In the next 6 to 12 months Google is removing most adblock functionality - switch to Firefox (also Firefox mobile is amazing with uBlock origin )

They're not allowing remote connections for security , but you need a lot of 3rd party data to keep track of lists of ever changing malicious websites and ads to block

Am I the only one here that uses Falkon. I love Firefox and everything they stand for. But I do like having my desktop windows match. Since I use Plasma, Firefox just doesn't match.

Here's another reply for "this is why you Firefox."

Firefox is the way.

@Tibert What does this have to do with Google? Isn't this Facebook?

They will make it impossible for ad blockers to run in Chrome before much longer. Brave will then take their place on the throne of browsers for a while.

Brave has significant ideological issues, including its ties to cryptocurrency and that it replaces ads on sites with their own ads. And in the past they've done things like misusing their autocomplete to try to direct users to affiliates. Not to mention that it's still Chromium under the hood, like basically every other major browser except Firefox.

Unpopular opinion (maybe) - But i'm using Edge, works with chrome extensions, I use BingAI for quick searches and the cleanest looking vertical tabs I've used without elbow grease and extensions
