Well, duh. I don’t see what’s wrong with that, and it doesn’t make any difference to people who put ads on their site.

Ads provide nothing useful to society

An easy revenue stream for independent, free website hosters? Without this we wouldn’t have free versions of Cookie Clicker, Universal Paperclips, A Dark Room, etc…

What’s new is that apparently “We reported these vulnerabilities to all nine vendors. Most vendors responded, took the issue seriously, and fixed the reported vulnerabilities, although some keyboard apps remain vulnerable.”

I agree that it is awful to remove the API for reasons you’ve mentioned, but my point was that it’s a misconception that Mv3 broke and limped all adblocking. Currently the list is big enough that only edge case trackers aren’t blocked.

I like the artstyle, but the Mv3 blocking API has actually been improved to the point where uBO Lite, the Mv3 version of uBlock Origin, can block YouTube ads and only fails in edge cases.

Also, Safari technically has the same extensions support as Firefox does, but developers have to pay to distribute their extensions. That doesn’t stop the existence of AdGuard.

Swyping, the core functionality? And maybe one-finger mode?

no, it’ll go vroom-vroom
