- Vivaldi
This should really trigger regulators if there are any courageous ones left.
As I use @Vivaldi I wonder whether they will regret their decision to go with the blink engine and whether they will be forced to return to PRESTO!! 😎
If not, be prepared to switch to firefox. Since 10 years I urge the EU to make their own competing browser. Instead, they write rubbish into the eIDAS regulation 🤪

  Google announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin #uBO **will be disabled** in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 (#Mv3). The new #Chrome manifest will *prevent using custom filters* and *stops on demand updates* of blocklist. Only #Google authorized updates to browser extension will be allowed in the future, which mean an automatic win for Google in their battle to stop YouTube #AdBlockers . #ManifestV3 is deceitful and threatening to your privacy, and now is a good time to switch to #Firefox (@mozilla@mozilla.social) and/or #TorBrowser (@torproject@mastodon.social) if you haven't done so already! **EFF (@eff@mastodon.social) on Google’s Manifest V3**: > ⚠️⁠https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/chrome-users-beware-manifest-v3-deceitful-and-threatening > ⚠️⁠https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/googles-manifest-v3-still-hurts-privacy-security-innovation **Chrome Manifest V3 Transition Timeline** (2023-11-16) > 🚩⁠https://developer.chrome.com/blog/resuming-the-transition-to-mv3/ **EDIT** for clarification: MV3 in Chrome will still allow some ad blocking extensions, but will severely limit their blocking ability and even restricts pre-set filters to **50 MAX**.

  @rdela @rigo @igalia @TauriApps @crabnebula Well, if servo wanted to help towards that goal they could license under AGPL so we don’t end up in another Firefox OS/KaiOS situation down the line. But yes, a free and open browser, with its own rendering engine, created by an independent org funded by European taxpayer money would be a very good thing to have.

  @rigo paging @aral (haven't you spoken twice at the European Parliament?) …we need an EU browser here in NA too. Maybe @igalia and/or @TauriApps / @crabnebula will keep pushing Servo forward and we’ll get Firecrab 🔥🦀🦊 https://www.igalia.com/2023/09/07/The-Servo-project-is-joining-Linux-Foundation-Europe.html
