Will a pihole fill this void?
Switching to Firefox might!
I'm already on Firefox, I just meant in general
Not at the same level. Ublock can remove way more granular spam and ads than pihole, which is limited at DNS requests. I use both... Running Firefox of course.
its also available on firefox, de manifested version of chromium are likely to crop up, idk. Depends on how cancer it is to rip that shit out.
Re-manifested? To fix it you have to reenable manifest v2. That should be simple for a while but will get more problematic over time.
de v3 versions, obviously. Mozilla has no intentions of implementing it, and if chrome kills v2, it's not impossible that mozilla can hit them with an anti trust case and win, considering this is arguably what that would be.
But it will probably start to break on individual shitty websites over time, as per usual unfortunately.
To an extent. But it wouldn't surprise me at all if sometime in the near future they force the use their own DNS servers within their browser instead of respecting your network configuration.
The best solution to circumventing Chrome's bad behavior is to not use it.
Edit: speiling
Man you gotta edit this again, you miss spelled spelling.
You misspelled misspelled.
I'm just living up to my username!
i've got a few using the mv3 'lite' version of ubo here. seems to be sufficient--for now.
