Who is the Lemmy user not aware of this? Show yourself!

Google is not killing uBlock Origin. It's changing how Chrome works. uBlock Origin will continue to work in my Firefox and other browsers.

LMAO welcome to Firefox, the objectively better Browser. Might also use a custom search engine or DDG while at it.

Firefox and its other forks are the best option right now

Duh, Firefox. This is not a problem.

Make no mistake, what Google is doing is absolutely dangerous. Malvertisements are definitely a thing. Back in 2010, I got a virus from an ad on a meme site that just went through and trashed my hard drive.

It's unfortunate that there are use cases out there where Chrome is absolutely required. Firefox can't display large directories, for instance. It'll lock up while chromium browsers work fine.

Now introducing Enshittium Browser ad diarrhea flows freely

I'm laughing at myself right now. I keep wishing people would switch to more progressive politics when people cannot even switch to a free piece of software with zero drawbacks even when their software starts blocking other software they use.

Highly recommend setting up a PiHole. It may not be quite as comprehensive as uBlock, but it cuts the ads way down, and it's not something that browsers can easily bypass. You do have to make sure to shut of DNS over HTTPS, or setup a separate solution for that to tunnel into PiHole.

Fuck Google.

Vivaldi (and Brave I think) are safe until July 2025.

I switched to Firefox about a month ago for personal use. It's nearly impossible for me to quit using Chrome, though, due to work.

I don't hate Firefox, but it does absolutely do some stupid shit that I don't like.

that's why I haven't downloaded OperaGX to run twitch in the background
