Can't wait till Kagi Browser releases their Linux version of a browser based on webkit, but it's prob at least another year or more frmo being released and Gnome Web is so featureless it's useless and can't even play YouTube videos half the time in 2025...

Show me "Not use Chrome"!
BZZZT
You can, but you should just switch to Firefox or accept ads in Chromium Browsers.
I can imagine that in the long run it will get harder for their forks to block ads with any extension.
I can't wait for Ladybird in the future 💪.
There is no such option "accepting ads". I will do everything in my power to block any type of ad in every device i own, no matter the diffuculty.

Why jump through all these hoops, and lessen the security of your browser in the process, just to do something that is being fully stripped out soon anyway?
Just install Firefox. It's not like you can't import your bookmarks and such.

I would make a toxic relationship joke but this shit is just not funny.
Why bother? Chromium browsers suck.
I hate chrome with a passion and it really sucks that Firefox isn't as convenient for profiles, a feature I rely heavily on, although, I'm still switching. fuck ads and fuck data harvesting, I'd rather have a slightly less performant browser than be visually assaulted and have my performance tank.
I mean there is always floorp which has better profiles
Haven't heard of that one before, it's pretty interesting from first impressions though. I'll try it out tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks!
Lots of comments in here saying to just use Firefox, and they're entirely correct, but the one use case for articles like this I could think of is where you are forced to use Chrome at work but can still install extensions.
