When ad blocking is a cat-and-mouse game, make the mouse slowe
when the most popular browser engine is made by advertising corporation…
Eu salivating over it’s monoply case
Yup, and that’s why I haven’t used Chrome as my primary browser in well over a decade. I went with Opera until they became a chromium clone and have been with Firefox ever since (and used them before Chrome was a thing). I only used Chrome for a couple years when it first came out, then bailed because other browsers were better in terms of features.
The one thing that could absolutely kill Chrome’s market share… And they’re doing it. LMAO!
Mozilla couldn’t be happier!
This is the only reason chrome exists. Why else go through the pain to maintain a web browser?
Hmm… Something something Firefox
I was wondering if all Alphabet employees aren’t allowed to use ad blockers. Do they really believe that the internet without adblockers is a sane experience?
Thank goodness I don’t use chrome or any chrome based browsers, so I can still use an effective ad blocker.
For now.
Google is working very hard on sabotaging all other browsers to a point where if you want to do anything online (watch video on Big Media platforms, use banking websites, etc.) you’ll be locked into Chrome and it’s derivatives.
I moved away from chrome over a year ago, once they started talking about blocking ad blockers. Firefox works great, easily imports your passwords and bookmarks, and supports all the ad block extensions I like.
Google feels ok in doing this due to their dominating share in the browser market. In reality, the most influential users of their products will end up finding alternatives, and never coming back. These users tend to convince other users to follow. It’ll be a slow downturn unless Google ramps up their efforts, but it’ll happen.
For ad/trackerblocking no need of the ChromeStore in Vivaldi, also easy to install extensions from other sources, even scripts. Only bad for other Chromiums.
