Google is going to release new manifest v3. How could it harm uBlock Origin? And will Firefox and Safari become the only major browsers that fully support uBlock Origin?

Genuine question here, whenever these posts about browsers come up (which is very often) I never see anyone mentioning Opera. What's the reason for this? I seem to remember it being very popular with the tech crowd a number of years ago, that might be misremembering on my part!

Opera is owned by a weird group of Chinese investors, collects your data and sends it to China. They also use crappy marketing practices, and the Opera GX "Gaming Browser" is a fucking joke. And their VPN isn't even a VPN, it's just a proxy. Not a company I would trust, especially when there are much better options like Firefox.

Oh right, that's not great. I suppose I'll see if I can make the switch to FF

I thought switching to ff would be painful but the migration tool handles most of the heavy lifting! You will have to sign into most sites again but your saved passwords transfer. Most youll really have to do is just find any addons you use again

They used to back in the internet explorer era have the fastest web engine. The reason they aren't talked about much these days is because they are yet another chromium browser.

Ah I see, thank you!
