[solved] Time to change browser?
Been a chromium user since I started with mint, think I need to change:
Googling it would appear that google have deliberately made changes to prevent extensions like ublock working. All to do with their ad revenue, so no surprises there. Now I wonder how ungoogled chromium behaves...

Re: Time to change browser?
You can always go back to Firefox
I heard Google is ditching the old extension API in favour of a more restrictive one. So any Chromium based browser may eventually need to carry along a huge patch to maintain the old API.

Re: Time to change browser?
I came from firefox, preferred chromium. I do have vivaldi installed as a backup.

Re: Time to change browser?
I'm surprised (just a little) that this would affect Chromium. What version of Chromium did you try this on? I'm on version 122.0.6261.128 (Official Build) built on Debian 12.5, running on Debian 12.0 (64-bit) and I have uBo installed just fine.
Re: Time to change browser?
I have uBlock Origin on Chromium, and it works very well for me.
If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!

Have you tried LibreWolf (source code on Codeberg)? It's a FLOSS Firefox fork with Firefox updates and enhancements for privacy and security and it has uBlock Origin on it by default.

Re: Time to change browser?
I'm using Chromium Version 123.0.6312.58 (after new update today) and uBlock Origin 1.56.0 and works fine for me.
Re: [Solved] Time to change browser?
Odd, I'm on 121.0.6167.160 and what I'm seeing is consistent with what I'd read:
https://www.ghostery.com/blog/ublock-or ... 20instead.
I'll update and see what happens.
EDIT - looks like update to the latest has fixed it, don't like the font change.

Re: [solved] Time to change browser?
uBlock Origin works perfectly in my Chromium-based standard browser Vivaldi as well as in Chromium browser. The problem of the topic starter may be caused by some settings.
