Didn't make Chrome Adblockers unusable a while ago? Are 90% of the people now using chrome with ads??
somehow, some people can use the net without an adblocker. i have no idea how, but they're out there.
And I'm grateful for these people. If everyone was using adblockers then companies like Google and advertisers would try even harder to break adblockers so it's best if some amount of the population continues to browse without adblockers so I can get ad free access to the internet
This is my favorite take on this site. Thank you.
It’s naive to think they’re not trying as hard as they can. Companies are not allowed to stop going for more, if 99% of all users didn’t block ads, they’d go just as hard after the 1% that did.
I'm sure they are not sitting on their hands but if someday it started affecting their profits at a larger level, they'd put far more resources into anti ad block I think than they do now, also Chrome has already made ad blockers difficult to run on chrome which I guess was their endgame, thankfully non chrome based browsers like Firefox and Safari still exist so I'll continue supporting them, hopefully ladybird is also successful
Bunch of freaks
I see it all the time at work: all the boomers rawdogging the web on Edge, like the company IT department intended.
You can still get uBlock Origin for Edge.
Not on the company managed installs. They only allow a couple of plugins. Not that my colleagues would know what they're missing.
Ublock origin (for chrome) is gone, but ublock lite is available. Idk what the difference is
Fewer calories!
Left for you after clicking through all the BS.
it's really a lifesaver for us lactose intolerant folk. regular uBo gives me gas.
It's something 80% of the population suffers from! Might be linked to vaccines.
uBoL sucks A LOT compared to uBo.
Can you elaborate? Does it let some ads through?
They had to remove a lot of features for uBoL to be MV3-compliant.
They always were. Chrome on mobile has never supported add-ons, and that's been the main driver of browsing for a while now.
Desktop Chrome still has ad-blockers, but they're just less effective now, as they can't phone home for faster updates iirc.
The most significant changes was around the webRequest API, used to intercept and modify network requests. uBlock Origin used the API to block unwanted content before it loads. Google killed it because they want to force their ads and tracking on users.
I have an old pixelbook with ublock that still works.
