Welp, the biggest reason that I use Edge just got thrown out, time to switch to Firefox.

I honestly don't know how people do without ad blockers. Even with being ok with ads, they are so overwhelming that I could not use internet without blocking them

I don’t use adblockers. If a site has too many ads to be usable, I don’t visit it.

So no youtube?

YouTube premium is one of the best subs you can buy if you watch a lot of YouTube. Plus you get Music.

YouTube is tolerable with ads. If I found it intolerable, I would pay. Or not visit.

I use noscript instead of an ad blocker. I find it blocks the intrusive ads. I do not mind what I view as normal ads (ie: text or link), but these video and popup ads drive me crazy. I find noscript blocks the "bad" ads.

Most laypeople I know haven't seen an ad blocker in action ever.

I install Firefox and uBlock on friends/family devices as often as I can.

In case your assumption here is that TFA is about Edge disabling adblockers: it's not. It's just removing ManifestV2 support. ManifestV3 is still supported. Despite what one might assume, MV3 does not seem to measurably diminish the effectiveness of adblockers; if anything, it improves it.

Isn't the main issue that for MV3 you can't have a dynamic blocklist ? And so you have to update it with an extension update ?
phire 12 minutes ago [-]
There is a dynamic API too that allows extensions to modify the blocklist at runtime.
I’ve been using UBlock Origin Lite on my iPhone for a while, and that works great, keeping itself updated from EasyList and allowing for custom rules.
In some ways it’s better, in some ways it’s worse. Sometimes you have to flip it into “complete mode” (and give it full access to modify the current site) to get good blocking.

It's ending manifest V2, not just adblockers.
uBlock Origin lite is V3 and is still supported

I guess it still will be the best browser to download Firefox

Lets hope it stays that way :)
But if offered enough $, I fear it will join that no-bocker bandwagon.

Brave as well?

Brave's adblock isn't as powerful as ublock.
antonymoose 11 minutes ago [-]
In what sense? As a normie-tier user of Brave’s internal and blocker, it’s worked great. I never became a power-user of uBlock.

It doesn't have to be so long as it still supports the above.
