Nope. Many Chromium forks already have very good inbuilt adblockers , which won't be affected by the MV3 stuff. On top of that, one could also use system-wide blockers such as AdGuard and DNS-level blockers (which is not even a bad idea if you're on Windows anyway).

System wide ad blockers can't block a lot of ads, namely same-domain ads or those that are built into the html. Much rarer than the external page kind (DNS ones) thankfully.

You can continue to cope or you can upgrade to a real browser.

I already upgraded to Brave years ago. Thanks. And fuck Mozilla.

Why you got beef with Mozi? They chill

[–] Engywuck@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, no. Too much disregard for the community and useless political crap, apart from hypocrisy on their fake anti-Google stance.

Such an ignorant and bad faith statement I won't even bother to reply.

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They said in their reply.

Are you for real? Everything you said reads like a tech bro caricature

Brave isn’t any better of an option with all the controversies they’ve had.

[–] Platform27@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

If anything, they’re worse.

  1. Brave is an advertising company, that blocks everyone, but them. Forcing over people and companies into their system.
  2. They’re heavily in the blockchain ecosystem, with their own worthless crypto.
  3. They take from open source projects (uBlock, Chromium, etc), but threaten legal action when someone forks them.
  4. They install bloat/spyware on your Windows system (later claimed it was a mistake).
  5. Brave, and its CEO is right-wing, lobbying against things like same-sex marriage.

I could go on.
