    Between Manifest V3 and the Play Integrity API, Google is really trying hard to kill the open internet and android.

    Stopped using that garbage browser a couple of weeks ago. Hardened Firefox ftw. Just using stock Firefox isn’t enough if you’re concerned about your privacy on the internet btw. If all you’re looking for is an ad free experience tho, then stock Firefox should be enough.

    I feel like I have seen this news since forever, I am happily living my life with Firefox… Although the android mobile really needs some love.

      Oh man. Once Firefox on Android got extension support, I hopped on that train so hard. No ads on mobile browser? Heck yeah.

        It has extensions support for like 6 years at this point. Unless you got some extreme obscure extensions

      Just like how Micro$oft Windows is advertsiting Linux, Google Chrome advertsites Firefox!

    “Time to switch to uBlock Lite or another ad blocker”

    No. Time to switch to Firefox or derivative such as Librewolf.

      Brave is actually very good and seems to have a great blocker

      ps. their mobile browser has also been great on older phones

          ps. Brave has also built-in P2P and TOR features among other features

          actually an interesting browser

            Be careful with the Tor features, they allow you to open some onion sites but don’t supply the extra anonymity/security of the actual Tor browser.

      Unfortunately I’m stuck with Chrome at work so having something like Ublock Lite available is somewhat helpful. I just hope it still blocks youtube ads because they’re the worst.

        I strongly suspect that is exactly what they’re trying to stop.

      Just wait, there will be “features” that are mandatory on most sites, only supported in chrome.
