Microsoft is now in the process of turning off Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge, such as uBlock Origin. However, not everything is lost at this point.

what a fucked timeline

browsers turning off specific extensions which protect us.

they shouldn’t even have a horse in this race. i mean we know why they do, but damn is it completely insane.

what’s also fucked is how normalised this is becoming.

all of that said, edge who?
