Google is weakening ad blockers as part of their MV3 extension standard and this will trickle down into all Chromium browsers. Built in ad blockers lack features compared to uBlock Origin as well.

    Unfortunate that people are fooled by Mozilla’s pretend privacy promises.

      It’s not like we have great options here. Safari isn’t supported on Windows or Linux. Opera has its own issues (like predatory loan apps) even if you’re willing to pay for it. Crossing my fingers that Ladybird will work out, but it has a long way to go (though it did better than I thought it would when I tried it a few months back). Everything else is some variant of Chrome.

      If you need to be on the web at all, Firefox still seems like the best of the shit pile.

        There’s also the Firefox forks like Zen and Floorp. It’s still early days for Zen, but it’s looking promising.

      Not just that, not everyone who was listed in their open letters apparently agreed to or knew they were in them
