The amount of disconnect with reality in the comments on this is / will continue to be hilarious
Use Firefox.
This is the easiest problem to solve.
New? This is years in the working.
*making
Literally told people to expect this if they keep using chrome and now they are in disbelief, more so when I send them the screen cap of me telling them to expect it.
But why would an ad company want to block ad blockers? That makes no sense…
New??

That alone would be why it’s good if they had to sell it.
The only issue with forcing them to sell it is Mozilla will lose most of its income stream. Hopfully selling it causes much branching making it harder to target firefox in making websites uncompatable.
The fuck you mean “new”? They have been trying to force chromium based browsers on everyone in part for this exact reason
Switch to Firefox, be happy.
Brave Browser if you still want a Chromium based browser. Also ranks as one of the best privacy browsers
Brave is malware that should never be used. If you need a Chromium based browser, Vivaldi is a good choice. Otherwise Firefox.
Brave has plenty of problems and chromium base is only one of them, here’s some easy examples from recent history:
The issue came to widespread attention yesterday, when Twitter user @Cryptonator1337 pointed out that Brave Browser auto-filled a referral code to the end of the web address when “binance.us” is typed into the address bar. Binance is a cryptocurrency trading website, and with that referral code, Brave Software could earn 20% from trading fees for every account created using the link.

- Brave browser reportedly redirected its users to the company’s own referral links when navigating to different platforms such as Binance, Coinbase, and others.
- Following the incident, the price of Basic Attention Token plummeted over 6%.
- But over the last few hours, the bulls appear to have stepped in, signaling that BAT is poised for further gains.
Best case scenario Brave is difficult to fully trust, why go out of your way to use a browser that tries to monetize your usage?
While we’re at it fuck every chromium-based browser. Why help google conquer the internet that much faster? Because that’s how they attack unlock origin and such, that’s how they introduce lag and pauses for people visiting YouTube on non chromium browsers, etc.
New???
That’s why I don’t use chrome.
Okay, thanks. I remember reading quite a bit about this but in another thread a while back, several people were recommending Brave. I was using it for a while and I do like the speed, especially on Android. I was using Firefox on both desktop and Androis but I think uBlock Origin on Firefox causes a 2-5 pause when accessing some websites. It’s really weird and I haven’t been able to figure it out.
Overall, I agree about Brave and the shady monetization stuff.
Nu?
Who gives a fuck? Just stop using chrome
There was a time not too long ago where I would have just assumed a move this clearly douchey and against your customers’ desires would lead to nothing but a complete evacuation of those customers, but I’ve seen this movie play out enough times to know that somehow, someway, this will work out just fine for them. People will complain, swallow it whole, keep on using it, and finally just forget about it.
It turns out the majority of people are just really fuckin’ dumb.
this stumps me, when an alternatice can be installed in 2 seconds like every other app
This has been coming since they announced Manifest v3. Anyone paying any attention at all knew this was going to happen.
and switched to Firefox if they weren’t already using it
