For a while now the transition away from Manifest V2 (MV2) to MV3 has been on-going and it looks like it is entering its final phase of deprecation, at least, in the case of Google Chrome. A recent discussion thread in the w3c WebExtensions Community Group GitHub repo has highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions.
What this essentially means is that the tricks and bypasses that were used to keep MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin and others alive will not work any more on Chrome, or at least not for very long. For example the Windows Registry mod that could extend MV2 availability will cease to function after Chromium version 151.
They only ‘hold the internet by the balls’ if you are using and reliant on Google products.
There are hundreds (if not more) tutorials and lists online to guide you through degoogling
I’m sure we can get thousands of websites and every major corporation to degoogle cause you said they should.
Where did I say they should? (I do think it, but didn’t say it).
The only person here that spoke supposed ‘facts’ was you, saying that Google holds the internet by the balls. Which is true only in your corner of the world. Google definitely has a majority control, but we already have a big (and growing) movement with European Digital Sovereignity, De-Googling and loads of others.
Up to you if you want to let Google hold the internet that you use ‘by the balls’.
