I use AdGuard on my iPhone for an ad free experance in safari.
I’m going to be moving to pi hole or similar for network wide blocking in home.
Google certainly isn’t doing itself any favors after the US Justice Department ruled they were a monopoly. In the end I doubt that ruling will go anywhere beyond a slap on the wrist but this type of behavior certainly shows exactly why businesses like Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc must not be allowed to control too many parts of the internet.
hopefully this doesn’t affect my youtube adblock. i may just have to go outside and play if i’m forced to watch ads. haha
Already did.
– Sent from my Firefox.
Switched to firefox two years ago when they started pulling this shit. haven’t looked back. I don’t pay for internet service to watch strobing ads that create security vulnerabilities in my system on every single page.
People that paid attention to what google was doing already moved. Now the average user is going to be waking up to the fact that their favorite ad blockers no longer work on chrome.
Firefox has been truly excellent for awhile now – join us!
When to Firefox years ago when I noticed Chrome locking up my SDR setup and pinning the CPU at 100% for over a minute. Never mind the ram usage. Chrome is gross.
“Welcome back” Firefox.
I do my work in Chrome for the sake of keeping bookmarks/accounts separate and because chrome is the browser websites are the least likely to have issues with. But otherwise I do everything in Firefox, and if I ever accidentally look something up in chrome while I’m working I immediately regret it. So much of the web is basically unusable at this point if you don’t have ad blockers, I don’t understand how people do it.
Been using firefox for years not sure why anyone uses chrome anyway
Google needs to remember that users are not loyal to web browsers. It’s a few clicks to use Firefox or Opera instead.
I switched from chrome to Firefox the other month. It works just well, only noticeable difference is being able to make any video a pop out, which is really handy.
“Might”? Already made the switch.
Switch? I never left. I’ve been using Firefox since essentially it’s beginning.
Ublock origin is fresh in Firefox and blocks YouTube ads well
I never left Firefox.
Never left Firefox. Chrome was and is so overrated.
Who the hell still uses chrome, i don’t even have this browser installed in my pc anymore
As soon as my blocker stops working I’m switching. Basically free advertising for Firefox. Ironic
That’s what happens when you can’t innovate and lose the direction of the company. Pichai needs to be fired.
Might?
Bissh I changed last year when they made the announcement.
I never left Firefox on my PC.
I’ve fully switched to Firefox two years ago.
It’s my internet connection, it is still up to me to decide which content I want to download while browsing.
Chrome lived long enough to become Internet Explorer.
Been using Edge and I like it. 🤷🏻♂️
Switching to Firefox if Brave is affected.
The second my ad-blocker stops working is the second I switch to Firefox.
_google looks to be making internet unusable for people who still refuse to switch away from chrome_
fixed that for you. I wouldn’t have a problem with ads if they weren’t breaking the ability to browse and pushing out malware and notification scam scares. I work IT and the frequency my client get fake antivirus alerts via adverts is insane.
