Google is weakening ad blockers as part of their MV3 extension standard and this will trickle down into all Chromium browsers. Built in ad blockers lack features compared to uBlock Origin as well.

        To reduce reliance on Google… With the goal to change how advertising works, less annoying, less asshole ads would benefit everyone.

      Mozilla is mostly funded by google. With the current cookie laws from the eu to try and stop user tracking, they developed a new solution together.

      Both chrome and firefox analyze your behaviour on your pc/phone/device. Then instead of giving websites the right ads, your browser tells every website you visit (with such ads) about you. You can google “privacy sandbox” if you’d like to know more.

      So you better not be gay in a place like iraq, and be in need of using your school’s website on a personal computer.
