Good news from the US today. AICOA, a bill that cracks down on anticompetitive practices from Big Tech was re-introduced in the Senate with bipartisan support. My quote in the Senate press release explains why @ProtonPrivacy is supporting this legislation: judiciary.senate.gov/press/r…

uBlock will no longer make Chrome semi-usable.
‼️ Google is about to disable all adblocker extensions in Chrome. Instead of letting the adblocker inspect traffic itself, extensions now have to hand Google's browser a limited list of filtering rules and hope for the best. This leads to weaker blocking and more ads getting through.
Google makes the vast majority of its money selling ads. The company that profits from every ad you see also controls the browser most people use, with Chrome 149 being the last version supporting adblockers.
For example, under the new rules, uBlock Origin cannot exist. For millions of people, that extension is the only thing standing between them and a wall of ads, trackers, and autoplay garbage. One user put it bluntly: "The web is literally unusable without uBlock Origin."

This is from a research paper, so it's early days. If you want to protect yourself:
- close tabs as soon as they're no longer needed
- monitor the OPFS (if you're savvy enough)
- limit the maximum size of OPFS
As of yet, these attacks have not been seen in the wild.

In a world where everything seems to want to track you in every way, it's unsurprising that this has been unearthed.
Make no mistake, this is not a simple attack to carry out, but it’s something to be aware of.
Stay safe!
