Me: Oh no, what will i do! Absolutely fuck all

You should switch from chrome to firefox. Less tracking built in to the browser. Also chrome is planning to deprecate manifest V2 which will break all adblockers.

Unless you use a browser that uses its own ad and tracker blocking. I get fewer ads on Vivaldi without adblocking then I get on Firefox with ublock origin.

Runs about half the resources that Firefox takes up too.

Ad block on chromium was supposed to break in January when manifest v3 came around and it doesn't seem like much has changed on browsers that were prepared for it like Brave and V.

Edge and Chrome are fucked, but who cares about them anyways.

Unless you were running Firefx with outdated uBO filters, I doubt that. Vivaldi is a memory hog for me.

Strange, it's literally half of Firefox with equivalent tabs.

Will this affect vanced?

Am I the only one here that uses Falkon. I love Firefox and everything they stand for. But I do like having my desktop windows match. Since I use Plasma, Firefox just doesn't match.

I actually deleted my google account yesterday. Felt so good. I'm finally free.

What do you use for email?

[-] MakuNagetto@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Firefox is the way.

Unpopular opinion (maybe) - But i'm using Edge, works with chrome extensions, I use BingAI for quick searches and the cleanest looking vertical tabs I've used without elbow grease and extensions

Here's another reply for "this is why you Firefox."

@Tibert What does this have to do with Google? Isn't this Facebook?

[-] lengsel@latte.isnot.coffee -1 points 1 year ago

Is that specifically a browser issue, as opposed to a webscript issue for detection?

Is it still an issue in Librewolf, Brave, and Ungoogled Chromium?

It is a self inflicted wound basically. Google killed support for how those ad blockers work.

Firefox based browsers literally will not have this problem at all.
