Let’s travel back to when memes were new, anyone could get their 15 minutes with a silly dance, and the amount of data tech companies collected about you was slightly less creepy. Mozilla reunited some of the biggest names in late ‘aughts memedom for its “come back to Firefox” campaign.

Go on and…back up the thing you said with some facts somewhere?
You need sources that a browser extension has more features than a browser’s built-in feature? This is not debate club. Point your eyeballs at the screen.
What “screen”?
If you don’t want to provide sources, that’s your prerogative. But don’t expect not to be treated like a fool for it.

Lite vs. full uBlock Origin
Choose Lite when…
Choose full uBO when…
I don’t know what that has to do with the conversation. For the third time, we’re talking about a native implementation. Not an extension.
This seems to be a bit of a miscommunication. But an extension is not native. And all versions of Ubo are extensions, something else doesnt exist.
You can define native a few different ways in english language so i get how it might be confusing if its not your first, but its similar to how a mod for a game is not native to the game.
When you mentioned “native adblock in chromium” That does exists and it requires no extension. But they are never as fully featured as the full Ubo extension which only works on firefox. Which is what this comparison is about.
I hope that helps.
Yes. That’s what I’m referring to when I said 3 times that it’s not an extension.
But it is. It’s the exact same functionality, built into the browser, natively.
I am going to do my best to explain the technical side in simple terms.
Chromium browsers use something called manifest V3.
V3 is a google designed “upgrade” to manifest V2 and it blocks certain advanced features provided by comprehensive adblocker like Ubo.
Wether an adblock is native or an extension does nothing to circumvent the native limitations of V3 that exists on all chromium browsers. If you have proof such hack exists that would actually be a technews worthy event.
The only (mainstream) browser that still supports V2 is firefox. Which is therefor the only browser that allows all the features of the full ublock origin. Firefox has no inbuild adblocker to compare to a chromium one.
I can believe that the features that work on V3 encompass your personal needs and that of many other people. But they are literaly not the same.
Some examples of features included in comprehensive v2 adblockers that are limited on v3 are:
(Not a full list)
I (and the Ubo developers) would be happy to see any proof that shows otherwise.
As I’ve already stated several times, that’s simply not true. MV3 literally only applies to extensions. But thanks for dumbing it down for me.
This has nothing to do with my “personal needs”, this is a technical discussion.
Apparently you’re right that MV3 only restricts extensions, not native blockers. I stand corrected on that part.
However, uBO on MV2 still has features that no known native ad blocker on a Chromium-based browser offers.
The closest match I could find is Brave Shields, but it still lags behind on per-site control, mainly because it has no dynamic filtering matrix, and it has no logger comparable to uBO’s. That most of the list i already mentioned multiple times.
To date, nothing matches or beats Firefox + uBO, so the original point still stands. The burden of proof that shows the contrary is on you for that.
Still wrong.
