Use Firefox.
This is the easiest problem to solve.

Who gives a fuck? Just stop using chrome

There was a time not too long ago where I would have just assumed a move this clearly douchey and against your customers’ desires would lead to nothing but a complete evacuation of those customers, but I’ve seen this movie play out enough times to know that somehow, someway, this will work out just fine for them. People will complain, swallow it whole, keep on using it, and finally just forget about it.

It turns out the majority of people are just really fuckin’ dumb.

Switch to Firefox, be happy.

This has been coming since they announced Manifest v3. Anyone paying any attention at all knew this was going to happen.

and switched to Firefox if they weren’t already using it

Imagine using you power to vote for a company who says it’s gonna kill all ad-blockers to monopolise the ad market even further … and then complain about the exact thing happening.
Using Chrome (or other Google products) is just supporting and enabling that.
If people didn’t use it, none if it would have happened.ChowJeeBai@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That’s why I don’t use chrome.

That alone would be why it’s good if they had to sell it.

The only issue with forcing them to sell it is Mozilla will lose most of its income stream. Hopfully selling it causes much branching making it harder to target firefox in making websites uncompatable.

The amount of disconnect with reality in the comments on this is / will continue to be hilarious

Chrome is shit. Never liked it and only use it at work.

The fuck you mean “new”? They have been trying to force chromium based browsers on everyone in part for this exact reason

Okay, thanks. I remember reading quite a bit about this but in another thread a while back, several people were recommending Brave. I was using it for a while and I do like the speed, especially on Android. I was using Firefox on both desktop and Androis but I think uBlock Origin on Firefox causes a 2-5 pause when accessing some websites. It’s really weird and I haven’t been able to figure it out.
Overall, I agree about Brave and the shady monetization stuff.

Brave Browser if you still want a Chromium based browser. Also ranks as one of the best privacy browsers
Fades@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Brave has plenty of problems and chromium base is only one of them, here’s some easy examples from recent history:
androidpolice.com/…/brave-browser-caught-adding-i…
The issue came to widespread attention yesterday, when Twitter user @Cryptonator1337 pointed out that Brave Browser auto-filled a referral code to the end of the web address when “binance.us” is typed into the address bar. Binance is a cryptocurrency trading website, and with that referral code, Brave Software could earn 20% from trading fees for every account created using the link.

Key Takeaways
- Brave browser reportedly redirected its users to the company’s own referral links when navigating to different platforms such as Binance, Coinbase, and others.
- Following the incident, the price of Basic Attention Token plummeted over 6%.
- But over the last few hours, the bulls appear to have stepped in, signaling that BAT is poised for further gains.
While we’re at it fuck every chromium-based browser. Just helping google conquer the internet that much faster.

Brave is malware that should never be used. If you need a Chromium based browser, Vivaldi is a good choice. Otherwise Firefox.

How is uBO Lite different from regular uBO?
Blaster_M@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
No permissions, unable to do some advanced blocking stuff, unable to pull an updated list of ad urls (which means yiu have to update the extension to get updated ad lists), and so on
vga@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
(which means you have to update the extension to get updated ad lists)
Extensions get updated automatically, though, right?
amorpheus@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Despite all the drawbacks, so far I don’t notice a difference.

Literally told people to expect this if they keep using chrome and now they are in disbelief, more so when I send them the screen cap of me telling them to expect it.

But why would an ad company want to block ad blockers? That makes no sense…
