headlines have focused on the detrimental effect this will have on ad blockers, which will need to adopt a complex workaround to work as now. There is a risk that users reading those headlines might seek to delay updating their browser, to prevent any ad blocker issues; you really shouldn’t go down this road—the security update is critical.

It’s almost like tying together feature updates with security updates was a deliberate choice by tech companies so that they could tell users shit exactly like this.

How can there be any real market choices when software literally tells users “for your own safety, you must abandon the things you want, and take the things we give you”. How can consumers influence the direction of the product if they never have the option to decline that direction?

They always have an option, they just don’t have the balls to actually do it.

I highly recommend looking at something like Proton for 3 and 4. Or backblaze for 4 if it’s truly for backup.

Ah. I still have a “gmail” account but it’s entirely for the places that require a Google account now.

As for YouTube, I just stumbled across this thread: https://lemmy.zip/post/16741291

So . . . exactly what stealth crap is hidden in the Chrome “update?”

" . . . but it’s also the day Google started to pull the plug on many Manifest V2 extensions as its rollout of Manifest V3 takes shape."

Ahhhh, there we go. Manifest 3 will break almost all Chrome adblockers.
