One of my co-workers switched to UBlock Lite instead of UBlock Origin and now the ads are back.

Now he's working on switching to a non-Google browser.

Good job, Google. You have killed Google for yet another former customer.

Chrome users are not customers, they're the product.

You are not Google’s customer. You’re the product they sell to their customers.

Edit: Made this comment before refreshing the post to see the person above me. What they said.

Haven't found a better fork with vertical tabs and the customization Floorp offers. So Floorp it is.

I 'm forced to use Chrome on my work laptop and it is the worst browser (even before the disabling of Manifest V2), but for security I can't access many systems with even another chromium based browser . Funnily IT forces an extension on us and it isn't compatible with Manifest V3.
