a bunch of my accessibility customization plugins just broke so if you're the kind of person who'd tell me to "just" use "tampermonkey" can you translate this into fifth grade level english please? i googled "enable developer mode" but when i did that it just opened a side panel of code with a lot of buttons i don't understand
@kelly in the long run, Tampermonkey will stop working on Chrome and Chrome-derived browsers (Opera, Brave, Vivaldi,…) because Chrome is preparing to only allow addons that don't load custom code, probably to get rid of effective ad blockers
@noiob is there.... some other kind of browser where this is not a problem
@kelly yes, Gecko-based browsers like Mozilla Firefox and depending on your OS, Webkit-based browsers like Safari
@noiob is that not a firefox logo there in this warning popup though? i must be out of the loop
i'm on "windows 10" if that matters
@kelly That is a Firefox logo because Chrome and Firefox take the same addon format (for now). However, the message only appears when you read the Chrome changelog, same as the Manifest V3 message
Firefox will implement a thing called "Manifest V3", the new format that makes adblockers worse and kills addons like Tampermonkey, but they have no plans of discontinuing Manifest V2, which is what addons currently use

@noiob i don't know most of these words i'm sorry
what, in simple terms, is someone like me to do (i'm mostly just making certain websites stop flashbanging me with inflexible design choices)
@kelly in the long run you will have to switch to a browser that is not Chrome
@noiob so................. firefox...? then? yes, no?
@kelly yes, Firefox will be a safe choice for the foreseeable future
@kelly from the wording it seems like that setting will become necessary at a later date
@noiob thank you! it didn't seem to fix anything, but uh, this is the most progress i've made in days lol
