Google Chrome change that weakens ad blockers begins June 3rd
Google is continuing with its plan to phase out Manifest V2 extensions in Chrome starting in early June 2024, weakening the abilities of ad blockers.

I switched to Firefox 6 months ago as a test experiment. I literally have NO REASON to ever open chrome again. Imported my passwords and the transition was smooth as butter. And I am a stubborn turd that hates change. Firefox plus Ublock origin and superagent fixed everything wrong with the internet for me.
What gets me about this change is that it hurts enterprise more than anybody. I don't use chrome anymore for anything in my personal life, and haven't in several years now. However, it's the only browser I can use for work. 🤷🏻♂️
I'm similarly wondering about these changes getting ported to MS Edge. I have Ublock Origin on Edge on my work computer now, but if they move Edge to Manifest v3 then I guess Ublock won't work, then my work browser will be less secure.
superagent
How's that vs just enabling the built-in lists i uBO?
Does Ublock do cookie settings? I used superagent so I never see those cookie pop ups, it just declines all optional cookies.
Built-in:
AdGuard – Cookie Notices
EasyList – Cookie Notices
uBlock filters – Cookie Notices
and you can also add:
"I don't care about cookies"
please use "I still don't care about cookies", the original one has been bought by Avast, who in turn belong to Gen Digital, owner of AVG, Norton and Avira - not the most trustworthy names anymore.
Not seeing a filter-list for uBO on their github:
and you can also add:
"I don't care about cookies"
i referred to this part of your post - the addon does not add filter lists but skips GDPR Cookie dialogs by denying all. you can install it from addons.mozilla.org
