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.

    I’ve recently switched to FF as my main browser, but I still need Chrome for some work things. And some people will want to stay on Chrome. So for them, this IS a problem.

    Just dismissing it because other browsers exist isn’t helpful.

      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.

        One, this isn’t some huge life defining dilemma, it’s a browser FFS.

        And two, if people have to use Chrome, as is the case sometimes, then they did not make a choice, but are still subject to the changes being discussed.

        Acting like some superior know-it-all is not helping anyone.
