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.

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…

Check out LibreWolf. There’s no reason to wait.

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.

Ubo lite seems to work just fine for my needs, which is blocking yt ads. Everything else vivaldi or adguard catches

The UBlock Origin Lite app (currently in Testflight beta but seems to be full, but hopefully coming to the app store soon) works great with iOS Safari. I use that on iOS and Firefox on the desktop, which turns out to be a great combo if you have password and bookmark management separate.
Firefox Focus is also great as the default browser on the phone to avoid links opening from Meta or Google in Safari.
Running the «Always in Container» extension in Firefox gives the same effect on desktop and avoids opening a link in the wrong container. Highly recommended: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/…/always-in-container/

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

If you have to use a Chromium browser. Just use Brave. It haves a built in ad blocker.

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?

They fixed it, brave.com/blog/rewards-update.

Ubo has a video in the reddit sub on how to do it.

I hate that the source article title has a comma splice, and rules say we have to perpetuate that.

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.
