    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.

      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.

    Anyone have any good extensions for hiding ad blockers from sites? Can ublock origin do it natively?

    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 I don’t use chrome myself and haven’t been reading up on the whole ordeal recently so my information was a bit outdated lol
