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.

    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.
