Google ramps up its campaign against ad blockers on Chrome.
  • Google is transitioning Chrome’s extension support from the Manifest V2 framework to the V3.
  • This means users won’t be able to use uBlock Origin to block ads on Google Chrome.
  • However, there’s a new iteration of the app — uBlock Origin Lite, which is Manifest V3 compliant but doesn’t boast the original version’s comprehensive ad-blocking features.

    Do you know if brave browser is better than firefox? they claim to prioritize user privacy more than firefox

      I’d use Firefox over brave. The company behind brave will still sell your data.

      They’re selling the tor feature of brave. You can install tor in FF.

      I like brave because it’s staffed with developers full-time to block YouTube. I don’t love their crypto, but I don’t use it, and it does pay their devs.

      brave is based on chromium, so it’s not 100% safe from google
