I really hope this is Chrome shooting their selves in the foot. Like a fool I am using Chrome as I type this, my excuse is Chrome has my banking numbers saved and haven't taken the 2 seconds to enter it into firefox so it is ready and convenient. But if I can't use an adblocker and if I don't have control over what runs on my hardware then kiss me goodbye. I will finish the switch today and uninstall Chrome.


They're openly planning the end of UBlock Origin with their upcoming add-on change (Manifest v3). Start moving now.


May I offer a suggestion? A third party password manager grants the freedom to switch browsers at will on mobile and desktop. It's a nice feeling.

Of course bookmarks and extensions are another important factor but it's nice to be liberated from at least one part of the chain.
