Use firefox

And if you don't like Firefox, use one of the Firefox forks. Some of them are very Chrome-like.

Everyone should ditch chrome

My fucking organization refuses to support anything but Chrome. I hate it so much.

I take this as a sign that it genuinely still works to block ads and hasn’t sold out and become malware like those others that used to be popular.

And that is why I went to Firefox once Google announced this bullshit.

Swapping is pretty painless. It even brings over all your passwords and stuff these days. Best get to swapping before Google disable that as well. They'd just love to keep you hostage.

Use a third party password manager, don’t rely on browser default ones

Doesn't cover 100% of what uBO did, but it still works just as good IMO with DNS based ad-blocking on top.

Surprised so few people are aware of this. It seems equivalent to me when you give it the same permissions Ublock Origin had.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Agreed. I haven't even found anything that it doesn't block that UbOrigin did.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Not surprising, Google is an ad company at this point.

It never was anything else
