Google Has Removed Manifest V2 Extensions From the Chrome Web Store, Including uBlock Origin

Just a crying shame Mozilla has turned into a commercial nightmare making them relatively poor custodians of the only free choice we have left.

Mozilla needs to die so Firefox can live.

The income stream from Firefox is plenty for a highly technical, deeply competent, widely dispersed team could work full time on the product using something like OpenCollective.

Instead what we get is prime SF real estate offices, “competitive” SF salaries and a commercial organisation that seeks weird and increasingly desperate income streams to justify looking like “real company”.

I want an actual non-profit governing Firefox.

It’s called the forks, dude.

Also, hopefully the ladybug thing or whatever gets off the ground someday.

Edit: Servo is the better project to follow.

I think you mean ladybird, right? Just FYI The core maintainer is very close to the alt right open source sphere. Rejecting inclusivity as he deems it as too political and just rubbing shoulders with really weird guys.

There is servo though which is picking up speed lately, im following their rss for a while now. https://servo.org/ The money behind is also a lot more public and the project is more open to people. originally developed internally at mozilla it is now in the hands of the linux foundation europe.
