I've fully switched to Firefox everywhere. The only thing I'm missing is a lightweight browser which is not based on chromium for my potato tablet. jQuarks viewer is a good one but can be dumb sometimes, it opens image instead of the link for eg.
If only banks and government websites moved their asses and stopped mentioning Internet Explorer for one more time...
Why did they let an extension that blatantly undermines their goals onto the chrome store in the first place?

What's a good YouTube downloader these days?
yt-dlp is the gold standard. Not only for YouTube either. Check out the man page, the amount of shit it can do is insane.
yt-dlp continues to be the best option for me.
yt-dlp is what i normally use, tho its only got a command line interface. I think someone's made a GUI for it, but I've never tried it.

A great privacy focused client for YouTube is FreeTube. Uses a native API or Invidious for playback, and you can download and share videos from it. Doesn't give any identifying info to Google/YouTube and I've never once dealt with an ad. For mobile, Grayjay and NewPipe are similar apps.

Doesn't uBlock Origin already have a Manifest V3 version of the extension?
That's uBlock Origin Lite, which the developer already stated is grossly inadequate for ad blocking.
Yes, but capabilities are reduced.

Just stop destroying the www by supporting this toxic monopoly. How in the hell are all of those coping tweaks easier than just switching the freaking browser?! It's like Windows users claiming superiority when they have to have like 10 tools to tweak their operating system, with each year another new one being needed. At what point do you people realize how much you're getting duped and how you are part of the problem that makes this possible in the first place?
How dare anyone suggest that there's a way to accomplish something!
It's better to just use another browser that's not looking to exploit you
Yeah from one of those companies that pour tons of money into developing and maintaining a web browser without any way to recoup that expense.

For those who may not want to click the link, this appears to show a workaround that enterprises might use to bypass the change.
No, enterprises would use the Google admin console as described here.
The above is for a single machine, applied locally.
It looks like it’s the same flag to me. I mean, it’s entirely possible that administration could use a different path to applying the setting, but it has the same name.
Sure, it's the same flag, but using the admin console would apply it to a group of computers. The methods in the github link are to apply it to a single computer.

suddenly 20 new chromium forks appear
Huh, where'd those come from, I wonder. 🤔
