I don’t understand why people use Chome? Just use any other Chromium based open source browser or Firefox
most of the population isn’t tech-savvy enough to know about different browser types, or care about which one they’re using. The reason chrome is so dominant is because it comes pre-installed on many devices, and so people just don’t bother to change it.
Probably because most don’t know what Chromium is, or what open-source means or why certain websites don’t work (or work as well as in Chrome). Sad but true.
Be friends with Vivaldi!!
Vivaldi still uses Chromium as a base, so you’re still supporting Google and Chrome. Literally only Firefox and its forks use a different rendering engine (used to be Gecko, I think it’s Quantum now). If you are using a browser with Blink as a rendering engine, you’re using Google code, and Google will still be in control of your browser.
I have been really digging Brave lately.
Use librewolf, much better.
What’s different between Firefox and librewolf ?
librewolf is hardened firefox out of the box. If you want to harden firefox yourself or use user.js from arkenfox you can achieve the same end result.

Anyone have any good extensions for hiding ad blockers from sites? Can ublock origin do it natively?
I’ve used only ublock for a while and haven’t had any issues with sites detecting adblock. Heck, even with the recent youtube debacle I still block ads on yt and haven’t noticed any of the things people are complaining about. Though, I have youtube enhancer as well which also blocks ads.
If those popups appear you can usually manually remove them using ublock origin
Yep, using the Element Zapper. The little lightning bolt icon.
if I recall correctly many adblockers (including uBlock origin) stopped working a while ago on chrome when chrome implemented manifest v3.0 for extensions
Hasn’t happened quite yet. uBlock Origin on Chrome is much less robust than on Firefox, that’s for sure. Manifest 3 is finishing it’s rollout this month and we’re looking at not being able to functionally use adblockers in Chrome very soon.
Ah okay, thanks for the info. I don’t use chrome myself and haven’t been reading up on the whole ordeal recently so my information was a bit outdated lol
