I think it makes more sense to keep webext-ublock-origin-chromium because a sensible workaround exists for now. Also there might be an effort to port ublock-origin to newer Chromium versions in a few months and then we could just upgrade it in stable via a point release. It would be more of a hassle if we had to re-introduce the binary package then again. > > I'm not sure there is a way to replace ublock-origin, given that manifest > v2 is going away... > > The alternative for chromium is ublock-origin-lite however it's too late to > get new packages into trixie as far as I know. That's correct. I have to look into ublock-origin-lite and if we want to bundle the sources with the normal ublock-origin or switch to it entirely or create a separate source package for it. That's something for the next release cycle. > > > Perhaps we need to have brave browser in Debian as an alternative? > > Debian already offers an alternative browser, it's called Firefox, and > there is already webext-ublock-origin-firefox working fine. Right. webext-ublock-origin-firefox works fine and Firefox isn't a bad alternative either.
