Poll: You've switched or plan to switch from Chrome after ad-blocker changes

Google is changing the way extensions work on Chrome, effectively breaking ad-blocker add-ons. But you're definitely voting with your feet.

The free version also works.

Just use a dns which blocks advert.

Or disable javascript.

The dns level blocker also blocks ads on apps.

The problem is this breaks if you run local DNS Server

Why would you want to? The beauty of this is it's all remotely managed plus they have 50 million windscribe VPN users providing them with false positivs etc. so you get much less of those as well. Much better than Pihole or Adguard.

Firefox browser has become a POS in general. From fast and furious it has become a slow, disorganized junk trip.

I used Firefox Lite on my phone for a long time. Fantastically responsive and lightning fast browser with it's excellent built in adblocker. Than they closed shop on Lite and tried to force me onto the new Firefox slow sluggish POS.

Bye bye Firefox. I don't like your product anymore after a total of at least 18 years of both PC and Android use.

Your developers need to be shot.

Not sure what you are on about. Firefox has been working well for me on my pc for years. The mobile app sucks though.

So after years of selling your data to 3rd parties, they’re now going to force you to watch their ads too?

I’ve been using Firefox desktop for donkeys years. I haven’t had issues with the android app, sync even works these days, what issues do you have?
