The Chrome team has since added new features in response and is ready to disable old Manifest V2 extensions in 2024...

    Nope. Many Chromium forks already have very good inbuilt adblockers , which won’t be affected by the MV3 stuff. On top of that, one could also use system-wide blockers such as AdGuard and DNS-level blockers (which is not even a bad idea if you’re on Windows anyway).

      System wide ad blockers can’t block a lot of ads, namely same-domain ads or those that are built into the html. Much rarer than the external page kind (DNS ones) thankfully.

      You can continue to cope or you can upgrade to a real browser.

        I already upgraded to Brave years ago. Thanks. And fuck Mozilla.

            If anything, they’re worse.

            1. Brave is an advertising company, that blocks everyone, but them. Forcing over people and companies into their system.
            2. They’re heavily in the blockchain ecosystem, with their own worthless crypto.
            3. They take from open source projects (uBlock, Chromium, etc), but threaten legal action when someone forks them.
            4. They install bloat/spyware on your Windows system (later claimed it was a mistake).
            5. Brave, and its CEO is right-wing, lobbying against things like same-sex marriage.

            I could go on.
