![]() If Gorhill’s addons stay alive but with less functionality? Nothing changes for the majority of users. Some people won’t even notice, others will switch to adblock or something else. Let’s say Google pushes the changes and uBO/uMatrix can’t be used anymore. Have to install something extra? Too much effort, not worth it.Īnd this also applies to tech people who should know better!īack to the topic. What they want is simple and easy, as long as it works they’re fine with whatever. A lot of “normal” tech users are like that. But I do understand that it’s just how they do things. It always baffles me when I see streamers using their browser and the lack of security or plugins… no adblockers, basic settings, default this and that. uBO+NoScript on the other hand are simple and easy to use, even the advanced options are understandable. I just stopped bothering with it and I’m somewhat capable with computers. It confuses me and reading up on it confuses me more. I’d like to use uMatrix instead of NoScript, but guess what? I don’t understand the UI. The more complex something is, the less likely people are going to bother with it.Įxample: I’ve been using computers since Win95 adblockers for over 10 years now. Not to mention that a lot of people don’t understand certain functionality or UI options. Then there’s those people who have an adblocker, but don’t know how to use/maintain it. There’s even people who refuse to use adblockers because they want to support websites/people some strangely even like ads… No, people won’t drop Google/Chrome when uBO stops working/becomes inferior.įirst of all, a lot of internet users don’t even know about adblockers or don’t care about ads. ![]() Yes, adblockers are some of the most popular addons/extensions. I think you overestimate adblocker users. social blocking, that number would increase even more. EasyList, a very popular blocking list, has 42,000 filters and if users add other lists used for other purposes, e.g. While there would still be adblockers for Chrome, the limit of 30,000 network filters would make even those less capable than before. All that would be left are AdBlock Plus like filtering extensions that would all offer the same blocking functionality. The new API would limit content blockers for Chrome-based browsers and eliminate options to create new and unique content blocking extensions. one could choose to globally block large media elements, but allow them on a few specific sites, and so on still be able to override these rules with ever more specific rules. and all of these can be set to override a less specific setting, i.e. There are other features (which I understand are appreciated by many users) which can't be implemented with the declarativeNetRequest API, for examples, the blocking of media element which are larger than a set size, the disabling of JavaScript execution through the injection of CSP directives, the removal of outgoing Cookie headers, etc.
