Microsoft is now in the process of turning off Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge, such as uBlock Origin. However, not everything is lost at this point.

      Think about all offices, businesses and personal computers of people who don’t deeply know about computers

        I was kinda more referencing people on Lemmy. I know there are a lot of people that are clueless. I have several users that use Edge and it’s a constant battle.

      as far as a chromium skin goes, it’s far better than chrome - especially with tab grouping, vertical tabs, and profile link handling.

      As a sysadmin in a Microsoft shop, it has a lot of management features that I like. Users generally love Chrome and hate Firefox (for some reason, I dunno) so Edge was a good compromise while it still supported ublock.

      The only reason I even have it installed is to test websites (developer).

        Normies don’t use adblockers though. So this doesn’t change a thing, lol.
