I suspect the websites that use this system won’t be worth visiting anyway.
So you won’t use your banks website?
Or your utilities (gas/water/electricity/internet)?
You won’t let your kids use the portal at their school for submitting assignments?
Your government sites for renewing your drivers license or scheduling hard refuse pickup?I can think of lots of reasons that will force me to have chrome installed if this goes ahead.
Good point. If it’s just some random website though, fuck em.
I’ll have a specific VLAN for people needing those things

I haven’t had ads showing up in decades. I literally have all of the google addons for websites revoked, as well as every advertising outlet, don’t block the ads, block the javascript that services them.
got a tutorial or something for this?

These are the ones I use for their respective browsers. It is a bit of a pain the first time you go to a website, but you can get a LOT of insight into how “business” works online. Take some time and research what the various script origins are actually doing. It has been quite illuminating over the years to see what all of the scripts are doing. Secret redirects hiding in ads, background control scripts, data harvesting, etc. I have never seen a tutorial on it per se, but from my experience, things with “cdn” are usually hosting the media for the site as long as the domain is the same (sometimes not if they are pulling images from another source), anything with the word “ad” in it gets auto banned by me, and try to turn on as few things as possible to make the page work. I even somehow managed to block the in-video ads on Crunchyroll for a time. Don’t ask me how, I have never been able to get the event replicated on a friend’s machine.
Hope this helps.

Lol it’s like going back in time. I remember the days when sites wouldn’t support certain browsers because of differences in programming (accidental, if you will). Now, we’ve gone full circle and are intentionally blocking use of a site when not using a particular browser. Wouldn’t this be considered monopolistic?
My main browser is tor, blocks JavaScript so 🤷
I have Firefox but use it exclusively for school stuff that doesn’t work on tor
I mean, tor is also Firefox

My brother in christ, you are using chrome with a different color pallet and a different company that sells your data
Any EU people around here that could eli5 this new thing and the possible consequences for EU residents using the internet?
Same as everybody else. No chromium for trusted DRM, no access. i am not aware of EU saying anything public about it yet, but you should fill an anti-trust complain to bring it to their attention. I already did.
