I assume ladybird does not yet have an extension platform for people to install add-ons,
such as uBlock origin.
Recently Google went in to take down uBlock origin - see websites such as
https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/news/story/using-ublock-origin-google-chrome-warns-users-it-is-going-to-ban-it-2577055-2024-08-05 but of course others (that one is just an example of many more news site reporting on Google's strategy right now. Of course they claim that Manifesto 3 is a change in general, but let's be brutally honest: they specifically want to get rid of ad-blocking, since this threatens their business model the most - the rest is just Google trying to disguise that).
The recommendation by the uBlock origin to move to Firefox does not work, IMO, because Firefox gave up the fight a long time ago already; got addicted to the influx of Google money, and also started to track users not too terribly long, so for me, I don't trust Firefox either. I am actually using thorium, so I succumbed to the Google Empire, as there are no more alternatives. Dictatorship now controls the world wide web. Which browser is going to stand up against any of that? Perhaps ladybird may be one day, but who knows. But anyway, back to the main topic (and this issue can be closed, no problem, it is more to start a bit of thoughts and discussions, specifically in regards as to what ladybird aims to achieve, for users.)
Obviously for any alternative, one needs to find a way that it remains truly open, rather than semi-open as Firefox (any organisation that tracks users, can not be trusted, in particular when it becomes addicted to influx of money from corporations, aka bribes).
So, narrowing these thoughts down more specifically for ladybird:
(1) Are there plans for ladybird to support extensions? If so, how? (I guess in the simplest way, the question is how user-content could be delivered via custom javascript code, which kind of satisfies at the least one part of an extension ecosystem; obviously another one would be how people can download these extensions, if there is anyone doing monitoring of it or will it end up as left-pad-2.0)
(2) Specifically in regards to blocking content (which can also happen outside of extensions, of course): does ladybird have any plans or strategy to handle a user wanting to specifically NOT see certain content? I refer to this in general, not just anti-ad blocking. People may, for whatever the reason they have, block more content. For instance, kiosk mode in a university campus site, may require different settings than a user at home on a classical desktop computer system. (Usually kiosk mode is more restricted in many ways.)
