Google to weaken ad blockers on Chrome in a push for security (cybernews.com)

Starting June 2024, adblockers such as uBlock Origin and many other extensions on Chrome will no longer work as intended. Google Chrome will begin disabling extensions based on an older extension platform, called Manifest V2, as it moves to the more limited V3 version.

Hmm, weird. Using an ad-blocker is basic security advice at this point because Google and other ad companies don't vet their advertisers properly, so malware or phishing often makes its way into ads. But yes, believe Google's lies and stop using an ad-blocker for "security reasons". Honestly, these shitty big tech corporations should just go fuck themselves.

They mean ad revenue security

Yeah that's the only kind of security they care about. Fuck Big Tech! And most importantly, stop using their garbage services.

Not sure what you mean but I use a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS, the most private and secure mobile operating system
