol.
