Google has removed manifest V2 extensions from their web store, including uBlock Origin

a month ago by FallenWalnut to c/PurchaseWithPurpose

Google today reached the final milestone in a browser-extension transition that has been years in the making, all remaining Manifest V2 extensions were removed from the Chrome Web Store.

Brave will continue to support it, but the best move is to switch to a Firefox-based browser, either Firefox itself, Waterfox or Zen Browser.

A lot of people (should) have removed goggles from their life long ago.

This announcement ~2 years ago was what finally got me off Chrome. I found FOSS replacements for most Google products, the one that stuck around was Maps, until this week when I decided I can't use a product that no longer takes being accurate seriously when they pre-complied unnecessarily with Lake of America bullshit. They are eating their own tail. Luckily since the last time I tried maps alternatives it seems much, much improved and I think I'll be able to not slink back to maps--if anything there are more features and better controls.

It's still a WIP but moving!

I found CoMaps works for my purposes on Android. It uses data from https://openstreetmap.org/ which works fine by itself on desktop.

Yeah I'm using CoMaps too. I noticed yesterday they don't have a windows client, just iOS and Linux. Fair is fair and all but wish I had an option for windows desktop since most people don't always want to look at maps on an android form factor.

You could always suggest they make a windows client, or maybe try to use WSL to install the linux client; https://learn.microsoft.com/...

Good luck in either case. :)
