PoSHMagiC0de Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Well, I guess this was coming. Google wants to break ad blockers in Chrome and do not care if they piss off their users. Looks like I am going full blown firefox. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2019/05/30/google-just-gave-2-billion-chrome-users-a-reason-to-switch-to-firefox/amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildposer Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 It's unfair for GC users. Well if it's so, it's time to use FF then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I'm rocking Brave now. So far so good. Been using it for a few months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I just swapped to Brave the other day. I couldn't believe the load times. Installed my usual chrome extensions, and I have PiHole network wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Personally I use Opera, which has the benefits of the same base engine chrome uses, but without the chrome issues above. Also has built in ad-blocker, if you so choose, but I use Ad Block and Script blockers along with some other extensions. I can't see Opera limiting the same as Google is doing, considering their ad-blocker is built into Opera, it's an advantage built in at this point. I did use Brave for a while but somewhere I read that in doing so, you authorize them to use your data for other things, ie: they are the tracker you would otherwise be blocking with all the add ons like ad block and script block extensions, but does nothing to block them from seeing and tracking and sharing your info. edit: see https://www.theblockcrypto.com/2018/12/24/brave-browser-is-collecting-donations-on-your-behalf-did-you-know/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
