Makers of content blockers, privacy add-ons say promises weren’t kept
Anybody else read this as “Google’s Chrome Extension, being slow, reforms anger developers” and have waaay too many questions before finally working it out?
No? Just me? I’ll just go over here then.
The advertising company’s web browser doesn’t allow you to block its advertising? Color me shocked!
Problem without solution.
Chromium by Google, Safari by Apple, Firefox by Mozilla. All are developed by companies that are part of advertising industry.
Mozilla is not part of the advertising industry…
As if these are all equally deep in advertising with the same motivations and history
Everything still works in Firefox.
You can just leave.

I’m shocked I say, shocked… well not that shocked.
I think the most interesting part of that whole thing was the people at AdGuard and Privacy Badger apparently believing the advertising company wasn’t going to hurt them.
