With chrome/ium you can't even block ads. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] 9up999@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 years ago (3 children) That's a lie sir. Brave blocks ads out of the box. Vivaldi also has ad block filters. You can add custom filters to both browsers. Also edge has shitty ad blocker. Kiwi browser supports almost all chrome extensions. Basically almost all except chrome and still you can block most of the ads using correct dns server. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] sarsaparilyptus@midwest.social 17 points 3 years ago (1 child) We're talking about actual web browsers here, not spyware that uses your device to run a botnet permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 9up999@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 years ago (2 children) Firefox is as much botnet as others.
