"news outlets" reported that google was backing down and wouldn't remove support for uBlock Origin a while ago. Turns out that's not the case, Google is hell-bent on maximizing profits now and will remove the blocking features uBlock relies on. This is a total scandal but its' the future you choose by using Google software.
The day ublock origin stops working is the last day I use chrome

I guess I'm further invested in Edge Chromium than I thought I was.

Depends. KDE's Falkon browser is getting rather interesting. That's a Qt fork of Webkit.
Both webkit and blink have potential to be forked into something good. But don't kid yourself, as of now there are no forks. NONE. Following upstream with a tweak or two isn't a fork. Webkit was a real fork of HTML, and Blink was a real fork of Webkit. Some free software work of either of those would be great.

>edge chromium You're going to get fucked when they merge upstream changes anyways.

Are ungoogled-chromium and Iridium affected by this?
Ian Baker
Microsoft is going to want every bit of adoption they can get. Between a closed-source Chrome that doesn't have adblocking, and a closed-source Chrome that is exactly the same except that it has adblocking, which would you use?
Austin Cox
Every single Blink based browser on the planet is affected. This is the future you chose.
Hunter Williams
How will I avoid this shit without a blocker? Seriously, why is this suddenly a thing? And do they really think that by saying "you agree" I actually agree?
