guess which all-powerful tech monopoly is breaking ublock origin (and umatrix, and likely many other similar add-ons, such as noscript) in their browser, which happens to be the most popular browser in the world?

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=896897&desc=2#c23

who could have foreseen this? who would ever think that an advertising company's web browser would end up breaking compatibility with an ad blocker? frankly i'm shocked

@lynnesbian is that only on Chrome, or also on other chromium-based browsers?
@awitch all chromium based browsers

gaggle can go eat its ads through the backend
(rant over)

I went from Firefox to Opera to now Vivaldi, all have pros and cons, but next up in the line for me seems to be Brave. Have you tried it?

@awitch brave has some kinda scummy business practices, like supplying a mode that blocks ads only to replace them with its own, and using a cryptocurrency called "basic attention tokens" to measure how effective their ads are

also, go quote wikipedia, "In a future version of the browser, the company intends to adopt a pay-to-surf business model."

@lynnesbian damn, sounds bad. Are there any relatively good “mainstream” options?

@awitch i use firefox  

it's not perfect but its the best out there imo

even if mozilla is making some really poor decisions rn

@lynnesbian thanks for the advice, I’ll be on the lookout for browsers
