protest isn’t really a big deal.

The big deal comes when people work to do the same thing on other platforms.

  • Then we’ll find out what Reddit is really good for.

Oh, and Quora, and Google, and Meta, and Twitter.

Remember, do it in Firefox - not Chrome.

Wait - how come in Firefox, and not Chrome? (I say this as someone who primarily works using Chrome, as my workplace operates in the ice age and half the time Firefox acts stupid)

he’s referring to the fact that almost all browsers use chrome’s rendering engine and google is abusing its position of leadership by making unnecessary api changes that make adblocking extensions all but impossible to implement.

if you want to still be able to block ads on the web in the years to come, switch to a non-chrome web browser to limit google’s power and ability to abuse its position.

i think as of now, they have delayed the sabotage, but it’s coming.
