EDIT: Apologies. Updated with a link to what gorhill REALLY said:

Manifest v2 uBO will not be automatically replaced by Manifest v3 uBOL[ight]. uBOL is too different from uBO for it to silently replace uBO -- you will have to explicitly make a choice as to which extension should replace uBO according to your own prerogatives.

Ultimately whether uBOL is an acceptable alternative to uBO is up to you, it's not a choice that will be made for you.

Will development of uBO continue? Yes, there are other browsers which are not deprecating Manifest v2, e.g. Firefox.

"uBlock Origin developer slams NeoWin, backpedals on recommendation!" —NeoWin editors, probably.

Sounds about right for any news outlet. "Slams" is so overused, and usually nowhere near an accurate euphamism.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 29 points 11 months ago (14 children)

How did supposedly intellectual people ever conclude that we should use the word "slam" on the daily in headlines?

It's straight out of Idiocracy and I will never get used to it.

Ragebait gets more clicks.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well yes, obviously. My question is more about how they pretend it's not just ragebait.

Very simple, they learned not to care and the ones who did care got weeded out.
