Chrome pushes forward with plans to limit ad blockers in the future::Google has set a date for the introduction of Manifest V3 which will hurt the capabilities of many ad blockers.
This is what happens when you invest in a platform run by a glorified ad-tech company.
precisely, since google makes most of its revenue from ads, this move shouldn’t surprise anyone
At this point I’m beginning to feel fine with it. If you care, switch to Firefox, you probably already did, if not, enjoy your ads.
Ads have become so intrusive, and have made using the internet a nightmare.
This video does a nice job at explaining the ad-based internet we face at the moment: tilvids.com/w/99oSPPBJb3tkdVLc3fsSe5
I quite enjoy my PiHole as well.
I’m just a tech hobbyist and not a network engineer but my general understanding is that even if chrome is “updated” so as blockers won’t work as before, blocking at the DNS level should still work, right? Assuming that they still use separate ad servers.
Switch? I never left! 🗿🗿🗿
