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.
CHROME UBLOCK ORIGIN PLUS
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.
