Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other extensions in Edge
Microsoft is now in the process of turning off Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge, such as uBlock Origin. However, not everything is lost at this point.
Watch how Firefox either gets sold or suddenly blocks all ad blocking addons.
It’s never a bad time to use Firefox. Been on it for many years (with a brief hiatus on chrome) and can’t recommend it enough.
Firefox just recently changed their tos removing the part where they said they don't sell your data. Will be searching for an alternative soon.
However, not everything is lost at this point.
I won't lose much myself as I don't use Edge (and I'd rather not browse the web at all than be forced to look at ads) but it's clear there is a worrysome acceleration in the vanishing of the little control we have over the Internet and the way we are allowed to experience it.
