Using an adblocker on chrome is the funniest shit, that’s like using a condom to fuck a sheep.
Good job using a condom, but what the fuck are you doing fucking a sheep?

Just use Firefox. Its people’s fault that it got so bad because you basically gave them a browser monopoly
roserose56@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
JUST FU***** CHANGE BROWSER ALREADY! Why you have to be so stupid to use Chrome?
Saprophyte@lemmy.world 8 months ago
You should see people hanging onto windows instead of switching to any other OS…
Lemminary@lemmy.world 8 months ago
According to the people I know, “It’s better” because they won the browser speed race without looking at anything else.

You can still block ads while shoving your data up Google’s ass.
Don’t use Chrome

My first web browser was Mosaic version 1. I ran version 2 alpha for a bit.
Netscape started doing things better so I moved over to it.
Over the years I’ve bounced around from Netscape, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and a few others (the MS browsers never really swayed me). It seemed like every year I’d be moving to a new platform or version. I usually have 3-4 browsers installed on my computers at any given time.
Once Chrome blocked uOrigin I moved over to Firefox. Easy.
The point is, to get the best (and safest) browsing experience, you have to be flexible. If you just use the thing that “came with the computer” you’re going to have a bad time. If Chrome wants to break your browsing experience, ditch it.

uBlock Origin Lite seems to work fine for me.

Is this actually easier than installing librewolf?
BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Nope. It also sounds like it will repeatedly break after updates.

God, this is like those people who still insist on running Windows 7

lol noooooooooooo
Horrible from a security standpoint. A good step into the future, but honestly let it go.

Tbf, win7 was the best os i ever used. Only to be royally fucked by win8, win10 and win11. Oh how it has fallen…
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Hmm, openSUSE Tumbleweed has been the best OS I’ve ever used, and it’s still available. Windows 7 was marginally better than Vista because they fixed the broken stuff, but it still had all the problems of a Windows OS.

Just ditch chrome. Done.

I use Firefox when ads are overrunning my screen
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That is impossible for many people for the same reason why they still on Xitter, etc. They believe, that with enough willpower, the people ruining our software infrastructure can be convinced for the better. And also many people still believe that if you criticize their “meme browser” made by the cool “don’t be evil” company, you’re a Microsoft shill forcing them to use IE, that is buggy and slow.
SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
It blows my mind how many people use chrome over edge thinking that they are making super smart choice. I feel like I was still seeing memes on reddit making fun of Edge over Chrome.

Which I find absolutely hilarious, as Edgemium is a better browser than chrome. I still use Firefox first and foremost, but at work when I have to use something else, it performs better and has better features IMO.

“While users can still make uBlock Origin work, it will eventually stop working altogether, and no method will be able to mend it. Therefore, users will have to either switch to Manifest V3-based blockers, such as uBlock Lite, or move to browsers that still support Manifest V2. Firefox, Opera, and Brave, for example, do not plan to ditch those extensions just yet.” Just fucking switch already!

Can’t wait till Kagi Browser releases their Linux version of a browser based on webkit, but it’s prob at least another year or more frmo being released and Gnome Web is so featureless it’s useless and can’t even play YouTube videos half the time in 2025…
BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Check out LibreWolf. There’s no reason to wait.
Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world [bot] 8 months ago
Librewolf is too hardened for my use case. By the time I tweak Librewolf to my liking, it’s functionally Firefox, but with a different icon, lol. Just gonna ride out Firefox for the next year or two and them jump off this ship.

If you have to use a Chromium browser. Just use Brave. It haves a built in ad blocker.
finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
You mean the browser that was caught injecting affiliate codes on cryptocurrency sites and misleading users into making donations that were collected by brave instead of the supposed recipient? That browser?
hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
They fixed it, brave.com/blog/rewards-update.

Eh.
After years and years of Chrome I just up and switched on Friday when they finally pulled the plug.
No regrets. No waving from the stern of the ship as I sail away from Chromeland.
If they choose to take away a valuable tool I consider necessary for browsing the web, then I have no loyalty to them and can easily move on. Took all of 10 seconds to import my shit into Firefox and be on my way.
Bye, Chrome. Thanks for being a useful, until you weren’t.
OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Just fucking switch

Have you looked into Firefox Multi Account Containers? I use this extension to quickly switch between multiple tab groups, some of which do use SSO while using the same service (e.g. Outlook). Plus, you can easily create new tabs like Ctrl + Shift + (#1-9) to open a container of your choice among other shortcuts
JK_Flip_Flop@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Firefox has a new profiles experience in v138 and up. Each can have its own extensions and settings. If you’ve got more than one you can switch in the taskbar. The only thing you might be missing is using multiple profiles at once?
RageAgainstTheRich@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I use Firefox on everything EXCEPT my Steam Deck. Firefox will not let you open the dropdown menu to exit, make videos fullscreen etc. And when a notification pops up, your firefox is now 100 by 30 pixels…
I wish they would fix it already…
I can use firefox in desktop mode but i don’t like having to switch to desktop mode and wait for everything. Then switch back to play something.

I have to use Chrome to access a couple of sites that don’t play nice with Firefox.
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Then you use Chrome for sites that require it and Firefox for everything else.
Kazel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
If they don’t play nice then fuck em
ClydapusGotwald@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Just use edge, it’s chrome based. Or any other chrome based browsers that aren’t google chrome?

I bet those sites will play nice if you switch user-agents.

Ubo lite seems to work just fine for my needs, which is blocking yt ads. Everything else vivaldi or adguard catches
ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Lots of comments in here saying to just use Firefox, and they’re entirely correct, but the one use case for articles like this I could think of is where you are forced to use Chrome at work but can still install extensions.

For those that do need to use Chrome for whatever reason, don’t bother with all this faff just use uBOL, it’s just as good as uBO
