- Google is transitioning Chrome’s extension support from the Manifest V2 framework to the V3.
- This means users won’t be able to use uBlock Origin to block ads on Google Chrome.
- However, there’s a new iteration of the app — uBlock Origin Lite, which is Manifest V3 compliant but doesn’t boast the original version’s comprehensive ad-blocking features.
Firefox is the bomb.

I’m not saying to never use Firefox Android forks, but the reality is that Chromium forks are significantly more secure on Android, such as Mulch (same dev as Mull) and Chromite (Bromite fork).
Again, I am talking security, and not privacy, and specifically for Android.
Here is a good write up on the topic from the developer of the Mull and Mulch browsers:

For desktop there are a lot of good Firefox forks, such as Mullvad’s Browser, Librewolf, & Waterfox. If a website needs Chrome to work, I just use Vivaldi or Ungoogled Chromium.
Mull is the closest
iceraven is nice to
Never used it, I thought it was unmaintained but I guess I was wrong

Fennec is a pace in the right direction for that
Mull is better…
Yea, I’m just waiting for the bomb to go off when Mozilla inevitably ends up following Google’s example.
Firefox already adopted manifest V3 but specifically kept the features needed for adblockers
Yep, I’m watching intently with the shit they’ve been doing.
Thankfully, Firefox is open-source, so we can just use one of the forks, or perhaps Ladybird will be ready for general release by that time.
It is… revolutionary.
YouTube isn’t playing on Firefox with Ublock for me either. I’ll need to go through and reinstall my extensions, but I couldn’t find the root cause so far, I’d just been using chrome with ublock for YouTube and Firefox for everything else.
Try NewPipe or a fork of that for YouTube on Android.
It doesn’t have recommendations or ability to comment does it? And ReVanced is still working for me on Android.
Use a redirect plugin to open all YouTube links in invidious.
On android, GrayJay is the best app for not only YouTube but all video and streaming platforms.
Saaaaame for me on PC. Such a bummer.
