Bypassing Google's big anti-adblock update

So theoretically Chrome is open source.

Open source is supposed to prevent issues like this, as it is possible to fork Chrome pre-MV3 and preserve this functionality.

However, this appears to have not happened.

Perhaps we need a better definition of “open source”, or well-funded organizations that are adversarial in nature to the maintainers of open source commercial software.

Lots of f/oss has malware and misfeatures in it, hiding behind the guise of “open source”. It doesn’t count unless there are non-corporate interests at work in the project that are willing and able to fork.

Chrome is open source just like Russia and Iran are democratic dictatorships. Just in the naming.

open source only means you can use and fork it without too many restrictions. it doesn't mean open governance or did the greater good.
