Google is Killing uBlock Origin. No Chromium Browser is Safe.
(www.quippd.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Honest question here, since chromium (vs chrome) is open source, can someone not fork an older version, or remove the new code blocking ublock?
I mean i assume it cant be done, but i dont know why
It can be done, but then whoever forks that will need to stay on top of keeping that fork up to date with other changes in the original chromium, and that gets harder and harder to do as time goes on and more changes are made to the same or related parts of the codebase.
And you have to know that if anyone actually tried, they would dedicate their infinite resources to making that as difficult as humanly possible.
Google: We changed a color
Fork Developer: they changed a color and it caused 50,000 breaking changes that a diff tool can't handle automatically wtf.
Google: sorry wrong color here's a new one
Fork developer: another 100,000 breaking changes that a diff can't handle?!?!
