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 I don’t use chrome myself and haven’t been reading up on the whole ordeal recently so my information was a bit outdated lol
I don’t understand why people use Chome? Just use any other Chromium based open source browser or Firefox
I switched back to Firefox just yesterday.
Friendship ended with Youtube (partially)
Now Piped is my new best Friend.
Always have been 👨🚀🔫
Anyone have any good extensions for hiding ad blockers from sites? Can ublock origin do it natively?
If those popups appear you can usually manually remove them using ublock origin
Yep, using the Element Zapper. The little lightning bolt icon.
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.
I didn’t realize people were still using Chrome. I thought most jumped ship a few years ago.
Not trying to be rude, but really? You thought that “most people jumped ship” on a browser that still has over 70% of the desktop browser marketshare in 2023?
Hell on mobile browsers it is just over 60% marketshare. The people that “jumped ship” on that one all own iPhones.
This is just a silly statement.
I used Firefox for years, then switched to Chrome for a bit. It ate up 60% of my RAM for no fucking reason, so I switched back to Firefox a few years ago. Fuck Chrome
try invidious, you wont even need ad blockers
I have been really digging Brave lately.
Be friends with Vivaldi!!
Been there, done that, found more holes in vivaldi than the chrome itself, switched up to LibreWolf (a hardened fork of firefox.)
Nice to see LibreWolf getting some attention. Great fork
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.
It’s still Gecko, Quantum is the frontend.
Thank you for the clarification!
doesn’t safari also hav it’s own engine?
It does, but Safari is not cross-platform only macOS and iOS. Firefox is on Windows, Linux (x86 and ARM variants), macOS, Android, and iOS.
