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.

    Yes it is. It’s not some unobtainable solution like you need to give 1/10 of your pay or giving away your freedom. It’s easy, free and almost painless solution that will solve your problems. You can’t try to cure your lung cancer and continue smoking.

      You missing the part where some people still have to use Chrome for certain things?

      Sneering about how they should use other browsers does not help them.

      Nor is the lung cancer thing helpful, so much as it is an utterly absurd comparison.

        That might just be a question of the User Agent being sent with requests, i.e. a lot of apps / websites were coded up with the assumption that Firefox / Gecko does not support certain features (which is mostly nonsense). Switching the user agent to Chrom(e|ium) resolves the issue most of the time.

        The more people use Firefox, the better. Lots of people had to use Internet Explorer for things… Until they didn’t because Chrome was faster and web devs focused on browser-agnostic technologies.

          I don’t disagree. But there are cases where Chrome is either the only option, or sometimes even just a better option.

          Having a go at people for not using Firefox is not the way to get them to use Firefox. It’s a way to get them to feel like they’re not part of the club.

          The only thing I need a Chromium based browser for is casting my totally legit streams of sporting events to my TV.
