- 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.

Never used it, I thought it was unmaintained but I guess I was wrong
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, not privacy, and specifically for Android.
Here is a good write up on the topic from the developer of the Mull and Mulch browsers:
https://divestos.org/pages/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.
Edit: I’ve made this point a few times, and always with lots of downvotes, just kind of funny. Especially when I provided a technical write-up from the developer of a security focused distro (DivestOS) as well as two popular security focused Android browsers (Mull and Mulch), but hey, maybe you all know better than he does.
Fennec is a pace in the right direction for that
Mull is better…
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.
Make sure
jnn-pa.googleapis.comisn’t blocked anywhere in your network. It may perhaps be blocked in a filter list you have activated in uBO, DNS, VPN, Firewall, anti-virus, Firefox enhanced tracking protection, etc.deleted by creator
As for grey jay, I haven’t had time to compile it yet. ReVanced is working well for me.
But that wouldn’t have comments or updating recommendations, right?
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.
Saaaaame for me on PC. Such a bummer.
FreeTube is available for Windows and Android. It has SponsorBlock built in as well.
It is… revolutionary.
Yea, I’m just waiting for the bomb to go off when Mozilla inevitably ends up following Google’s example.
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.
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.
