they know it will waste our time, suck our resources, they may lose this round, but we will spend it fighting this stupid argument instead of other more important issuesĭoes anyone remember when microsoft killed netscape by including exploder by default? It’s the same thing, the same tactic, nearly 30 years later. they know it will offend those who are trying to evade and boycott big tech like them, and it will bother us, and as such it is psychological warfare whoever is behind this is hiding behind the plausible deniability granted by ‘idiots are stupid we need to save them’ which they always do, and essentially identifies them as bad actors whoever is behind this has indicated then that they have infiltrated the chromium open source community
whoever is behind the request to make it impossible to remove their brands of search engines, knows this will push the edge of their power and influence and branding Many things about this are disturbing to me, not just the event with the option being removed to be able to remove options you don’t want, but the general level of discussion and analysis about it. The Chromium clones (Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, etc.) will be the Waterfoxes/Pale Moons of Chromium, ROTFLMAO! The programming done by the Chromium clones (Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, etc.) are trivial, like putting lipstick on a pig. don’t have the programmers or the money). 3.Ĭhromium clones (Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, etc.), can only program on top the Blink engine, they are not able to make changes in the Blink browser engine (Google could fork the Webkit engine, because they have alot of $200,000+ a year programmers and tons of money, while Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, etc.
CHROME BASED BROWSERS NOT WORKING UPDATE
2, but eventually, due to not being able to patch all the security holes, they will be forced to update to the latest version of Blink that only supports Manifest v. 3.Īfter January 2023, the Chromium clones (Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, etc.) will try to base their browsers on the last version of Chromium that supports Manifest v. 2 therefore all Blink based browsers (Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera, Brave, etc.) will eventually use Manifest v.
2 in January 2023, the Chrome clones (Vivaldi, Brave, etc.) don’t have programmers with the ability to restore Manifest v. 3 in January 2023).ĭespite all the lies by the makers of the Chromium clones (Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, etc.), when Chromium deprecates Manifest v. 3 to all Chromium based browsers, to protect their advertising revenue business, so Chrome will have Manifest v. You * are missing the point.Īshwin is pointing out that the browsers based on Chromium lack the mental acumen and programming expertise to make changes in the Blink browser engine (Google, of course, can do it, but Google is the driving force in forcing Manifest v. What do you think? Should browsers allow you to delete the default search engines? Will it impact other browsers in the same way? I mean, if there is no webRequest API that can be used, what could they possibly do except to rely on their own built-in ad-blockers? This got me wondering about what could happen when Google decides to kill support for v2 add-ons, and forces extensions to use Manifest V3.
CHROME BASED BROWSERS NOT WORKING CODE
I will admit that I find it surprising that the removal of a simple feature in Chromium's source code impacts every browser that uses it as the base, do they have a choice? This does give Google an advantage over the competition. That said, if a malicious extension, toolbar or website, manages to use the add search engine option to inject a harmful search provider in the browser, and set it as the default provider, it wouldn't be stopped, would it? That is likely a very rare scenario, one that can easily be prevented by using an ad-blocker like uBlock Origin, avoiding illegal websites, and good old common sense of not clicking links randomly. It is a precautionary measure that could end up protecting the user in the event a malware tries to delete the default search engine, or hijack it. I think this change may not affect most users. You can still add custom search providers if you want to, and this allows you to edit the search parameters.
