Chromium nightly is now blocking MV2 extensions

gorhill has always been very mindful about what fumctionnality he put in uBo, and the potential risks associated with new features. For example, when ABP introduced a anti-tracking feature that could redirect url.com/parameters/theurlis=example.com to any other website (it should be example.com, but ABP allowed any website), uBlock Origin held back, as a malicious list could redirect user to any (malicious) website.

Agreed, but there’s the existence of malicious filter lists or compromised ones that Gorhill has no control of. I trust Gorhill, but don’t trust him with my browsing history, cookies, and everything I type and do on websites, due to issues like this.

Here’s another example.

While I understand the concerns about broad permission, this isn’t a big deal as it might seem.

Again, read this post that Jonah shared. Regarding that, I know many filter list maintainers are genuine, but I don’t want to risk my security for extra features.

After all, doesn’t Brave shields in Brave technically have every permission since it’s built in the browser ?
Brave browser could be compromised with malicious code, and so could uBlock Origin.

I haven’t seen that brought up. Maybe a post could be created from that, since I’ve never considered that and probably others have neither as well.
