Google ramps up its campaign against ad blockers on Chrome.
I remember how excited I was when google released a browser. They’ve become such a joke since then.

I have a copy backed up, works fine when loaded manually
Why wouldn’t you just use something like Firefox? Why the actual fuck would you opt to continue using Chrome?
They might simply prefer it, or be in an environment where they have no choice (e.g. office, education).
I’m a stubborn Firefox user but I have to say, this feels a little aggressive and not at all likely to convince anyone to switch.
So you’re saying they’d be allowed to sideload a discontinued chrome extension onto their work laptop but not allowed to download another legitimate browser? Yea…not buying it. Same with an educational setting. Pretty sure the person I reaponded to just simply is used to Chrome and doesn’t want change (which I do understand.)
Why would you use a browser like firefox when you could use brave which has built in ad blocks which firefox has not
Because ublock origin is like 2 clicks and doesn’t need a cryptobro chromium browser
You realize that Brave is Chromium and the „built in Adblock” is renamed ublock origin?
Noice. I’m sure there’s mirrors up already. Article says it’ll eventually stop working tho. I know I have a few extensions that eventually were disabled daily and I had to enable them each time I started chrome
This might be what makes he leave for Firefox full time. A bummer indeed
Edit: ha, just saw what sub/community this is. I use FF but only for browsing… privately ;]
Why not just use Firefox all the time? Literally zero reason to use Chrome except for the rare website that doesn’t work with Firefox?
I can understand them, I use Firefox on my PC, but Chrome on my phone, as I can’t live without tab groups there, for me it’s almost unusable without it, as I always have 100+ tabs open on my mobile browser
When they’ll add it, I’ll use Firefox on both
I mean, they are different so it is totally possible for someone to like one over the other, and that’s aside from the very simple reason of being used to it and/or not wanting to copy everything over like, passwords, payment methods, bookmarks, extensions (most important reason for me), etc.
I honestly just keep think I’ll eventually switch permanently when Google forces me to. It’s the same reason I’m here; reddit forced my hand. I’m equally waiting for Microsoft to force me to switch to Linux.
Also, typing that out, I do realize this isn’t a great mentality to have (I’m being forced to do x) but maybe that’s just the result of building my castle in foreign kingdoms. It’s basically damage control out here! lol
Fuck google. Bring back infoseek
I’ll just say it.
People that continue to use chrome, and all of its little forks like Brave and Edge, are the reason why corpos are winning and making the internet worse off in the long run.
I’ve been using Firefox since I was a kid 20 FUCKING YEARS AGO. Not ONCE have I went to another browser for anything, and I look shit up constantly, pay my bills through Firefox, and everything between the two.
Stop making excuses, and just use ANYTHING other than fucking CHROME. I don’t care if it’s safari, ladybird, or fucking internet explorer. Just stop using a browser that is built by an ad company masquerading as a fucking tech company.
Jesus.
