        You are right, my bad, last change seems to be a year ago.

      It isn’t? I just read that the “Chrome MV2 deprecation enterprise rollout” is in June 2025. When is the exact date for the end v2 support? “The changes will be rolled out over the coming months to Chrome Stable, with the goal of completing the transition by the beginning of next year.” is not “predictable”. It can be any time between 2024 November to 2025 April, maybe even May.

      Imagine giving that kind of a time to friend “yeah, I’ll show up probably at the beginning of 2025, but that’s the plan, it may be all the way until June 2025”. Very “predictable”.

        It’s really standard to leave some time for users to adapt when making a big change. Especially end users. It’s actually a good thing, the “friend showing up” analogy makes no sense.

        End of support for users is June 2024.

        But it did seem to have changed a year ago or so, my bad.

      Because someone said 10 years ago that it was slow, which is since parroted by a ton of people that would not notice it in any real life scenario.

      It feels clunky to me. However ads are so much more clunky that I’m gonna switch the second Vivaldi stops working properly.

      I started with Firefox when I was a teenager yet, and when the first chrome version dropped it was awesome so I migrated. I think I was at uni at the time and Google was seem as a good thing. Gmail was just a couple of years old and was awesome. Webmails at the time was rought.

      But chrome changed, and goodle changed. But many years into it was hard to move away. For me the biggest single problem with Firefox was that I could not kill tabs in the tabs “process manager”. I keep a lot of tabs open and no browser really solved the problem of many open tabs and tabs that keept open for many weeks. A lot of websites have “memory leak” and slowly but surely grow and grow with memory usage (YouTube is one of them). So that and a bunch of tabs made the usage of the kill tab a must. Over the years I looked for extensions to both organize the tabs better and also not have to keep só much of them opened. But nothing really helped me change my bad habits. I almost migrated back to Firefox when they had the tab groups feature. But they removed and also removed some functionality that made easy to change the whole browser but was a security nightmare.

      Anyway, things have changed and I am in the process of migrating. I can kill tabs in Firefox now. I was missing the group tabs feature from chrome, because I got used to it but I think Sideberry can do that and also help manage a lot of tabs/windows and also snapshots. I use session buddy in chrome. But that fucker failed me many times and I had to recovered the lost saved sessions. That kinda leave worried with Sideberry and use more of the advanced tab management stuff. But at least I noticed today that it can auto-export the snapshots to the external FS and then no matter what happens with the extension DB I can always recover it.

      So Yeah. Took a minute but I think I am almost ready to really migrate.

      TL;DR: Getting too comfy with a closed platform is a bitch.

    The longer they put it off, the more unnoticed it will go when they finally do it.

      But if the extension is removed from the store you will not get updates.

        Good thing you can add extensions from places other than the store.

          But uBlock Origin does not set update_url in it’s manifest.json so it won’t update automatically. You’d have to do it manually every time.

              It’s a good thing to be able to communicate without sarcasms when it’s not called for.

              But I don’t think it’ll change, feel free to try and make a PR but you’ll also need to setup a server to host the releases and update.xml.

          Not sure why the downvotes. I generally try to avoid extensions apart from ublock origin, but if I really need something, then I always get it from the developer’s github, not from chrome/firefox store. WAY TOO MANY cases of open-source extensions getting hijacked with malware on the store but not on github. Remember cookies.txt? Or great suspender? Or stylish?
