Man, I hate Firefox but I’ve been using it for the past year as my main browser in preparation for this

What are people’s top Chrome replacements besides Firefox?
Is this all Chromium based browsers? I’ve recently been enjoying Vivaldi, seems it has a built in ad block I haven’t even installed uBlick on it yet

Million other exetintions will appear on the chrome store & even outside the store that will make AdBlockers & the cat & mouse game will never end.
Especially that ads now are out of control & some websites don’t even work correctly without an AdBlocker.

Go Firefox. Honestly it even works better. This mess of a change will affect all chromium browsers anyways.

Use Firefox, etc. etc.

switch to brave or firefox

I would’ve just been like “it’s irrelevant what is the best practice for Chrome extensions are.” Browsing on the internet today without adblock is basically not doable because there are ads everywhere from top to bottom. Imagine driving 5 miles and every 1ft is an ad. By the time you get home, it’s going to be time to go back to work again.

STAY FUCKING CALM!
Just switch to Firefox, it was always the best browser anyway

I have Adguard. Google’s craziness will also block them, I guess, if not done already.

Ungoogled-chromium and downloading ublock directly from the github, this will be a non-issue. This will of course be downvoted instead because convenience trumps all and people don’t want to worry about it.

Old news. Stop using Chrome.

ublock origin lite works like a charm and is Mv3 compatible

Always try to use products that place its users first, even if the experience is a bit worse. When the market leader has gotten rid of all its competition you’ll wish for that slightly worse alternative.

“Oh no.
Anyway.”

I’m assuming you can import bookmarks and passwords from chrome to Firefox?
I’m not saying I like ads, but it does make me miss the days when it used to be just a banner on the top and/or the side and that was it. No sound, no pop-ups or pop-unders, no installing crap, nothing. Websites and advertisers have made ad blockers necessary and they have no one to blame but themselves.

I use Brave. It seems to do well.

with this even edge is better than chrome.

Firefox, and unironically Edge, are far better anyway, imo.

Yep, saw this today when I jumped into my computer.
Next thing I did was install Firefox. Was putting it off because I’m lazy.
But I’m not watching 7 ads in a 10 minute video.

goodbye google chrome

Couldn’t an OS level application still accomplish this regardless of what Google tries to do?

I switched away from chrome quite a while ago when their resource usage became so damn high. Firefox is back to stay. They were great about 15 years ago but then chrome was this super light browser. This is absolutely over.

Any way I can move my Google profile to Firefox safely? Or sign into my Google on Firefox?
Just curious for my various non-serious password stuff before I make the change.

Opera has been blocking ads for me since 2005. Never had to use any other browser really as there was always either a built-in blocker or a 3rd party extension that never stopped working.
Come to firefox. I switched a month ago. Sure switching was a bit hard with a few things like finding a good password manager and such but honestly love firefox so far and have not looked back.

I switched to Firefox 2 years ago. To the user experience, literally no difference. Just do it. It’s best for your privacy, at no cost to you.

why would anyone be using chrome anyway
Spicywolff
It’s nearly 2025. Why are you still using chrome? Use Firefox and keep using U block and enjoy while you can.
