Use firefox

And if you don't like Firefox, use one of the Firefox forks. Some of them are very Chrome-like.

Chrome is no longer available on my computer.

I wish I could say the same. Web dev. 🫡 But at least I'm using Chromium, if that's even slightly better.

I take this as a sign that it genuinely still works to block ads and hasn’t sold out and become malware like those others that used to be popular.

And that is why I went to Firefox once Google announced this bullshit.

Swapping is pretty painless. It even brings over all your passwords and stuff these days. Best get to swapping before Google disable that as well. They'd just love to keep you hostage.

Use a third party password manager, don’t rely on browser default ones

Google is not an IT company. It’s an advertising company. Surprised Pikachu, it blocks ad blockers.

Doesn't cover 100% of what uBO did, but it still works just as good IMO with DNS based ad-blocking on top.
