Stop Running Google Chrome Immediately

I warned you when the Manifest v3 rollout was announced, I warned you just before it's started, this is your very final warning to stop running Google Chrome and Chromium if you care about content blockers actually working.

I'm testing out subtitles made with Whisper with a bit of manual editing on top for some videos so if you spot any problems please let me know

PS. I know Brave has a built in adblocker, that's unaffected, that's why I said it has a built in adblocker, that's unaffected

[ApolloTheDerg]

The internet is unusable without an adblocker. Not only are they annoying, they are literally a risk to your computer.

[lorenzop]

I will NOT allow any corporation to shove ads in my face. the whole reason I am sick of ads is because these corporations keep pushing the limits to see how much users will put up with. I say NO

[IvanKleshnin]

"You'll watch every Ad and you'll be happy". Nope.

[IamCoalfoot]

Google decides competitors aren't allowed ads, then get butthurt when customers decide they don’t want ads.

[mawnkey]

It's almost like trusting companies with a financial incentive to force ads on you while censoring the hell out of you is a bad idea or something.

[XoaGray]

I gave up on Chrome a long time ago, back when Google quit being the "Don't be evil" company and decided that just straight up being evil was the way to go.

[davidDN]

No warning needed for me, we are already on firefox

[light-gray]

Google Chrome is the biggest ad for Firefox..

[robina.jensen]

I'm using Firefox. If the day arrives where ad-blocker on youtube no longer works and i'll be forced to see ads on start of video and every 2 minutes of the video, i'll stop using Youtube!!!
Youtube is detroying there own website with ads! If you don't have an ad-blocker, when seeing / listens to music, it will be ruined at every 5 minuttes! I don't want my music disturbed by stupid ads!

[mrwang]

We need an ad blocker that not only blocks but tells the ad system that the ad has been viewed. Instead of blocking it outright. Tricking the system into thinking the ads have been viewed and will move onto the content and they won't know the ad has been blocked.

[TommyGunz_]

The last line you said "maybe you'll just give up on ad-blocking" Not a fucking chance in hell will i ever give up on ad-blocking. I'll go down swinging on that when i go to a website and click on something and have to close 20 tabs just to do the thing i wanna do. Yah fk all the bullshit.

[tato-chip]

ITS SO CHROVER.
BILLIONS MUST WATCH ADS.

[krispee]

Honestly, at this point, the plugins should just say to use Firefox for a better version in their description

[MiukuMac]

On a more serious note, I do not understand why uBlock developers, or those of AdGuard, have not complained to EU about Google's near-monopolistic control over the Chromium project and via it projecting it to every other browser that uses it. It's almost certain that their dominance of the browser market violates EU TFEU Article 102 which prohibits abusive conduct by companies that have a dominant position on a particular market.

Since reducing security and privacy, which removing adblocking most certainly does, can be seen as harming consumers combined with market dominance is grounds for an anti-trust.. let's get on moving that forward, eh?

[PolandDoge]

Advertisers dont understand that shoving a product into my face makes me way less likely to buy it

[GoffRokkit]

I became a big Firefox user back when ads on IE and official websites like msnbc were downloading malware on your computer just for being on their site. Many years before Chrome existed.
And I don't intend to leave anytime soon.

[TheToastedGoblin]

If for some reason i cant block youtube ads in any way, we fall back to a "modern DVR" of sorts. Where i just download what i wanna watch instead of watching on youtube directly.

[Crnobyl]

Other browsers based on Chromium should get together and agree to implement an API that gives the same MV2 ad blocking capability to MV3. Essentially implement that capability anyway and only Google Chrome and Edge wouldn't implement them while everyone else does.

Sure Chrome would not be able to use those extensions but browsers that would implement this API would be able to. Perhaps it will get people moving to Vivaldi or Brave.

[theldraspneumonoultramicro]

ad blockers is vital for security reasons, because many ads on many sites is malware infested and contain harmful spyware cookies which get force downloaded onto your system without ad blockers, blocking ad blockers is essentialy the same as blocking a anti-virus program.
