Stop using Google products
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

Nah, working at Google means sleeping at Google. There’s no driving to work /s
That’s not a new concept, look up “mining towns” or Detroit.
Thanks, babe, I’m perfectly aware it’s not new. I just find it ironic that a tech company would invest in dorms instead of remote work 😾
Kind of like Ready Player One then…
I didn’t think of that movie, but you’re right!
The book is better and way nerdier. If you want ultimate nerdiness, the audiobook is narrated by Wil Wheaton!
I don’t know how he wasn’t audibly smiling when he read the part about himself though.
Or EPCOT
That actually sounds kinda nice until you get fired. Lose your job and home in the same week.
The main problem with company towns is that the company leverages its monopoly and charges you a lot for everything.
I’m going to be honest. If that work was making me 6 figures, I would sleep like a baby.

I switched to Firefox 6 months ago as a test experiment. I literally have NO REASON to ever open chrome again. Imported my passwords and the transition was smooth as butter. And I am a stubborn turd that hates change. Firefox plus Ublock origin and superagent fixed everything wrong with the internet for me.
What gets me about this change is that it hurts enterprise more than anybody. I don’t use chrome anymore for anything in my personal life, and haven’t in several years now. However, it’s the only browser I can use for work. 🤷🏻♂️
I’m similarly wondering about these changes getting ported to MS Edge. I have Ublock Origin on Edge on my work computer now, but if they move Edge to Manifest v3 then I guess Ublock won’t work, then my work browser will be less secure.
superagent
How’s that vs just enabling the built-in lists i uBO?
Does Ublock do cookie settings? I used superagent so I never see those cookie pop ups, it just declines all optional cookies.
Built-in:
AdGuard – Cookie Notices
EasyList – Cookie Notices
uBlock filters – Cookie Notices
and you can also add:
“I don’t care about cookies”
please use “I still don’t care about cookies”, the original one has been bought by Avast, who in turn belong to Gen Digital, owner of AVG, Norton and Avira - not the most trustworthy names anymore.
Not seeing a filter-list for uBO on their github:
and you can also add:
“I don’t care about cookies”
i referred to this part of your post - the addon does not add filter lists but skips GDPR Cookie dialogs by denying all. you can install it from addons.mozilla.org
Google is collapsing because we are not the customer they serve (anymore). We are the product.
They have spoiled all the good will their brand has which means they are vulnerable to competition.
Since when were we the customer? I never paid for Google anything.
I mean a few of us are still … Android, Chromecast (Android TV), Google One, Google Suite, Google Mesh, Nest (the few products that remain).
Does this apply to chromium browsers too?
Yes. In the article it links to a blog post made by chromium.

Nope. Won’t happen to those having inbuillt ad-blocker, as those are not extension and thus aren’t affected by MV3.
Maybe. Who the fuck knows?
